Calvary Temple
He gives beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that we might be called ‘trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord’, that HE might be glorified.

Inside the Promised Land
Deuteronomy 20 is God’s law book on war. He laid out concessions for those who shouldn’t go to battle, including those who were fearful and might spread their fear to other soldiers, and how to handle the cities outside of the Promised Land by offering them peace!
But inside the Promised Land, things were very different! God said not to leave alive anything that breathed, so that they couldn’t spread their evil ways of idolatry and sins against God.
The blessings were all-inclusive for staying within the bounds of the Promised Land covenant—even to the blessing of their children for a thousand generations. God is so faithful! And to the church of Jesus Christ, he says that the very gates of Hell will not prevail against us. Amen!
