Unconditional Respect

Who is Being Used by God to Crush You?
Without a doubt one of the most gut wrenching books I own is "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers. These are daily devotions for morning and evening. If you don't own a copy of this book, I strongly encourage to get a copy. Put it on your g...

The Seventh Commandment
The seventh commandment states:You shall not commit adultery. (Ex. 20:14) I have been getting some of my Jewish references from the Jewish Agency for Israel. It is interesting to note that their site does not even list this commandment. I know th...

The First Commandment
I am taking my verses from the New King James Version of the Bible. I like the "old" King James, it is what I am more comfortable with. But the language is very archaic to say the least. I always compare verses in several translations. If you wan...
