Hey friends! Read Deuteronomy 26. “...so be careful to obey them wholeheartedly.” Deuteronomy 26:16
Moses has reminded Israel of God’s commands and now he is telling them, “Go and do it!”
There is a major difference between knowing and doing. We can know all the right things

Good morning! Let's read Deuteronomy 23 today! Who else read this and thought, “Cleanliness is next to godliness!”
You may ask, Why is this in here? It’s because God cares about the details that make up our lives. He wants to help us live in a way that is for our good.
…take in escaped slaves, allow them to live among you, and to not oppress them. Were you as surprised as me to not see a reference to how he brought them out of Egypt following these verses?
I want to invite you to be bold today: Ask God what detail of your own life does he
Time to read Deuteronomy chapter 22! From the start of this chapter, we get a deep sense of communal responsibility. It’s true, they were a communal culture, not as individualistic as we are today, and one of the reasons for that culture is because God gave commands like these.
limiting a community to one sexual partner (their spouse) keeps STIs at bay.
This is all echoed in the New Testament when Paul answers questions the early Church had about how they were to function. They were to love one another, showing the world how God loves us, by making…
