Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
1,571 episodes - English - Latest episode: 22 days ago -Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’

I’m giving you rainbows S1e59 Gen9:8
June 22, 2024 08:00 - 8 minutes - 5.54 MBSend us a Text Message. We can know what God is thinking at a particular moment in time when we see a particular sign: THE RAINBOW. He tells us that when He puts His bow in the clouds, HE SEES IT and REMEMBERS His covenant with mankind. This rainbow remembering covenant is one of divine restraint and also one of divine blessing. First, He is holding back righteous judgment. Second He is offering diving rescue and relationship. Let's remember Him, remembering us, when we see His RAINBOW...

I hope you love this earth S1e56 Gen8:13
June 19, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.45 MBSend us a Text Message. Nobody was happier to get off the ARK, after some 370 days, than NOAH. Just imagine the smell of living in close quarters with literally every single animal left on the planet. God gives Noah a renewed earth to live with Him. My guess is that Noah was thrilled. I hope you too like the earth, because for believers, it will be our renewed home for eternity. We get to live back on the renewed earth with God Himself, just like Noah.

DELIBERATELY OVERLOOKING the Flood S1e53 2Peter3:1
June 16, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.04 MBSend us a Text Message. Peter prophesied that after his time, people will DELIBERATELY OVERLOOK the flood. To deny the PAST helps to rationalize our denial of the FUTURE. If one says there is no previous judgment, it lends itself toward there being no future judgment. This then means I can do what I want. If you deny the flood, you then get sloppy on judgment, creation, the Creator, and the cost of the rescue. Don't DELIBERATELY OVERLOOK, but deliberately LOOK TO the flood. Join me tomo...
Sometimes, God Closes a DOOR Gen7:6 s1e52
June 15, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.09 MBSend us a Text Message. The safety of the rescue operation to save humanity from the flood involved 100 years of construction and God who CLOSED A DOOR. In my view, it is not remarkable that those who deserved destruction got destruction by a just God. What IS is remarkable is that some, who deserved destruction DID NOT GET destruction by a just God. The remarkable event is that there is grace, there is mercy and that God preserves some. Bewithme.us and Apple Podcasts to subscribe. htt...

Today is the day to make your faith REAL. Join me for 7 minutes as we watch NOAH do this after 100 years of preparation. Perhaps your day today is one of preparation, or perh...
No ark = no cross S1e50 Gen6:14
June 13, 2024 04:00 - 7 minutes - 5.05 MBSend us a Text Message. All of human history depends upon the ARK Our "Meta" thoughts about the ARK are only possible because of the real MEGA ark Think about the ark, for without it, you wouldn’t be thinking now It is the "most important object in history"*, for without it, there is no cross This ARK is the first step to the cross The work of the Cross was possible because of the work of the ARK Without the history of the ARK you are not even in history!

Why is there a boat? S1e47 Gen 6:8
June 10, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 4.9 MBSend us a Text Message. If every intent of man's heart is "only ever evil", then the flood make perfect sense. What doesn't make sense is, "WHY IS THERE A BOAT?" Why does God save any? Why is there a rescue? You come from ADAM and EVE. So you’d know about your sin. You come from NOAH. So you ‘d know about HIS RESCUE. Yes, you come from a sinful people. But yes, you come from a RESCUED people. Get on the rescue boat today. bewithme.us apple podcast
every intent only ever evil Gen 6:5 s1e46
June 09, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 4.92 MBSend us a Text Message. Without understanding this single concept, the rest of the Bible will make no sense. It must be understood that, unfortunately, man is not good. Scripture lays it out plainly about the heart of man. His every intent is only ever evil. Yikes. It is why there is death, strife, conflict, violence and misunderstanding. It is the reason God begins a rescue operation that starts with NOAH, and a BOAT and ends with a CROSS and a COMING BACK. Before we get to all that tho...

Even Methuselah died S1e44 Gen5:25
June 07, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 4.98 MBSend us a Text Message. The point is NOT that Methuselah lived 969 years, as impressive as this is. He sets the world record for longevity. The main point is what follows the comma, "...and he died." So just like the rest of us, Methuselah dies. Then what? Well, similar to us, judgement. Life is short, so let's do it right.

