Deut 18:14-19:13
God loves us so much and wants to protect us from the deceptions of the world, even many in the Christian world, who are not really believers in what God says at all. If they truly believed they would do, or at least have the desire to do the instructions that God gives and...
This is a good teaching. I highly recommend checking out their other teachings as well.

Deut 18:6-13
There are many activities that God told us to not partake of. These things are dangerous to us spiritually. They will deceive, they will cause us to think that all is well between us and God when all is not well. These were not just things that God told Israel to not be part of...
Deut 18:1-5
The Levites were specially called out to be servants of God and His people. All things of service to God and His people was their responsibility. They were given cities to live in, but no land was given to a Levite as an inheritance. Their food came from the tithe that the people...
Deut 17:14-20
Todays portion is regarding the choosing of a king. As long as the people followed Adonai's instructions, everything ran smoothly, they did not need a king. God did not want them to have a king, However, as people do, they would start to look at all the other nations and see...
Deut 16:18-17:1
The first part of todays portion is how to choose judges and officers to rule over the people. They were told to choose fair men. These men were to not play favorites or take bribes to rule in favor of one party over another. In their attempt to be good and fair at all times...
Deut 15:19-16:17
God certainly enjoys gathering His people together to celebrate. Every year they were told to remember how God had delivered them from Egypt and to come together and bring their best to celebrate their thankfulness. Three times a year starting with Passover, then Shavuot...
Deut 15:1-18
When the Israelites entered the new land that God was giving them, they were given instructions on bringing the tithe and offerings every year to the Temple. At the end of every seven years things were handled a bit differently. If someone owed them a debt they were to cancel it...
Deut 14:22-29
God takes care of the poor and He does it through those who are not poor. Charity is an important part of who God calls us to be. According to one commentary I was reading it said, "The purpose of the poor tithe was to teach the salutary doctrine that man's possessions are only...
Deut 14:1-21
Adonai calls His people a "peculiar" people. He calls us to be set apart, to be distinctive in our nature or character from others. The Israelites, with all their foods they did not eat and activities they did not (at least those who were walking with God in obedience) partake of...
I'll let you read todays portion on your own, but I would like to focus on the part that talks about if a Prophet or someone explains dreams comes to you and they tell you something that comes true then asks you to follow them after some other god that you do not know"
I think there is a lot...
Deut 12:11-28
I am editing a lot of what I originally wrote here because I'm unhappy with it. :)
Regarding some of the punishments afforded to those who broke God's instructions we really do not see those punishments actually taking place in scripture because there were so many other rules...
ut 11:26 - 12:10 ERV
For todays portion of scripture I have linked to the Easy Reading Version. I wanted to make sure that no one got lost in the way things were said. It just made more sense to me in simplifying it. :)
The Israelites are preparing to enter the land that God has promised...
Deuteronomy 11:22-25 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
So in todays portion we see Moses reiterating what He's told the Israelites over the last few chapters. "If you love Adonai your God, walk in His ways, and cling to Him, then Adonai will cause all your adversaries to run away from you.
Century's...
Deut 11:10-21
In today's Torah portion God is continuing on with His instructions for a happy, and prosperous life to Israel. The land they are going to possess is not like the land of Egypt that was dry and it did not rain regularly. In order to water the crops in Egypt, they had to use a...
In today's Torah portion God is talking to the children of Israel and telling them what He wants. He wants them to love Him and to respect Him. He tells them they need to keep all the instructions that He gave them, why? Because keeping them will bring blessings to them, a good and prosperous...
One of the awesome things about what happens in us when we have put our faith and trust in Yeshua is that EVERYTHING within us becomes new. 2 Cor 5:17 says " 17 Therefore if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." And...
As you can probably tell, I consider learning what God is trying to do in us as a very important subject. It is a matter of life and death. Maybe not death as far as your salvation goes but death in your growth and maturity as a believer in Yeshua. I see so many floundering believers, not...
Well, I'm feeling better today than I was yesterday. I just needed to rant a bit. I aware that I don't always say things as perfectly as I'd like to but I'm working on it. When I said that to someone who jumped all over me for saying somthing in a way that made him think something else, he...
I know it's not new news but it's really sad that there is such an increase in the decrease of solid understanding of scripture. I've recently learned that there are people who call themselves "believers" who think that the Ten Commandments are obselete. :sigh:
I know that people see my...
