Episode 27 — Things We Shouldn’t Mix, Part 2

What happens when one person knowingly takes something God has said to leave alone?

In Episode 27 of Tomorrow’s Truth Found Today, we continue our study, “Things We Shouldn’t Mix,” by looking at the account of Achan found in the book of Joshua.

Following Israel’s remarkable victory at Jericho, God had given specific instructions concerning what was—and was not—to be taken from the city. But one man, Achan, chose to disregard those instructions. He secretly took a Babylonian garment, silver, and gold and hid them among his possessions.

What may have seemed like a private act had consequences that reached far beyond Achan himself. Israel soon suffered a humiliating defeat at Ai, and Joshua was left asking God why.

In this episode, we examine Joshua chapters 6–8, the sin of Achan, Israel’s defeat at Ai, and the consequences that followed. More importantly, we consider what this history can teach us today about obedience, covetousness, repentance, our possessions, and the things we allow into our lives.

Are there things that appear innocent or harmless but, upon closer examination, conflict with God’s Word? And when we discover something in our lives that shouldn't be there, what are we willing to do about it?

Achan’s story reminds us that our choices don't always affect us alone—and that there are some things we should never mix with our walk and worship of God.

Scriptures discussed include: Joshua 6–8; Joshua 7:1–26; Genesis 17:7–8; Deuteronomy 1:8 and 9:4–5; Numbers 33:50–53; Isaiah 59:1–2; and 1 John 1:9.

I encourage you to open your Bible, examine these passages for yourself, and consider the lessons they hold for us today.

Until next time, always remember, my friends:

You are worth it.

May God richly bless and keep you.

In this episode of Tomorrow’s Truth Found Today, Mark examines a challenging question: Have we allowed pagan practices and traditions to become mixed with our worship of God?

Throughout Scripture, God repeatedly warns His people against idolatry, false worship, divination, and adopting practices that lead them away from Him. Yet as generations have passed, traditions and beliefs have become intertwined to the point that we may no longer stop and ask an important question: Is what we are doing actually pleasing to God?

In Part One of this discussion, Mark explores the biblical warnings against mixing pagan practices with the worship of God and considers how easily people can become desensitized to customs that have been accepted for generations.

The episode also examines astrology, divination, the occult, idolatry, obedience, repentance, and the importance of testing our traditions and actions against Scripture rather than simply accepting them because they have become commonplace.

Among the Scriptures discussed are Deuteronomy 4 and 12, Leviticus 20 and 26, Jeremiah 10:2–3, Isaiah 5:20, Matthew 7:15–20, Acts 7:42, 2 Thessalonians 2:11–12, Colossians 3:2–11, 2 Peter 3:9, and many others.

The purpose of this episode is to encourage each of us to examine our own lives, study God's Word, pray for understanding, and determine whether anything has found its way into our faith that simply doesn't belong there.

God offers us His love, forgiveness, guidance, and the promise of salvation, but He also calls us to faith, obedience, repentance, and endurance.

So the question is: Are we giving God pure worship, or have we created “The Wrong Mix”?

Listen, study the Scriptures for yourself, and decide.

This is Part One. In upcoming episodes, Mark will look at examples from Scripture and history that demonstrate what happened when people chose to mix pagan practices with the things of God.

And remember:

YOU ARE WORTH IT!

In Episode 25 of Tomorrow’s Truth Found Today, Mark returns with Part Two of “This Trick Is No Treat,” continuing his examination of Halloween, its historical roots, and what Scripture has to say about a Christian’s relationship with traditions connected to pagan practices.

In Part One, we explored some of the ancient beliefs and customs associated with Samhain and the Druids. In this episode, Mark continues that history, including how October 31 became known as All Hallows’ Eve and eventually Halloween.

But this episode goes beyond history.

Mark asks listeners to consider a more personal question: If we learn that a tradition has origins that conflict with our faith, how should we respond?

Through Scripture, including Ezekiel 33:11, Ephesians 6:14–18, and Genesis 19:26, Mark encourages Christians not simply to accept traditions because they are popular or considered harmless, but to study God’s Word, seek the truth, and have the courage to live according to their faith.
