The Invitation...
I see this parable as the invitation that God originally gave to Israel, the first-fruit and chosen people, for salvation. They received His message, but then made excuses and turned away from the Living…

400 Years of Bondage

Deutoronomy 15:10 - Blessed to be a Blessing
Its amazing the difference between the world and the kingdom of God. The world says, "Get everything you can and hold it for yourself," God says, "Get everything you have and give it away." God blesses…

Deutoronomy 11:26-28 - The obvious choice?
Given the option between a blessing or a curse, I'm pretty sure almost 100% of us would want the blessing. But do we really live our lives that way? God's Word is still true, and we still have that same…

Deuteronomy 10:20 - Cling...
I love how the NASB uses the word "cling" in this verse: "You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him and CLING to Him..." It paints an amazing picture in my mind of a young child grabbing and…

Deuteronomy 10:16 - Its about the Attitude
The sons of Abraham made a covenant with God to have a physical circumcision, but the implications of this were much more than just a physical act. The Israelites lost that part and just did the "ritual"…
