Worship in Song

Deuteronomy 32:1–47|Saturday, March 29, 2025

When my children were young, my wife taught them a song called “The Perfect Ten.” The lyrics were a paraphrase of the Ten Commandments. If I asked my college-age daughter to list the Ten Commandments, she references this song. Music helps us remember!

Walk in Obedience

The Book of Deuteronomy

Shake the Box

Are you a “forgetter” or a “rememberer”? In Deuteronomy 8:11, we read, “Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God.” Forgetters, when they achieve something great, say, “Wow! Look what my hard work has achieved!” In crisis, forgetters turn to God, but when things go well, they pray less. In contrast, when life is good, rememberers give God glory. The more they achieve, the more humble they become. They say, “Look what God has done. I give Him the glory.”

Obedience and Love

If we had to summarize the theme of Deuteronomy in a single sentence, we might say: “Obey the Lord!” It makes sense. The command “obey” appears frequently in this book filled with “laws” and “decrees” (Deut. 4:1). Yet the Lord also uses another, less obvious, word to provide context. It is a “covenant of love” (Deut. 7:9, 12). God’s love is the foundation for our obedience. Obedience is answering love.

Isn’t it bigoted to tell people about Jesus or say that Christianity is true?

You aren’t alone with this question. Many Christians hesitate to talk about their faith for fear that they will be misunderstood. Why would anyone risk being called a bigot?

Q & A

February 2025

How do I resist temptation?

“What a friend we have in Jesus,” I’ve sung many times. “All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer!”
