May 16, 2022
You probably don’t spend much time thinking about the safety of birds. In Deuteronomy 21-23, God went out of His way to make sure birds were protected. He even made a law about it. God shows His love for the birds by protecting them with a law, just as He shows His love for us by giving us laws intended for our safety. Learn to see God’s Law in a new light—the light of His love and protection.

Today on the Bible Bus, we cover some terrifying topics. But have no fear! God is Immanuel—He is with us! In Deuteronomy 20 and 21, we learn about the rules of warfare, murder, captured women, and insubordinate sons. While today’s topics give rise to some feelings of mourning and fear, discover how each law points to God as “with us” even in life’s unpleasant times.

Don’t worry about the future. In Deuteronomy 18 and 19, God offers the hope and promise of a coming Messiah to His people. In doing so, He reminded the children of Israel of His plans to “give them a hope and a future.” As we continue our study of the Law, Dr. McGee encourages us to have hope in God regarding the future. If we have Him, then we have nothing to fear.

God doesn’t want our leftovers. He gives us His best, and He desires for us to give Him our best in return. In Deuteronomy 17 and 18, we are encouraged to give God our absolute best. Follow along with an open heart as Dr. McGee teaches through the laws concerning witnesses, court cases, kings, the Levites’ inheritance, and sorcery and divination.

Seven was God’s favorite number. Every seven years, all debts were to be forgiven, and slaves were able to be set free if they chose. In our study of the sabbatical year, Passover, Pentecost, and the feast of Tabernacles, discover God’s generous heart toward His people and how this same generosity extends to us today.

Today on the Bible Bus, we will cover several laws and customs the children of Israel were to follow. From more dietary laws to tithes and offerings, discover how the Law was almost like a “worship guide” for God’s people. While we are not required to follow many of these laws today, Dr. McGee encourages us to speak out against evil, take care of our bodies, and to give generously to the church.

Stick close to God, and He will stick close to you. We left off in Deuteronomy 11 with the principle of occupancy, which teaches us the painful truth that we often miss out on God’s blessings. In Deuteronomy 11-13, discover how Israel’s place of worship, dietary laws, and warnings against false prophets all offer insight into different ways God’s people were to stick close to Him and how the same truths apply to us today.

It didn’t take long for the children of Israel to lapse back into idolatry again. First, they asked God for the Law and promised they would keep it, then they broke the Law before it was even given to them by making a molten image. In Deuteronomy 10 and 11, discover Israel’s complete ignorance, Moses’ humble prayer, and how God’s anger toward sin and love for His people coincide.

While moving forward can be exciting, God wants us to remember the past, too. In Deuteronomy 8, He tells the children of Israel before they prepare to enter the Promised Land, “Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee.” Discover how the simple act of remembering can become a sacred practice of humility in your walk with the Lord.

Our love for God is measured by our love for others. In Deuteronomy 6 and 7, we review the importance of keeping God’s commandments and the total summation of the Law in the New Testament: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” In studying the immeasurable love of Elohim, we learn how obedience to Him is a way we can worship Him as Creator of all things.

We were born into conflict with God. Just like the children of Israel needed a mediator, so do we today. They knew their sin kept them at odds with God, and they begged for a mediator. In Deuteronomy 5, Dr. McGee encourages us to meet our Mediator, Jesus. Because of Jesus, you can stand before—or, even better, run to—God unafraid, knowing you are nothing but loved!
