Today Counts: The Humans Who Almost Reached Heaven?


Episode 156: The Tower of Babel, Spirit of Babylon, & Human Innovation

(Genesis 11:1-9 Study)

In this episode of The Today Counts Show, we continue a collection of conversations on the book of Genesis. Jim talks with Gary Harpst and Winston Harris about the opening 9 verses of Genesis 11.

We see God's people disobey his command to fill the earth and they attempt to build a tower to get to heaven. Jim, Gary, and Winston explore the realities of human innovation, God's response to disobedience, and how the spirit of disobedience has manifested itself through generations.

Tune in for a profound exploration of biblical wisdom and spiritual growth!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

I have a difficult relationship with love. Love comes with pain. That’s the reality of mixing God’s blessings with humankind’s heart, behaviors, and weaknesses. But if I can avoid pain only if I step out of love, I will not. I will love till the day I die even though it can hurt so bad.
