Christian prophetic thought has long understood that God’s timetable centers on Israel. It’s actually more than that, as Samuel Wearp can tell you. Samuel has been connected to Israel for many years, particularly through his family’s business, Blessed Buy Israel, and the bridgebuilding work of Ten From the Nations, and now in a new work called Rising Sparks. We talk about all of that in this three-part conversation that starts with the story of how Samuel and his bride, Keila, found each other. Even that story has an Israel connection!
In a real sense, the story of Israel is the story of God’s love for His people and for the whole world. How are we to respond to His love? That’s an element in the music of House of Aaron and Miriam Houtz, and a question Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate in their midrash, “Does How We Worship Matter?”

Let your heart and mind remain open to the leading of the Spirit. Do not let the ideals of the world unduly influence your own opinions, but let your opinions be those of God. Whatever he tells you to do, do that. Wherever he directs your path, go there.
If the world tells you that your actions or your direction is wrong, what is that to a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven? Let them say what they will; I follow Joshua in the service of my savior.

[Verse]
It’s what Yah gave His Son for,
It’s what Yeshua died for,
A people for His treasure,
Zealous for His pleasure.
[Chorus]
Be the new creation!
Let’s be the holy nation!
In Anointed,
let his blood wash your sins away.
See yourself becoming new, day by day.
Exhortation:
Let's unite as the 'new lump' ?
Send me a message
and tell me that you want to unite
as a mutually accountable brother/sister
in the pure partnership of Yeshua's Body.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable ministry.
Romans 12:1
In the light of God’s ultimate power and knowledge within himself and his mercy toward us, the only reasonable response is one of extreme gratitude. We ought to be willing to render him any service, even to the sacrifice of our own lives.
I did a comic a while back showing that there are three types of categories of things in the Bible: Holy, Common, and Pagan (or unholy). I want to dive deeper into each category. This is on what is Common.
In my initial comic I compared things like driving as being common. However, when we look at verses such as Acts 10:14 (some translations say 'impure' or 'unholy' instead of common) we can see that Peter is calling something other than unclean animals as common.
We know from Leviticus 11 there is only clean and unclean. So, what is this common? This goes back to Acts 10 and what is happening in the vision, and the result of that vision.
In the vision it is stated that the sheet contained "all kinds of animals". Many look at this and say this was just the unclean animals due to Peter's response. If we consider the "all" to mean "all", then in the sheet there were also clean animals.
However, these clean animals were no longer being considered clean by the tradition at the time because they were co-mingling with unclean animals. So, even though God made lamb as clean to eat, if it was hanging around a pig, Peter wouldn't eat it, essentially acting like it is unclean.
This is where the interpretation and definition really play out in the chapter.
Acts 10:15 - A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has made clean, you must not call common.”
This isn't a declaration to make all animals now okay for food. This is saying if God says it is okay to eat this animal, it doesn't matter who it is hanging around with, it is still okay to eat.
Which is the message God was giving to Peter about people. It doesn't matter that the Gentiles were seen as unclean in the eyes of the Jews of the times. God didn't make people unclean, do not treat them as such.
Back to my initial assessment of common: I don't see the Bible really addressing things that aren't labeled as holy or pagan, such as driving. I don't think God ever felt that was something that was needed. There are things in our lives that everyone does, whether you are a believer or not: breathing, sleeping, driving a car (I know not everyone), etc...
But one thing those things do have in common, pun intended, is they aren't things used in religious worship practices.
