JANUARY 6, 2023 Deuteronomy 4:39 Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that the Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

JANUARY 3, 2023 Deuteronomy 4:30 When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the latter days.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 Deuteronomy 4:24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. Yesterday, we addressed the fact that because we serve a jealous God, we mustn’t be tolerate of falsehoods and lies — that would be akin to turning to false gods.

DECEMBER 25, 2022 Deuteronomy 4:19 Take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which the Lord your God has given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage. Previously, we addressed the notion that heavenly […]
DECEMBER 27, 2022 Deuteronomy 4:20 But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be His people, an inheritance, as you are this day.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 Deuteronomy 4:24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
