God’s Law 17: Don’t Follow Other Nations Gods

God’s Law with this verse makes clear - ALL nations are following some god!

What is a true theocracy?

What is it when Satan rules?

NO non-Christian nation is a “theocracy”...

God's Law 16: Take Oaths Only In The Lord’s Name

What is important about this law?

When our first president, George Washington, took his oath of office as President of the United States, he took the oath with his hand on the Bible, and upon the conclusion of his oath he kissed the Bible, closed his eyes, and added - “So help me God”.

But in 2006 Minnesota voted into office the first Muslim U.S. Congressman, Keith Ellison. And he took his oath of office on the Muslim Quran.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer spoke up against the unrighteous laws of the German Nazi Party. And being a pianist, the gestapo hung him with piano wire two weeks before the end of the war. Bonhoeffer said...

Who Is Your Head

This is God’s creation headship order for here on earth since the beginning of time. And this makes no reference to whether married or single. It applies to all men and all women.

As with everything of God’s order, Satan tries to abuse it, twist it or suppress it. But this is beautiful when understood biblically and carried out as God intends.

The two most important human relationships in the world are marriages and families. And God orders ONE head for this. To resist God’s order is to not enjoy life as only God can give.

Why resist headship order in marriage and family and yet fully embrace it in all other institutions nowhere nearly as important?

Whoever heard of a civil law in any nation declaring to LOVE! .

Churches may grow in number by having better track lights, better sound systems, better musicians, better ministries and better preachers… but what did Jesus say (Mark 7:8-9):

For you ignore God’s Law and substitute your own tradition. You skillfully sidestep God’s Law in order to hold on to your own tradition.

Jesus did not come to set a church on fire, He said (Luke 12:49): I have come to set the world on fire!

How A Son Dies & Comes To Life Again

Most Christians just like to talk about the love and forgiveness of a father for a prodigal son. And that’s wonderful. But they ignore what was the actual sin of the prodigal son.

There is no stronger testimony in the Bible for adult sons staying with their father and working with and for their father than what Jesus said in the prodigal son story! (Luke 15:11-32):

How does a son die in life and how can a son come back to life again?

God’s Law 13: How To Not Covet

This is the 10th of the Ten Commandments (Deut. 5:21)...

This may be the hardest commandment to keep. It has everything to do with what you think. It makes no reference to what you do, yet causes you to do everything you do that is wrong.

You can’t do anything that you have not first thought about and usually thought about lot. This can be good news or bad news...

"Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the Law of Moses…"

This is why we are going over all God’s Law!

God's Law 12: Lying Vs. Freedom Of Religion Or Speech

This law has application in two areas - perjury in criminal and civil law as well as general community and personal application. .

Two of the Ten Commandments address what we speak...

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue” (Prov. 18:21).

God’s exception for lying

Freedom for only true religion & speech

Therefore, lawlessness abounds today in every city, even after 2 million criminals have already been incarcerated! In the 19th century we didn’t even have prisons!

Religious liberty becomes the triumph of irreligion... If false religions have rights, why not false witnesses?