Enoch walked with God S1e43 Gen 5:18
June 06, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 4.97 MBSend us a Text Message. The God of the Bible has gone to repeated lengths for us to know about a man named ENOCH. He lived 365 years and walked with God for 300 of them. Then, he was taken. He was no more as far as those on earth could see. He did NOT pass through death, like the rest of humanity.

The geneology is the POINT S1e42 Gen 5:1
June 05, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.15 MBSend us a Text Message. In the Bible, a genealogy should not be a DISTRACTION, they should be the POINT. It is here we see that we have a personal, attentive, interactive, and faithful God. Today we will recount a very unique period of time. Everybody lived around 900 years so there were lots of overlapping generations. There certainly was a growing evil upon the earth, yet, there was a faithful remnant culminating in NOAH. If you feel like you are the only one out there trying to live a...
Inventing Worship S1e41 Gen 4:26
June 04, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.04 MBSend us a Text Message. Scholars say that Enosh INVENTS or at least POINEERS WORSHIP in Genesis. It is a verbal, public, directed and desperate response to the presence of a holy, good God. He decides to treat God in a certain way. Stay with me here, but Enoch's "invention" of worship does you and me NO earthly good unless we too decide to treat God in the same way. Everybody gets to decide if that "invention" is going to be used on our little acre. The question is not what will Enosh do,...
Eve Saves the world S1e40 Gen3:25
June 03, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.31 MBSend us a Text Message. Eve saves the world in today's passage. To save the world you gotta build a boat. To build a boat you're gonna need a boat-builder. (Noah) To get to the boat-builder, you gotta go through SETH. To get to Seth, you're gonna need a faithful EVE. Here's the tricky part: This process takes 1525 YEARS! 8 generations stand between EVE's faithful response and NOAH'S heroics. No Eve, no Noah. No Seth, no Noah. No Noah, no rescue. In this sense, EVE SAVES THE WORLD. Bewi...
Polygamy = Pornography S1e39 Pr5:15
June 02, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.32 MBSend us a Text Message. God designed the marriage bed to have just two people in it: a husband and a wife. Polygamy is very similar to modern day porn in that OTHER people are allowed into the marriage bed. That is, the borders of marriage become porous. In a sense, both polygamy and pornography STEAL someone else's wife or future wife. They both take the "presence" and "sexual availability" of someone who is not your spouse and use them as if they are your spouse. In that way, polygamy =...

I LOVE my MURDER s1e37 Gen4:19
May 31, 2024 08:00 - 6 minutes - 4.73 MBSend us a Text Message. In the 7th generation on earth, there is yet ANOTHER murder. Lamech kills a young man for wounding him. It is a disproportional response. He then BRAGS about it to his family. He is PROUD of it. We can build our cities, build our family and build our relationships with our without God. If we do it wrong, at least let's have the decency to not be PROUD of it. Let's listen to the "voice of Lamech" and NOT be like him. Let us NOT love our murder. bewithme.us App...
Spiritual Geography s1e36 Gen4:16
May 30, 2024 08:00 - 6 minutes - 4.24 MBSend us a Text Message. Our bad example of Cain has many chances to do things right. He can either move AWAY from the presence of the Lord or move TOWARD the presence of the Lord. It is helpful to think of this GEOGRAPHICALLY. At every turn he makes bad decisions and separates himself from the closeness God offers. Similarly, even today we will have chances to move AWAY or TOWARD the presence of God. Let's commit to move TOWARD Him in the way we THINK, the way we FEEL and the what we DO. ...
East Of Eden s1e35 Gen4:11
May 29, 2024 08:00 - 6 minutes - 4.78 MBSend us a Text Message. Cain ends up in the worst place in the world: AWAY from the PRESENCE of the LORD. Sadly, he had the choice to move TOWARD the presence of God, but decided against it. He still complained about the result, but he was not willing to make the changes necessary to move toward the presence of God. He stands as a shining example of what not to do. Let's resolve to live in the "land of God" with the people of God. Let's not end up in NOD, away from the PRESENCE OF THE L...

