Modern day followers of Jesus Christ boldly declare they are not under the Law but are under grace. They are quick to proclaim that their God no longer requires a circumcision in the flesh, only a circumcision of the heart. Although they are unable to clarify what that actually means, they are equally ignorant of the fact that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, also required a circumcision of the heart from those who were partakers of the Covenant with Abraham, the father of our faith.

False Prophets and Wicked Men
May 23, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • Deuteronomy 13
False prophets and wicked men were of concern amongst the Israelites in the days of Moses and beyond. YeHoVaH provides strict Instructions on how to identify these individuals and what must be done to them once they are identified. The Instructions given were not only for that day, but for when they came into the land, and also for this day. Failure to comply with YeHoVaH’s Instructions could lead to the devastation of lives and leave a lasting impact on families for years to come.
The House of God
May 16, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • Deuteronomy 12
When YeHoVaH spoke His initial Words to the Children of Israel, He made it clear they were “not to have any gods before Him and not to make unto themselves graven images, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth”. YeHoVaH commanded Moses to instruct Israel to make sure when they entered the Land, they were to destroy all images, stones, and high places of worship. There was to be only one place of worship in the Land and that would be where YeHoVaH would place His Name.
Blessings or Curses?
May 9, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • Deuteronomy 11
YeHoVaH’s promise to Abraham was on the verge of being completed as Israel was being prepared by Moses to enter and take possession of the Promised Land. YeHoVaH’s plan from day one was to bless Israel as they came out of Egypt laden with jewels of silver and gold to go into a land flowing with milk and honey. Israel had to make a choice of whether they would live in peace and blessings with YeHoVaH in their midst or in turmoil and curses as a result of not obeying YeHoVaH’s Commandments.
