A recent forum post asserted that Christ's commandments were different than those of the Torah. It had a list of what the poster felt were Christ's commandments. I took that list and found the concepts of what Christ was teaching from the Torah & Prophets. He didn't teach anything different. If he did, he would have been a false Messiah (Deut. 13)

WORD FOR TODAY “Are you offering up something that is unauthorized?”: Lev 10:1 But Nadav and Avihu, sons of Aharon, each took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense on it, and offered unauthorized fire before Adonai, something he had not ordered them to do. Lev 10:2 At this, fire came forth from the presence of Adonai and consumed them, so that they died in the presence of Adonai.
WISDOM FOR TODAY: Pro 5:1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding; Pro 5:2 so that you will preserve discretion and your lips keep watch over knowledge.
There will not be a new podcast published today, my confession is, I was distracted working on something else. But rest assured there will be a lot to talk about Thursday.
"God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel"
Ps 78
It's bedtime story time :) A new song :)
Bold as a Lion
By Dr Garth Grenache
and his Lighter Orchestra
2025:4:21
[Verse 1]
Thy servant kept his father’s sheep,
When lion came or bear did creep.
A lamb they seized, but I pursued,
And struck them down with strength imbued.
[Chorus]
Bold as a lion,
By the Lord’s might,
Clothed in His truth,
Armed for the fight.
[Verse 2]
The Satan prowls with cunning guise,
To snare the weak with whispered lies.
But those who kneel and rise in grace,
Will see him flee before their face.
[Chorus]
They’re bold as a lion,
By the Lord’s might,
Clothed in His truth,
Armed for the fight.
[Verse 3]
Submit to God; resist the foe—
The devil flees when faith does show.
Stand firm in truth, His Word your sword;
Anointed has your sweet reward.
[Chorus]
Be bold as a lion,
By the Lord’s might,
Clothed in His truth,
Armed for the fight.
Clothed in His truth,
Armed for the fight.
[Chorus]
Bold as a lion,
By the Lord’s might,
Clothed in His truth,
Armed for the fight.
[Chorus]
Bold as a lion,
By the Lord’s might,
Clothed in His truth,
Armed for the fight.
Thought for Today: Monday April 21
Be at peace and rest in YHVH’s Presence, allowing Him to take charge of today. Do not rush into the day like an athlete running the hundred-meter race. Instead, walk purposely with Him, allowing Him to direct your course one step at a time. Remember to thank Him for every situation along the way – this will give joy to you and Him. A grateful heart protects you from negative thinking. Thankfulness enables you to see the abundance He gives you daily. To give thanks in all situations, is His will for you.
