“Give us a king” is a call of rebellion and a cry for self-rule. “Give us a king like the other nations” is an admittance of fear within and for themselves. “Give us a king to fight our battles” is an admittance of how they view their king – weak – but they were wrong. […]

Search the Biblical history of the Jews and you discover that they believed without rationale, a self-told lie. This lie gave them false security despite it warping the character of God. Their lie turned God into a selfish, self-centered egomaniac. They persuaded themselves that God would not, could not,

“Please tell me you meant that” I will say after hearing a pun. I hear the pun, but that does not mean they mean it. Often they are not wise to their own wisecrack. Puns, witticisms, and such are not the inventions of Americans with a warped sense of humor. These puns and plays on […]

In the garden Eve chooses not to trust God and desires a knowledge that is either not destined for mankind, or else not destined so quickly. The forbidden fruit does exactly what Satan promises, and what God forbade. It grants knowledge (Gen.3.22), a knowledge at that time forbidden. But in eating it, Eve trads trust […]

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 […]
