Numbers 27.8-11
“And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter. And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. And if his father has not brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest kinsman of his clan, and he shall possess it. And it shall be for the people of Israel a statute and a rule, as the LORDcommanded Moses.’”

Property and Neighbor Love
The Law of God for Daily Meditation

Deuteronomy 24.1-4
“‘When a man takes a wife and marries her, if then she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, and she departs out of his house, and if she goes and becomes another man’s wife, and the latter man hates her and writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out of his house, or if the latter man dies, who took her to be his wife, then her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she has been defiled, for that is an abomination before the LORD. And you shall not bring sin upon the land that the LORDyour God is giving you for an inheritance.’”
'You Who Practice Lawlessness' (The Kingdom Turn, Part 7)
“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7.23
Surprise, surprise!
My friend Mike Slay refers to this passage as the “scariest verse in the Bible.” (You can visit Mike’s blog here.)
'Your Father’s Good Pleasure' (The Kingdom Turn, Part 6)
“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12.32
The pleasure of His company
Contrary to what many people seem to think, life in the Kingdom of God is a life of deeply satisfying pleasure.
'You Shall Receive Power' (The Kingdom Turn, Part 5)
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” Acts 1.8
The rip current of secularism
The Kingdom turn brings a new perspective on life, so that those who come to faith in Jesus Christ view their lives, and live them, from the vantage point of eternity. The more we realize the abundant blessings that are ours in Jesus Christ, the greater our passion for Him becomes, as love for Him re-organizes all the other loves of our life.
'Seek First the Kingdom of God' (The Kingdom Turn, Part 4)
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness...” Matthew 6.33
First things...
Everybody understands the idea of priorities. Priorities determine the way we use our time and the ways we invest our strength, abilities, and treasure.
'That They May Behold My Glory' (The Kingdom Turn, Part 3)
“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory...” John 17.24
The money priority
For many people – undoubtedly, too many – money is the determining factor in all their priorities. It is the great priority that drives everything else they do. But it’s interesting to consider the different ways people pursue this highest priority.
'More than These?' (The Kingdom Turn, Part 2)
So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” John 21.15
The life we should love
In the book of Revelation those who have come to faith in Jesus Christ, who have truly made the Kingdom turn, are described as not loving their lives so much that they would not gladly die for their faith (Rev. 12.10, 11, especially in NASB).
'Lift Up Your Eyes!' (The Kingdom Turn, Part 1)
“Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” Jn. 4.35
Forever changed
Sometime early in the year 1436, art and painting in the Western world changed dramatically and permanently.
