Deuteronomy 15 - Giving

What we have is not our own, but the Lord's who has given to us. Therefore, we are to give what we have to others who are in need. We are just mere ambassadors of God's properties: be it money, house, car, our life, love, family, care, mercy, and even grace.

Deuteronomy 13 - Case Laws

1) Prophets who prophesies fulfilled signs and wonders, even if they claim to be from the Lord, but speaks a false teaching, not spoken in God's Word.....is definitely not from God and we be not listening to them.

2) Family, relatives, and friends who are as your own soul leading you to do what is not pleasing to God......is punishable by God and we not yield to them.

3) Certain worthless fellows drawing away people from God......they are accountable to God's wrath but we are to inquire and search and ask diligently if the "news" is true or certain or if just a rumor.

Reflection on Deuteronomy & Thanksgiving for Dec7'13

Deuteronomy is an account re-announcing what God had done to Israel since He brought them out of Egypt, and in the wilderness, He's preparing them for His promise for a Land flowing of Milk & Honey.

Reflection: It's Christmas. It's the end of the year. Time to look back and remember what God has done, His faithfulness, His holiness, His reigning AUTHORity, and what we did, our good & our bad, our need for a Savior. And a reminder of Christ's coming just as the OT people looking forward to the coming Messiah.

Thanksgiving:

1. Working w/ fellow Christians from other churches and different ministries.
2. Spiritual family. Found in the WWW (Whole Wide World). Though not present in the flesh, but present in spirit with one goal & one desire: To glorify the One True God. Supplementing one another with love cos God first Loved us.
