1. Deuteronomy 17:14-15
When you enter the land the Lord your God
is giving you and have taken possession of
it and settled in it, and you say, ‘Let us set a
king over us like all the nations around us,’
be sure to appoint over you the king the
Lord your God chooses. He must be from
among your brothers. Do not place a
foreigner over you, one who is not a
brother Israelite.

2. Deuteronomy 17:16-17
The king, moreover, must not acquire great
numbers of horses for himself or make the
people return to Egypt to get more of
them, for the Lord has told you, ‘You are
not to go back that way again.’ He must
not take many wives, or his heart will be
led astray. He must not accumulate large
amounts of silver and gold.

3. Deuteronomy 17:18-19
When he takes the throne of his kingdom,
he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy
of this law, taken from that of the priests,
who are Levites. It is to be with him, and
he is to read it all the days of his life so that
he may learn to revere the Lord his God
and follow carefully all the words of this
law and these decrees

4. Deuteronomy 17:20
and not consider himself better than his
brothers and turn from the law to the right
or to the left. Then he and his descendants
will reign a long time over his kingdom in
Israel.

5. For BELIEVING the Bible
is the word of God, we
spend very little time
READING it.
Hearing God’s VOICE begins with opening
the book in which He has SPOKEN.
It’s fascinating how God can be a God
UNLIKE any other only to have a people who
long to be LIKE every other.
6. The battle is settling into the
LAND without settling into
its PRACTICES, which can
only be achieved by settling
into God’s WORD.
God’s word does not have an EXPIRATION
date.
The remedy for being uninformed or
misinformed is get INFORMED.
7. There is no credit
or benefit from
owning an
UNREAD Bible.
We can only know God to the EXTENT He
has revealed Himself and the MEASURE that
we become familiar with that revelation.
8. A broader understanding of the WHOLE of
the Bible enables you to enter into greater
DEPTH with particular texts and doctrines
Just because you are FAMILIAR with God’s
word doesn’t mean you will follow it, but
you cannot FOLLOW it if you are not first
familiar with it.
