7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 BSB

Did you read that?!

If we walk in the light, if we have fellowship with Yeshua, His Blood cleanses us from ALL sin! Not some, but ALL! ALL SIN!
And on the heels of that thought, comes this: Blood! He died! He suffered untold atrocities and agony, so we could be flippant about our sins?!
Absolutely not! A zillion times a zillion, not!!

I wonder if you have experienced the same as I have — participating in a ‘Christian’ setting, a life group, a Sunday School class, etc., and there’s talk about ‘small’ sins.
You know, the kind where someone gets your food order mixed up, and you are delayed or, worse yet, charged too much money for less food than you ordered, and what happens?
Flesh has a fit!
Choice words are spoken, and clear, convincing body language carries all the way out the door.

_{( Ephesians 4: ³²And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.)}

And we, hearing this sitting in the discussion room, give out a low chuckle. You know what I mean; I am sure you do.
In Christian settings, we often snicker at such slight indiscretions.

We all know we shouldn’t behave this way. Moreover, I am convinced we should be exercised by the mention of these and cease and desist from these behaviors.
Have we deceived ourselves into thinking these behaviors are not sin?
Do we only acknowledge the big sins (especially the below-the-belt ones) as real sin?
I’m just making an observation from the Scriptures and life happening around me, in hopes it will encourage us all to remember the BLOOD of YESHUA – the infinite price He paid for us.

That being said. . . Let us rejoice if we have been cleansed from ALL our sins, and because we have been cleansed, let’s be inspired to live holy, happily ever after.

11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Hebrews 12:11 KJV

2026, Deuteronomy, Questions

The Land of Egypt

12 Aug 2026 Kathie Whitestone Thompson

It is a sentence taken out of context, but it is important.

Deuteronomy 16:3, a portion of it. (Source – see link)

. . . remember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

Yes, it was spoken to Israel; it was written for us.

Remember that day you met YESHUA, that day He led you out of bondage, that day He took your sins and gave you His Righteousness, that day He released you from the kingdom of Satan and placed you in His Kingdom? Yes, that day. Don’t forget it! All the days of your life, don’t forget it! Because if you do, if I do, we will wander back into unbelief.

We don’t want that!
