Deuteronomy 30 - The Word is Right Here and Now

14. No. The word is right here and now
as near as the tongue in your mouth,
as near as the heart in your chest.

10. Heart and soul, holding nothing back.
Nothing halfhearted here.

12. It’s not on a high mountain
13. It’s not across the ocean
11. it's not too much for you,
it’s not out of your reach.

19. Today I've given you
the choice between life and death,
between blessings and curses.
Oh, that you would choose life.

So that you and your children will live.

20. Love the LORD your God,
listen to his voice,
and hold fast to him.
For the LORD is your life.

So choose life.

Today, we celebrate the release of our 100th (!) scripture song in just over two years!

While we’ve worked hard and sacrificed a LOT to make this happen, the real credit goes to the Holy Spirit. We’ve been led with so much grace—too much to explain here, but I’ll try to share more about this process in a future video.

We had planned to make a personal video to thank you for your kind words, encouragement, prayers, and donations. But life got in the way, and we barely made this release on time. So, raincheck on that one! 🙏😉

For those encouraging us to take a break, we know you mean well and we love you, but we're following the Spirit’s lead in this process. We know the pace might seem unnatural, but that's because it is, it's supernatural!

Just look around you, the world so desperately needs these truths. These songs are being used for healing, evangelism, helping people overcome addiction, worship, and deepening understanding of the Bible and to lead people (back) to the heart of the Father. It’s worth sacrificing sleep, vacations, and more.

Now, about today’s song—Deuteronomy has stolen my heart ❤️. The Old Testament, like a blurry lens, reveals Jesus.

In Deut. 30:19, God gives Israel (and us) a choice between life and death, blessings and curses. It’s not really a multiple-choice question—God Himself gives the answer: "Oh, that you would choose life!" (Deut. 30:19 NLT).

God, your Daddy AND King of the Universe wants to bless you, wants you to live and see you prosper!

How do we choose life? Deut. 30:20 gives the answer: "Love the LORD your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him. For the LORD is your life."

Wow. The Lord IS your life!

This year, commit yourself to Him, His Word, and choose life to receive His blessings! 🙌❤️

PS: For those with eagle eyes, the red-haired girl sitting with Jesus in the messy room is my beautiful wife, Janis. When we gave our lives to Jesus we both had a spectacular mess to clean up. The Holy Spirit helped me to figure that out, Jesus helped Janis by opening up a box, one at a time. The room symbolises her heart and her life.

PS II: Each weekly song and video costs an average of $5000 to produce. Thanks to our donors, we’re able to keep going, but we could use more monthly partners. If Project of Love has been a blessing to you, please consider supporting us. Thank you! 🙏😊
