"So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, so that as long as the sky remains above the earth, you and your children may flourish in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors. "Be careful to obey all these commands I am giving you. Show love to the LORD your God by walking in His ways and holding tightly to Him.
DO NOT TWEAK THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD, GOD THE ALMIGHTY! Don't play the "I can get away with driving a little bit over the speed limit game with any of the Word." In fact, that in itself is a violation of Romans 13:1 I must be scrupulous to adhere to the LORD, God the Almighty's directions for life in the Kingdom in the here and now. That is at the very heart of my testimony, the root of my demonstration that the Kingdom turn is to become counter-cultural in every aspect of my life.
