Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

DEUTERONOMY: Key Verses
Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD (Deuteronomy 8:3).
DEUTERONOMY: Key Verses
When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. . . . You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today (Deuteronomy 8:10, 17-18).

but not the blood of goats and calves. He took his own blood, and with it he secured our salvation forever” (Hebrews 9:12, NLT).

to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—

“Use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God” (Romans 6:11-13, NLT).
There Is a Fountain#336
There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains: lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains;
and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day,
and there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away: wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away;
and there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power,
till all the ransomed Church of God be saved to sin no more: be saved to sin no more, be saved to sin no more:
till all the ransomed Church of God be saved to sin no more.
E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,redeeming love has been my theme
and shall be till I die; and shall be till I die, and shall be till I die;
redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die.
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave,
then in a nobler, sweeter song I’ll sing Thy power to save: I’ll sing Thy power to save, I’ll sing Thy power to save;
then in a nobler, sweeter song I’ll sing Thy power to save!
God Be With You
God be with you till we meet again;by His counsels guide, uphold you;with His sheep securely fold you;
God be with you till we meet again.
Till we meet, till we meet,till we meet at Jesus’ feet,
(till we meet)till we meet, till we meet,
God be with you till we meet again.
Go into the world and be a blessing
to those you meet . . . because of Jesus.
