Pastor's Note:
The Presumption of (Self) Salvation (Deuteronomy 1)
|
The account of Israel's past failure to believe in God's promises takes a central role in Deuteronomy 1. Moses addresses the second generation with a stern warning not to repeat the mistakes of their fathers in the past. The root of the problem is fear (Deuteronomy 1:28-29). Fear allows unbelief to creep in, which ended in failure to receive God's promises for themselves, including Moses!

Thank you to everyone who contributed supplies and the funds for LULY. Additional funds still need to be raised for tuition to send 10 highly motivated children to

D.M. Stearns Missionary Fund
PO Box 1578*
