After being delivered through the sea, Israel rejoiced with a song Moses wrote. This is a tune I have set part of the song to: Who is Like You? Who is like You, O Yahweh? Who is like You – glorious in holiness? Who is like You, O Yahweh: Fearsome and famous – doing wonders! You stretched out Your Right […]
God’s people would be bolder and braver if their leaders were not afraid to speak about controversial subjects. Fear of losing license because of being leaders in difficult situations and having unpopular views keeps some leaders from leading people to God’s promises. In chapter 38 of Jeremiah’s record, he prophesied that Jerusalem would be taken by the Chaldeans, and that […]
Paul was trained in the art of enforcing the law. He was trained in the art of rhetoric – of arguing. He considered himself to be charged with a two-pronged advance assignment in the earth: instruct Israelis about the appearance of their King, and then to instruct Gentiles on the same subject. He was to introduce them all to a […]
Angels and other beings from Heaven have been the victims of much imaginative misrepresentation by humans. From impish babies with wings, to Cupid, to fairies, we have painted and sculpted them in ways that make them fit our stories since we don’t have too many stories or details about them from God’s stories. If the warriors we need working with […]
Peter was preaching to a crowd that had gathered when he and John healed the lame man at the Beautiful Gate when he told them that Jesus would be in Heaven until “the restitution of all things.’ (Acts 3:21 KJV). Revival is a word that means “bring back to life.” Restitution means something was paid for, or repaid after theft, […]
You can’t see His Kingdom if you have not been born of Him (John 3:3). Once your eyes have been transformed by His Light, you can begin to see His Kingdom in many different places and times. This is a view of it from a place of exile in which His people found themselves; a place where He raised His […]
After seeing their God do one more great work of delivering them and destroying their enemies, Israel changed their tune. At least for one afternoon. Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and said, ” I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted; The horse and its rider He has hurled […]
What Yahweh said to Moses: Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Tell the sons of Israel to turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea; you shall camp in front of Baal-zephon, opposite it, by the sea. For Pharaoh will say of the sons of Israel, ‘They are wandering aimlessly in the land; the wilderness has […]
Our God has designed our minds to value logic and to use it to find our ways and protect ourselves and our families. We use it to imagine things and then to build them. Paul suggested to the Believers in Corinth that they needed to have their logic influenced by the experiences that were recorded about the Israelis who followed […]
Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which […]