May 28, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.15 MBSend us a Text Message. We will take our little lesson from a murderer today. Cain is the worst example, but he asks a great question: Am I my brother's keeper? First, should I even NOTICE my sisters? Second, should I be accountable to KEEP them, protect them, guard and preserve them? The answer here is YES. Of note, you cannot KEEP what you do not WATCH. Let's NOTICE first. It shouldn't be hard, Adam's descendants are all around us. Then, let's act to help them a bit today. bewithme.us ...

Sin’s Early Warning Alarm S1e33 Gen4:8
May 26, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 4.92 MBSend us a Text Message. Cain murders his brother. He does so with evil intent, thoughtful consideration, and violent means. We were hoping that the evil of "The Fall" in Genesis Chapter 3 would be enough for the rest of eternity. Apparently this is something we all get to deal with until we get to heaven. Unlike most of our encounters with such evil, Cain gets a "heads up" warning from God. Sin is CROUCHING, get ready! Cain ignores the warning. His deeds were evil, and in comparison to hi...

Conceiving LIFE and SIN S1e31 Gen 4:1
May 24, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.27 MBSend us a Text Message. For some, conception, child bearing and childrearing is the closest they will come to the Divine in their entire lives. Why is that? Because God is in it. He invented sexual intimacy and the miracle of conception. He is a big fan. He gives this great gift to husbands and wives. Today, Eve becomes the "mother of LIFE". She is not alone. She cannot do it alone. It requires her husband and especially: THE HELP OF THE LORD. Anyone who has been near this process know...
When did God KNOW? S1e30 Gen3

He knew He had been betrayed; that His character had been questioned. He already knew that The Son would be on the menu of sacrifice. He knew that a rescue operation of thousands of years had already begun. He knew that the serpents head would be crushed. He knew Armageddon would be won in a single sentence. He knew in that Garden in Eden that there would be another Garden, the Garden of Gethse...

May 22, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.06 MBSend us a Text Message. Lots in Genesis Chapter 3, just after the FALL, points to HEAVEN and the way Jesus gets us there. First, we get more family. From this living family comes Seth first and then Jesus eventually. Second, we get second skins. The contributor of those skins gave its' life for the temporary, incomplete protection of Adam and Eve. It shed its' blood for them. Similarly, and permanently and PRECIOUSLY, Christ shed His blood to offer for us. Thirdly, you can see some FAIT...

Adam should have been screaming! s1e27 Gen3:17
May 20, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.19 MBSend us a Text Message. Why was Adam cursed? Can he blame it on Eve? Well, she is "blame-adjacent", but she is not the essential culprit. Adam is cursed because of Adam's sin. And what was that sin? he LISTENED wrongly; non-discerningly to the voice of Eve. He failed to remember and compare her words with DIRECT words from God Himself. This calls into question the goodness of the commands and therefore, the very character of God he ATE. In so doing he agrees, he acquiesces, and is AGENT ...

May 17, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.19 MBSend us a Text Message. God asks fantastic questions of Adam and Eve to get to the heart of their rebellion.

But, SOMEBODY does not know the answer to the question. It’s always the people. He asks Adam and Eve 4 withering questions in the follow up to their disobedience: 1. Where were you? Why weren’t you in the place that benefitted you? 2. Who told you that? What voice did you listen to? 3. Have you broken my command? I have lines that one should never ever ever cross. 4.

He is a "murderer from the beginning." Well, Eden is the beginning. Adam was there. Adam was silent. Adam allowed his beloved to be beguiled by a serial killer.

Saddest paragraph in the bible s1e19 Gen3:1
May 12, 2024 08:00 - 7 minutes - 5.43 MBSend us a Text Message. Of all the paragraphs in the Bible, this one might be the saddest. God has allowed choice in His Eden garden, even the choice for rebelling against Him. He has allowed Eve and Adam to surf with the serpent. This results in asking some accusing questions of God and even denying His clear truths. The serpent's arguments are: He didn't really say that He said it, but He didn't really MEAN it. Underlying it all is the pride of accusatorially questioning God, when G...

There the CHARACTER of God is questioned. The tree is never again heard from...or is it? We bristle at the same battle line. We scream or whisper to God: "I don't like borders. I'll make my own.
