Moshe Schwab's Podcast

I frequently point out that if nations just kept the commandments to not murder and not covet, we would have fewer wars. That is the amazing impact of just two of God’s commandments. The 10 Commandments are good commandments and so are the other commandments in the Old Testament. Also, there are many good applications of the Old Testament commandments in the New Testament portion. God commandments...

Without God, nothing would exist. God tells Noah in Genesis 9:3 NKJV, "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs." God is our provider. Unbelievers think this concept is a fairy tale because they do not believe in God. We do not need a father figure as some deceptively say. They are not right, they are deluded. As we have ta...

I am challenged over and over by people who do not believe in God's commandments. They will twist the scriptures to mean that we do not have to keep God's commandments in the Old Testament portion. 2 Peter 3:15-16 NKJV says, "Our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are...

Start this season right. Seek those things which are above, do not focus on the worldly. Sometimes people think that worldly things are what is most meaningful. Guarding or keeping our relationship with God is what is most important. Some congregations have what we call a low bar for a relationship with God. In other words, they believe little is required of the believer in God. The Bible says ove...

In Jewish synagogues, the trumpets are sounded 100 times with the last trump being blown until all air is used up. This perhaps is a picture of the end times. Shaul said in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 NKJV, "But we shall all be changed — in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.&quot...

We are victorious in life by following God and His good commandments. In the end, those who are faithful will receive eternal life in an amazing and wonderful future kingdom of God.   As believers in the true God, we are to keep God's commandments because He is a good and all-knowing God who knows what is best and has His best intentions for mankind. Therefore, to reject God's commandmen...

When we follow God's commandments we are following God's directions for life. Following God will give us satisfaction in life. Isaiah 58:11 NKJV says, "The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail." God satisfies in life physically and sp...

Seek spiritual things that have spiritual significance. Be honest with where you are spiritually, and be dedicated to learn and grow spiritually. Be profitable in your spiritual approach and apply yourself well to living in truth, keeping God's commandments, and do not forget about the Messianic gift of the Holy Spirit. Doing things God’s way affects your life and is profitable and God can ev...

He said in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NKJV, "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the a...

The true God has given mankind so much, yet it seems that mankind is stubborn and will never learn that God's ways will bring peace, blessing, and prosperity. Peace and satisfaction in life are often the most valued things in life. Psalms 119:165-167 NKJV says, "Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble. LORD, I hope for Your salvation, and I do Your co...

So, mankind keeps making the same mistakes over and over instead of doing what is right. The Bible says the Old Testament commandments give us wisdom and understanding (see Deuteronomy 4:6). Don't we want what is "right and good?" Why wouldn't people want what a good, caring, and loving God wants for us through His word and His commandments? People make themselves into a god an...

we must try to apply proper applications of the Torah. For example, the Old Testament portion tells us to return an ox to its owner, namely what belongs to others (see Deuteronomy 22:1). An ox can be very costly to replace. My mom explained this commandment to me and told me that we should try to find the owner of something that was lost, but if it was just a small amount of money and we did not k...

Yeshua tells us to keep praying. Luke 18:1 NKJV says, "Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart." God is willing and able to do special things for us at times. Ephesians 3:20 NKJV says, "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." Be strong and trust in God...

We need to control our thoughts so that we think right and do what is right. Maintain correct ideals, motivations, thoughts, and behaviors. Live a kingdom life. Allow God to rule your life. Our God is the good creator and king of all that exists. He sustains all that is and has given us good commandments to live by. God has also given us His good Holy Spirit in this Messianic age (see Luke 11:11-1...

Our God is there, and He wants us to be in fellowship with Him. We fellowship with a person by listening to each other. We need to decide to listen to God and not faulty ideas made-up by people. Listen to God's words which are able to help us and keep us. People think they can be savvy and know what is best instead of doing what God says to do. There are lots of ways to live, but only the tru...

God values each and every believer. And each person is a valuable part of God's spiritual family. God is over all believers and His people are to follow Him. The identity of a believer has more to do with joining a spiritual family or being a believer in the true God. We are a special people that God values because we value God and what He says. Our thoughts and actions reflect what God taugh...

Psalms 29:11 NKJV says, "The LORD will give strength to His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace." Even the earth rejoices at those who follow God. Isaiah 55:12 NKJV says, "For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." With the...

We are people of light. Live as people of light for our own good. Be enlightened through God's best ways and truths for life. Be renewed and refreshed through God. He is the good creator God who wants to help mankind. Guard your thoughts for your own good. Stay in the sure ways of life. Watch your step and do not be sidetracked. God's commandments can help us in life. We truly have somet...

God is the creator and provider. He cares about us and wants what is best for mankind. My experience has been that God is incredibly good to us. We do not find God by doing things our own way but by seeking God with our whole heart. We exhibit God’s truths for life and can bring His goodness with us. We learn to do what is true and good from a good God. Some people say that keeping God's comm...

Remember, we are in a spiritual battle, and we need to stand up and fight spiritually so we do what is right and good. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 NKJV says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God." Stay true to God's commandments and to biblic...

Think on what is true and good and be energized. Consider how the Bible teaches us to live, and do not make worldly ideas and concepts into doctrine. Consider what you think. Are they truths, are you sincere about doing what God says, or are you just looking for thrills? The truths from God in the Bible are truths to live life by. If you want to be sincere about something, sincerely seek God'...

Do not allow sin to run your life. Instead, be strong, follow God, and keep His commandments. Joshua 1:8-9 NKJV says, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be...

One person’s truth is sometimes different than someone else’s truth. What is the truth? There must be a right way and a wrong way to do something. For thousands of years, people have applied God's commandments to life and have been grateful to God for His good commandments. Be a light bearer in life. Philippians 2:15 NKJV says, "Become blameless and harmless, children of God without faul...

Do not allow your children to be taught Communism.  We talked about the murderous societies of communism last week. The following is an excerpt from last week. Communism is based on good intentions instead of on good values.  Some people think that all there is to life is to have good intentions. Good intentions can be misleading if they are not based on what the Bible teaches. For example, people...
