Jesus is Better

The revelation of Jesus' incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection changes everything for us! As we reflect on Deuteronomy, we see how Yahweh was preparing a greater inheritance for His people through the work of Jesus and the sending of the Spirit! May our hearts rest in the secret things that belong to the Father—and know we will be overwhelmed at the time of His grand reveal. 🙏 #JesusIsBetter #SpiritualJourney

Don't Miss It

In our quest for blessings, are we asking God to support our choices, even when they may not align with His desires?

Spiritual blindness can creep in when we see God's works but miss who He truly is.

Let's remember that true blessing comes from living within His design and trusting Him fully. 

Ignoring the Warning

Those who love the blessings of God more than the God of the blessings will eventually transfer their joy from Someone to something. We must fight for our joy in Jesus by valuing His presence over His presents.

Elder Ordination

Elders must be humble teachers and courageous leaders because the call to lead the people of God is a call to willingly sacrifice, faithfully shepherd, and humbly serve the people of God—following the example set by Jesus.

The Choice is Yours

On the mountain of cursing sat a copy of the Law that placed God’s people under His judgment and an altar that provided the means for God’s mercy to fall over His people. 

How the Cross Changed the Law

New Testament believers are free from the covenant made at Sinai—and bound to the covenant made at Calvary.

Jesus in 3D

It is important to not only read the Bible as God instructed—but also to read the Bible as God intended.

The Sweet Law of God

Through the giving of His law, Yahweh is doing more than just restricting the actions of His people. He is revealing His character, pointing to the Messiah, and ensuring His people never forget who they were and where they came from.

Two Testaments, One God

Some understand the Old Testament to portray a power-hungry God who seeks to control His people with multiple rules, laws, and regulations—while the New Testament portrays a merciful, gracious God who doesn't care how we live as long as we believe Jesus died on the Cross. Both are incorrect views of God.

We have one God—whose mercy and love are clearly portrayed through the good news He promised His people in both Testaments. 

Taking the Name in Vain

The third command is “Do not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain.”

Somehow that command has been reduced to the prohibition of saying, “God d—n” or “Jesus Christ” when one is upset or unhappy.

But if the name of God is Yahweh, if the Hebrew word for God is Elohim, and if the name Jesus would not be given for thousands of years—could that really be the intention of Yahweh by this third command?

What does it really mean to take the name of God in vain?
