Devarim, the Hebrew name of Deuteronomy, means "words" and is from Deuteronomy 1:1: "These are the words..." This book used to be called Mishneh HaTorah or "repetition of the Torah". Deuteronomos, the Greek name, means "second law" and also refers to the book's recapitulation of the Law. Although it primarily contains the spoken words of Moses, Joshua or Phinehas may have acted as his scribe.

Psalm 127:3 — 4,”Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.” While these two verses are often used to describe how children are a gift from our Creator the next verse is the one that binds the family unit; “Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.”
Do you worship the LORD God? Then you are either calling on a false entity foreign to the Bible or you are calling on the True One by a false name.
The Bible tells you to worship YHWH Elohim. And that comes with commandments, and elaborate details on what worship He will accept.
What does the worship of the LORD God look like? - Eating perversions, celebration pagan holidays, shunning what the Bible says to do and shaming all who try to obey the Book.
What does the worship of YHWH Elohim look like? - Eating only what YHWH says is cleaning and avoiding what He calls abomination, celebrating His Sabbath and His holy days on the days and at the times He set, shunning all pagan tradition and perverse doctrine, while doing so from a pure heart of love for Him and our fellows.
We can pray to someone called LORD God, and sing songs to him. And raise up our hands and say Amen. We can go to church and put money in the collection plate. We can even be friendly and kind to others, but none of that is what the Bible calls acceptable worship.
If we are to embrace abominations and engage in evils and rename them grace then we are not doing biblically acceptable worship…
YHWH said that He wants to be acknowledged as holy by all who approach Him. That doesn’t involve us choosing what worship we can bring and when, where and how we would prefer. That doesn’t involve telling Him His Name doesn’t and shouldn’t matter to Him or to anyone of us.
And that does not allow us to adopt alternate terminology and contrary forms of righteousness when we come before Him or to throw Him out, insert into the Text some new entity with no requirements and decide we’ve made no difference.
Take caution in your tradition and terminology, and in your toleration for the familiar. Everything is worship of some kind and of some one…but is it the right kind and the right Someone?

Thought for Today: Sunday July 27
There is an old saying “All roads lead to Rome”. Perhaps it was true in the ancient world – but today you can get lost anywhere! The only sure way to reach your destination is to consult a good road map or ask someone who knows the way… Yeshua did not say “I am one of many ways to the Father” What He said is “I AM THE WAY” That was not arrogance, or narrow-mindedness, or a lack of compassion. It was truth – because only He, the Moshiach, came from heaven to pay the price for our sins. Follow the Moshiach and never be lost.
The Rosh Chodesh was seen across Israel tonight (7/26/2025) by two or more reliable witnesses, making tonight the beginning of the fifth Hebrew month.
As predicted in the Complete Believers Calendar, the scriptural fast of the 5th Hebrew month will occur on 8/24/2025.
May your month be a blessed and safe one, chaverim!
