Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Follow Him.

We are here today with Ross Barron this year in Old Testament.

They have added these lessons called Things to Keep in mind.

We had Ross before talking about background of reading the

Old Testament today. We're going to talk about the covenant. Hank, when you think of the covenant,

and I know you do, what do you think of? I'll teach this in my classes to my college students.

Sometimes, you know, students complain, when am I ever going to use this?

I'm like, well, I guess if you don't want to know why you came to earth, you just don't need to know.

When am I ever going to use this?

Every day, every day you're going to use this.

It's going to impact every decision that you make, every important decision you make, this covenant is that crucial. Yeah, it's who you are. It's part of who you are.

And if our audience wants to learn more about it from a really dynamic guy, I saw this video

at the Ensign College. He did a whole devotional about this. What would you do, Hank?

Go to ensign.edu, nsigncollege.edu. I think the easiest is if you go to YouTube, go to

Ensign College devotionals, Hank Smith. This was the main point of what I wanted to do that day.

Thanks for bringing it up, John. It was superb. I need to watch it again

and again because you had a ton of information in there. Some really nice little rememberable

sentences about the covenant. Over the years, it's getting better. We're talking about it a little bit

more. We brought, and our audience is acquainted with Dr. Ross Barron, who was at BYU,

Idaho. He's down at BYU, Ypres now. He is a professor of ancient scripture. Ross, when you

think of the covenant, I mean, you gave us such a great overview for reading the Old Testament.

Give us a few sentences about what covenant are we talking about? What are we doing?
