Leviticus 13 Recently the world has become acutely aware of infection with no known cause and no known cure, and many are dying. The world has reacted first to isolate infected and then to restrict travel to and from that area thousands of miles away. Although these are physical infections, the spiritual lesson is that our […]
Lev 5 God wants us to handle sin when it is revealed to us and more so: “even if we didn’t realize we sinned…” This is not talking about intentional rebellion, but those sins that we unintentionally commit and then realize. Sin brings guilt. You can ignore it OR confess it to God seeking His […]
Leviticus 1 to 4 What a gift of smell God has given to us! It brings smiles, or it carries a warning to beware. As a teenager, I worked to pay my way through school by working in a bakery slicing fresh bread. I will bet that right now you recall those aromas vicariously. […]
Exodus 35-37 When I am tested, I will come forth as gold” In Egypt, God tested his people in a severe trial of slavery.

Exodus 25-27 Today you can turn on the TV and watch the renovations of homes all with their glitz and glamour. God didn’t want to renovate but to build His home from the ground up with all of the beauty, of gold, silver, and precious ornaments. How do you build a house with no blueprints, […]
Exodus 21-24 God is a God of Order Companies far and wide institute rules for their employers. Parents institute rules for their children. Without rules we face anarchy. It is rules and regulations that bring peace. Rules are not new, but something God instituted for a purpose. Yet as you read, it seems like it […]
Exodus 14-17 Have you ever wondered what others think about your path in life? In some ways, God’s revelation to Moses about Pharaoh’s thoughts should be encouraging to us that we have a God that cares and shares with us what is going on “behind the scene.” God knew his inner thoughts even if he hadn’t […]
Exodus 11 to 13 As we have watched, there were two camps of people in Egypt; those who believed and obeyed.
