“I Am the LORD”
Reading today from Leviticus and chapters 19 through 20. ...Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

A Matter of Interest
From the scheduled reading for Monday, February 27, 2023 - Deuteronomy 21 - 23...

When GOD Says It; It Will Be Done
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to …
Who Is the Authority?
"And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, 'Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation.' And they three came out.

Words of Life and Death
"The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. He that answereth a matter before he heareth …
Not an Enemy
"For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. And if any …
The Way of the Foolish
"Why should I fear in the days of evil, When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me? Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the multitude of their riches, None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him— For the redemption of their souls …
The Good Brother and Neighbor
“You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep going astray, and hide yourself from them; you shall certainly bring them back to your brother. And if your brother is not near you, or if you do not know him, then you shall bring it to your own house, and it shall remain with …
Offended by Jesus
In the United States of America people are easily offended. I will probably offend someone with this post today; but that is on your shoulders, not mine. We have a Constitutional right of Free Speech. That right, however, does not mean that we can say hurtful, evil, things that will cause harm to others. It …
Execution
Now, before anyone goes ballistic on me concerning the title the word is a good word. In this case it means to vindicate or punish, but justly get it done. From the prophet Zechariah we read a prophecy he is telling the people of the message of the other prophets without the text of it. …
The Livestock
Today's Reading: Deuteronomy 19 - 22 "Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother. And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto …
062811 But them that are without God judgeth.
"I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that …
