Keep My Commandments--Introduction

Anthem Ten
Keep My Commandments

“Moreover by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward.” Psalms 19: 11

Introduction

My thoughts on the 19th Psalm to this point were written during the summer of 2006 while on a trip deep into the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Because YHVH has taught me much since then, a normal editing process was necessary to make sure my thoughts reflected as best as possible the increased revelation of the unchanging purity of His Word—no doctrinal mixture.

One of the points of mixture I found was an example of an ideal that has taken a long time to pare away from my thinking. With the false doctrine of “grace vs. law” still an integral part of my theology, it did not come as a surprise to find this glaring error in my writing—one of omission.

In taking an overall survey of the material within this writing, I noticed v. 11 had somehow been completely skipped over. I'm not certain why I neglected to write even one word concerning David's comments within this verse. Even though influenced by Hebrew Messianic thought at that time, it appears I had become little more than a Messianic Christian.

It is a fact that not all Messianic followers embrace the fullness of Torah. There are those within Messianic circles that wear the theological clothing of Hebrew Messianic persuasion. They speak the language of Torah. On the surface, they may even seem to “walk the talk”. Yet, a closer examination reveals a Torah walk of their own devising—no different than tainted mixtures of modern Christianity.

In order to correct my original error of omission and expose false teaching within both christian and some Messianic circles, this chapter will address the very important charge David accepts for himself, and passes on to us—“Keep (YHVH's) commandments”. In addition, chapters 11 & 12 are the edited and expanded version of the original chapter 10. Go fully with YHVH, and He will go with you.
