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 […]

The cupboard is not bare, When the food is not fare. “There is nothing to eat,” Means not crunchy or sweet. Manna many disdained, About grace they complained. Take care for Daily bread, It’s enough God has said. A challenge I issue, To me, to all and you. If we have food to share, Contentment is my dare. Or else we […]

Repentance without consequence is what we all want. Repentance without having to reap what we have sown sounds wonderful and looks forward to the future. Yet that is not God’s way. How many more would confess if they knew there would be no consequence? Is the reality of our sin heavier because of the consequences? […]

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 […]
