Deuteronomy 7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Deuteronomy is known as the 'Book of Obedience.' Delivered to and written by Moses, it outlines principles for a blessed life. What classifies as an abomination? An abomination is morally disgusting, such as pornography, but more importantly, something that God hates. Certai

Numbers 9:8 And Moses said unto them, stand still, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you. Have you ever gotten yourself into a situation and you don't know what to do? Moses learned this approach, stand still and listen to what God has to say about it. It can be challenging to stand still when all the world's stresses are hitting you at the same time. Every customer wants the same product now, and you can't seem to deliver. Take a moment and ask God how to

Isaiah 64: 8 But now, oh Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Christians tend to be skittish when it comes to this verse, and probably for good reasons. To be molded hurts; it's an arduous process. The process starts with softening the clay, and you are the clay, and God is the potter. But let's look at this process from Jesus's eyes. For most of us, Jesus has pursued us, planned and organized your entire life,

ISAIAH 54: 5 For thy Maker is thine Husband; the Lord of Hosts is His name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall He be called. This verse is referring to the return of the exiles out of Babylon back to Israel. However, it’s a powerful description of the character and identity of God. When everything in the world seems to be coming after you, as a Christian, this verse is one you can use in prayer, a reminder to yourself who God is and who

Mathew 4:4 But He answered and said, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” The Great Temptation of Christ by Satan himself, and it was his best effort to defeat Jesus. At this moment in history, Jesus has now fasted for forty days and forty nights in the wilderness, and He was starving. Satan said, “If you be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.” This verse is one of the most perple

Luke 11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. Jesus only spoke what he heard the Father say, and why would our Father say it like this? Couldn’t he just as quickly have said, ‘But I with the power of God cast out devils?’ It’s comforting to know that Jesus used His words so carefully. Why did He choose the word finger instead of power? The word ‘finger’ comes from the Greek word ‘daktulos’, which means finger, simple

Psalm 12: 6 The words of the Lord are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever. I wish I could keep my word as good as God keeps His. If you want a standard to look up to, look no farther than the Bible. God has preserved his written word for more than 3500 years, with the book of Job being the oldest. In the 1940s, people were beginning to say that the Bible wa
