Called Out Assembly | #church
At that time Jesus declared, I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children...
Matthew 11:25
Once a person has been educated (indoctrinated?) to understand a topic in a certain way, it can be very difficult for him to see it in any other, no matter how brilliant and sincere he might be otherwise. Sometimes an untrained, unsophisticated eye can see a truth that escapes the experts and the dogmatic non-experts.
Moses counted the Levites according to patriarchal clans like the rest of Israel, but only at the command of God. He had no authority to count them on his own.
A chiasm in Numbers 4:49 highlights the individual commissioning of every Levite.

We expect to find blatant anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment in places like progressive college campuses and radical Islamic countries, but what are we supposed to do when such sentiment pops up in a public school in rural North Carolina? That’s the question that opens this final part of our conversation with Bev Hall. She also has a heart for her Jewish and Christian family, so when there is misunderstanding, miscommunication, and fear that divides the two, she is eager to step in and heal the breach. In this podcast, we get to hear how she does that.
We should be asking why anti-Semitism today is rising to levels not seen since the 1930s. Is this new, or is it just the latest manifestation of the same spirit that has opposed God’s Covenant People of Israel since the days of the Patriarchs? That’s a good question to think about as we hear Barry Phillips and David Jones discuss “Passover Judgment.” It’s not just a Jewish issue; it’s a problem the whole world must address. That’s what we hear in the music of Teshuva and Solomon Lopez.

Bev Hall has a heart for guiding children in God’s truth. That’s what inspired her to become a teacher, and it’s what inspires her to continue teaching after retiring from professional education. These days, Bev not only teaches children on Shabbat and in Sunday church, but also shares what she knows about Torah and how she is blessed to keep it. This is part of the process of taking the Torah to the church. In this second part of our conversation, Bev shares how she does that, and the response she has received.
A major lesson of the Torah is the difference between the holy and the common. Another way to say that is the difference between clean and unclean. Our Holy God wants us to approach Him, but how can we do that if we’re stained by this fallen world? That’s what Barry Phillips and David Jones talk about in their midrash called, “Be Clean,” and what we hear in the music of Samuel & Benjamin Wearp and Gregory Brown.
