It is time out for only reading the section or portion of the scripture that we like or see the benefit in!!  We must come to know and understand that to obtain the good or the benefit it is in the entirety of His word. 

Fiveamprayer, Adonai comes to give us more teaching on His law!  Where there is no law there is no freedom!  How can we declare all of this freedom without the law?  All of this time that we have spent outside of the law with no results nor benefits are we getting the picture that this idea of freedom without the law is actually lawlessness?  How do you keep chaos at bay?  Where are the boundaries of what is good and righteous?  How are we to determine that which Elohim would have us to do?  The answer is in His Torah!  His teaching and instructions, His principles, His ordinances and statutes--God's Law!  Every king has laws for his land to govern the people who live there.  So the question may be also where is it that you live?  Let us keep these questions in mind when listening to the call from this morning.  For more study read this.  To listen again click here.
