Deuteronomy 10:20: “You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him and cling to Him, and you shall swear by His name.” Since I began my Hebraic studies over forty years I was always convinced that there were different roles that men and women play, but I never, ever believed that it
James 2:23: “And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.” Isaiah 41:8: “But thou, Israel, [art] my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.” Seamstress: “You are going to
Psalms 103:13: “Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth them that fear him.” Some people are beginning to think that I am giving men a bad rap with my talk of women being a gateway, having a special knowledge of God and all that, so I figure that at
Psalms 95:8 “Harden not your heart as in the day of provocation (Meribah), and as in the day of temptation (Massah) in the wilderness.” There is a very interesting poetic device used in this Psalm.

Proverbs 21:21: “He that followeth after rigteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.” Last night as I was studying, I don’t know how late it was, but I suddenly heard fireworks go off. I thought, “My gosh, the Fourth of July is still three weeks away and they are setting off fireworks

Ezekiel 16:30: “How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious, whorish woman.” Am I missing something or did Ezekiel just call Judah a whore. There are three words in Hebrew for a whore or prostitute. None get rave reviews, but there appears
Leviticus 19:18: “Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I [am] the LORD.” John 13:34: “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” This commandment
Deuteronomy 3:24: “Oh, Lord God, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness.” This is truly an amazing statement to be made by Moses. The Book of Deuteronomy is really three sermons that Moses delivered to the people of Israel just before they entered the promised land. The first sermon rehashes the
Exodus 21:19: “If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote [him] be quit: only he shall pay [for] the loss of his time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.” Proverbs 17:22: “A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth
