July 4th is when God gave the 10 Commandments to Israel at Mt. Sinai to announce their freedom from the tyrant King of Egypt. No? Am I getting my history confused? This curious confusion points to similarities between our Declaration and Constitution, and Israel’s 10 Commandments. Read the Preamble in Exodus 20:2, […]

Words paint pictures. A picture might be worth a thousand words, unless it is God painting with words. Notice this verse from the Song of Moses: “The water heaped up at the blast from your nostrils; the currents stood firm like a dam. The watery depths congealed in the heart of the sea.” (CSB’17 […]

Is the Lord’s Prayer Praying the 10 Commandments? Why did Jesus say, ““Therefore, you should pray like this” and then recite what commonly is called, “The Lord’s Prayer” (Matthew 6:9-13)? I want to suggest the possibility Jesus is giving us, in prayer form, a variation of the 10 Commandments. If Jesus is rephrasing and reapplying […]

The son became everything the grandfather feared. We have no record of their previous relationship before that day that changed everything. The son was adopted by the grandfather’s daughter. The grandfather’s reaction to that one day suggests life was not familial in their house. I’m suggesting the grandson was tolerated, not accepted. The grandfather […]
