Good Morning “Not Perfect But Blessed.”  Today we are in Deuteronomy 33.  We’ve talked about Deuteronomy being the book of Grace.  Moses retells Israel’s story throughout Deuteronomy but chooses to focus more heavily on Gods grace and mercy as opposed to His punishment.Here, despite his knowing that Israel would rebel, be disobedient and continue turn from God repeatedly… he chooses to speak bless...  Read More

He is Risen!!!!Good Morning “Jealous God Followers.”  Today we are in Deuteronomy 32.  I often get asked how God can be sinless and yet be jealous.  The confusion comes typically from several paramount passages.  Paul includes jealousy in his list of sinful acts.  “The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealo...  Read More

Good Morning “Acknowledgers That It’s ALL God.”  Today we are in Deuteronomy 31.Moses has to step down.  It’s time.  His successor Joshua will lead them into the “Promised Land”.  Stop and consider what must be going through Joshua’s mind.  Moses has been the only leader they have known… now it’s time for Joshua to step up.  How would you react?  We can assume what must have been going through Jos...  Read More

Good Morning “Life Choosers”.  Today we are in Deuteronomy 30.In this chapter God kinda summarizes what He’s been reminding Israel of.  Basically they have a choice to make.  Only two options - Life or Death.  “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live a...  Read More

Good Morning “Seekers of The Lords Understanding and Wisdom.”  Today we are in Deuteronomy 29.  As we’ve studied Israel, their wandering and continued rebellion have you ever wondered why they had such short memories?  Have you shook your head at the fact that God could demonstrate His faithfulness in such mighty ways, and almost overnight they return to their rebellion?  Think of the 10 plagues i...  Read More

Good Morning “Receivers of Peace In Every Situation.”  Today we are in Deuteronomy 28.  God sought to establish Israel as a great nation.  As His chosen people, His wrath when they were disobedient was swift.  He also promised them prosperity when they were obedient.  Gods heart and character are the same.  He is the unchangeable - immutable.  However; that does not mean that all the promises give...  Read More

Good Morning “Remembering Gods Holiness.”  Today we are in Deuteronomy 27.As we read through Deuteronomy it seems we cannot get enough reminders that Gods Holiness, His Righteousness - demands a reckoning.  Next chapter we will look also at Gods promised blessing in their obedience.  What are we to glean from this chapter then?  I think if there is anything we can apply from the continued reminder...  Read More

Good Morning “Thankful, Obedient, Sharers”.  Today we are in Deuteronomy 26.I think I can, I think I can, I think I can… remember the story of “The Little Train That Could”.  Now I don’t want to get all “Self Talk” on you.  I wouldn’t preach “Believing in yourself,” but I would preach believe in the One who is in you!  Giving God praise is the process of recognizing and acknowledging who He is and...  Read More

Good Morning “Recipients of Mercy and Grace.”  Today we are in Deuteronomy 25.  Today’s chapter gives clear example of 3 principle actions we should be aware of.  Gods justice, mercy and grace.  Let’s be clear on the meanings of these words.  Justice is the warranted execution of the law. It respects no person and is purely an advocate of the law’s standard. When an alleged infraction arises, Just...  Read More

Good Morning “Obeyers of All that God Has Commanded.”  Today we are in Deuteronomy 24.Within the nation of Israel the Levite Priests served as both Religious Leaders and the government / judges of the people.  Moses as Gods Servant / Prophet - Spokesperson was the immediate carrier of His Word to the nation.  As we read this chapter containing more Law reminders, one passage sticks out.  ”… be ver...  Read More

Good Morning “Knowing God Cares About Every Detail.”  Today we are in Deuteronomy 23.  Recently,  regarding The Law, I’ve made mention that God leaves no stone unturned.  This chapter makes that abundantly clear.  Truly God is interested in EVERY aspect of our lives and charges us to be “Above board” - Holy in every way.  Even where you go dooty, and how you should do it is addressed.  When you go...  Read More

Good Morning “Socially / Relationally Responsible.”  Today we are in Deuteronomy 22.Be a good neighbor… pretty simple.  God actually gave the nation of Israel laws regarding what to do when they discovered a neighbor’s stray animal, or an animal in distress.  We saw the same back in Exodus 32.  Here He expands it to other articles of our neighbors property as well.  Why would God have to give the ...  Read More
