What do we learn from the Garden of Eden? That Adam and Eve opposed God in feedin’. God put the tree there to teach good and evil; But “self” sent Paradise into upheaval. Truth be told, they chose death over life and God; Curses for women in birth and man in sod. Satan’s deceptive ploys to discard God’s […]

Everyone, at some time in their lives, finds themselves in the position of listening. Some listening is designed for nothing more than allowing the speaker to “sound off” or “think out loud.” Afterwards, even without you saying anything, they conclude with, “Thanks for listening.” Some listening goes beyond that where the speaker ends by saying […]

Imagine an event so monumental, that it redefines time. The power performing the event transcends human experience causing even time itself to be rearranged. That, my friend, is the power of “The Exodus.” More accurately, that is the power of the Power leading “The Exodus.” How did the expulsion of the Israelites from Egypt altar […]

This is not just a hypothetical question because most if not all of us have been or will be replaced. There […]

After Israel refused to accept God’s gift of Canaan because they were afraid of giants, they wandered for 38 more years. Because of fear they were unwilling to fight for what was theirs. Did you ever notice where God made them wander? Where could have been called, “The Wilderness of What Might Have Been.” Their […]

Crossing the Jordan River, is a metaphor for death and entering the spiritual promised land. This is of course associated with Israel crossing the Jordan River, leaving the wilderness after 40 years, finally inheriting the land. Knowing the metaphor, I found Deuteronomy 4.21-22 ironic. Deuteronomy 4:21-22 HCSB (21) “The LORD was angry with me on your […]

An interesting passage on the image of God is one that states what it is not, not what it is. Because of this, it would be impossible to make an image of the image of God. And although mankind is made in the image of God, male and female are not the image. This passage […]
