Give Generously

Deuteronomy 15:10 Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. 11 There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow IsraelitesContinue reading “Give Generously”

Debts Canceled

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live debt free! As someone who does, it is! But debt free living comes at a cost. Debt free isn’t free. It happened for Israel in seven year cycles. The history of Israel’s lending policies is beautiful. They come into the Promised Land with no debt. They are givenContinue reading “Debts Canceled”

Singular

Deuteronomy 13:1 If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them,” 3 you must not listenContinue reading “Singular”

Lent

With the Lenten season starting today, I would like to propose a different way of thinking about it. So often we have heard that Lent involves giving up something in order to get closer to the LORD, say ‘no’ to our own desires and ‘yes’ to His. We simplify our lives in order toContinue reading “Lent”

There To Be Found

Deuteronomy 4:29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul. I have ADHD! I forget things all the time. I am working on a project, realize I need something to complete the project, go to getContinue reading “There To Be Found”

Not Endless, Only!

Deuteronomy 4:2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you. I hate it when playing a game and the rules change right when I am about to get ahead. I think this is a universalContinue reading “Not Endless, Only!”

What Does God Look Like?

Deuteronomy 4:15 You saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully, We often hear children ask, “What does God look like?” Even some adults ask this same question. It is a natural question asked from a very human perspective.Continue reading “What Does God Look Like?”

Uncomfortable Truth

Number 35:34 Do not defile the land where you live and where I dwell, for I, the LORD, dwell among the Israelites. One of the uncomfortable truths about the Christian faith is that we believe that the LORD lives among us. He is not distant, having started the project, given it the ability toContinue reading “Uncomfortable Truth”

Infectious Diseases

Numbers 31:2 “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.” In our day and age of antibiotics and modern medicine there are still natural forces that people can’t control. Locust flights across fast areas of the African continent and a virus that has put tensContinue reading “Infectious Diseases”
