Shabbat shalom! Thank you for joining us this whole wonderful week!

For whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout, “Violence and destruction!” For the word of YHWH has become for me a reproach and derision all day long.
Jeremiah 20:8

The words deeds of the righteous should feel like violent blows to the wicked conscience. Don't be surprised when they react poorly when they see you following and hear you speaking God's commands.

My life just got better. I have to confess, I'm a height-enabled-American. I come in at a towering 6'1". And today, after decades of stooping, dropping a knee, and even having to sit cross-legged on the floor, we got a refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom as a drawer. I can now see all the food in the fridge at while standing erect! Praise Yahweh!

We'd love to have you join us for service tomorrow morning at 11 AM CT. (See comments for link.)

Our worship team will lead us into the throne room with powerful music and Pastor Daniel will share biblical truth about "The Ten Commandments" (Part 19).

Moreover, I will give all the wealth of the city, all its gains, all its prized belongings, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them and seize them and carry them to Babylon.
Jeremiah 20:5

Everything we have was loaned to us by God. Why shouldn't He give it to another if we abuse it? How many nations have come and gone in history? We're not special in that respect.

It’s Prep day! Happy prepping for Shabbat!

You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:9

The Hebrew word for gate in this verse is sha'ar, which is the same as a word for "to split open, reason out, calculate." The gates were places for breaking things down and reasoning things out. The implication is that we are to meditate on God's Law in all circumstances: at home and in our places of business, in our private lives, and in our courts and halls of government.
