to belong body & soul to our faithful Saviour Jesus Christ --
from tiny newborns to gray-haired grandparents!
We were encouraged by our pastor's sermon on Deuteronomy 4, where Moses focuses on the Lord & on His wonderful works for His people. And most of all, God has displayed His love to us in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ!
For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the LORD our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?
And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day?
Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren, especially concerning the day you stood before the LORD your God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me,
‘Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’
...For ask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard. Did any people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live? Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
To you it was shown, that you might know that the LORD Himself is God; there is none other besides Him.
Deuteronomy 4: 7-10, 32-35
