The Shema.  It is our life, our heritage, and our heart.  Hearing the words, “the Shema” brings an identity flash
across our hearts. 

The last part of this affirmation, begins with, And thou shall love the LORD thy G-d with all thy heart bb'le lebab,
inner man, mind, will, heart, soul, understanding, knowledge,  thinking, reflection, memory, inclination,  resolution, determination
of will, conscience, character, appetite, emotions, and passion of courage , and with all thy soul,  vp,n< nephesh neh'-fesh,
soul, self, life,  desire, emotion, passion, and activity of the will and character  and with all thy might daom. meh-ode'  force.

So, we are to love the Lord our G-d, with all of our mind, thinking, inner being and activity.  These are convicting
words to a heart that has a real hunger to please G-d.

It is has been said that the definition of “fanatic” when used to describe another believer is “someone who loves G-d more than you do”.

A person described as a "fanatic" is typically a person with a lifestyle of nonconformity.  They are carefree about
what man, women, or child thinks about them.  They have a genuine, personal relationship with G-d. 

The fear, ha'r>yI yir'ah, fear, terror, of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and discipline.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and justice; unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing praises. I will give heed unto the way of integrity; Oh when will you come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart. I will set no base thing before mine eyes; I hate the doing of things crooked; it shall not cleave unto me. A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil thing.

Recently we came out of the dark ages and got a satellite dish and subscribed to the Sky Angel satellite service.  Since we work day and evening, we don't sit down to relax until late at night. We had 5 religious channels on Direct TV, but it was not possible to relate to or to receive from every preacher, teacher, or evangelist.

Unfortunately, at ten or eleven o'clock at night, just about everything on television was filled with violence, sex or cursing. 

Now, we have a choice of finding more teaching and preaching and can usually find something to watch without having to make a choice of either listening to religious channels with either screaming or off the wall doctrine.  We don't have to lose our integrity with G-d and our own souls by entertaining our flesh with perversion of every kind.

If you don't have a religious satellite service, perhaps you have a video or DVD recorder/player? Maybe you could just turn of the TV and get into a specific Bible study. 

We are his and we choose to walk and sit within our home in the integrity of our hearts and to set no base thing before our eyes. 

G-d has give us a standard in his Torah which does not include using his name in vane, killing, adultery, etc. 

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and discipline.

Yeshua said he would rather us be hot or cold rather than lukewarm. 

The word hypocrite is related to acting. When you are around believers and non-believers are you putting on an act?

Then take your last bow and allow the curtains to close on your hypocrisy.  Say no to perverse entertainment.  Make it a commitment and a future lifestyle.

G-d sees, G-d listens, and the word tells us that G-d laughs, and he also weeps.

Make him a proud father as you escape the temptation of the flesh with the same spirit that raised Yeshua from the dead if indeed that spirit does live in you.
