Three different thoughts on humility have come to me over the past few days. The first encounter with this thought actually came Sunday morning via a tongues and interpretation moment in the service. Christ was calling out to His Bride, the Church, asking her to humble herself and come to Him. The second thought wasRead More…
The last discussion point brought up in Deuteronomy 7 is something I am terming “Dangerous Covetousness”. Deuteronomy 7:25-26 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is anRead More…
The second topic brought up just 9 verses later in Deuteronomy 7, is the promise God gave to Abraham when He first declared him a nation. If my reader remembers, back in Genesis God told Abraham that anyone who blesses him will be blessed and anyone who curses him would be cursed. Here in DeuteronomyRead More…
The thoughts birthed from this particular chapter ran so long, that I am going to give each of the three points, their own blog post. We begin in verse 6 of Deuteronomy Chapter 7: Deuteronomy 7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee toRead More…
As I read through the Bible again, one chapter per day, I now come to the book of Deuteronomy and when it comes to firsts, the fifth book of the Torah does not disappoint. Chapter four brings with it not one, not two, but three admonishments that we see sprinkled throughout Scripture and are moreRead More…

Blog posts such as: Genesis 22: Obedience Leads to Blessings: Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then ye shallRead More…
Subtitle: And From Where Do You Draw Your Peace? I wish to share two blog articles I wrote, roughly a year apart from each other. One addressed the Ebola scare in the fall of 2014, while the other one was looking down the pipe at world events, tell-tale signs of what we are now seeingRead More…
Numbers 18:20 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel. During a time when, as Israel was stumbling quite badly getting into the groove of all God had justRead More…
Not all firsts mentioned in the Torah were beneficial firsts. There was the first murder in Genesis, the first turning away to another god in Exodus, the first act of strange fire in Leviticus, and now the first act of openly railing against one of God’s anointed here in Numbers. Each of these unfortunate firstsRead More…
