Favorite passages
If there is any passage I could wear out in any physical Bible, it would be (and is, by the way I look in different translations and see I’ve already been there and marked it up incessantly) Ex. 33:13-23. Almost every day I have a prayer: Seek the favor of God. Moses leads the way for me. He constantly longs…

I’m more Israel than Moses
Israel had been in Egypt over 400 years and couldn’t wait a few days for Moses to come down the mountain with the commands of the Lord. They defaulted to what they knew: the gods of Egypt. I’m more Israel than Egypt. I don’t wait. I default. The command of the Lord is to wait. It’s not because he is…

Too much of Egypt
You must have no other gods before me. (Ex. 20:3) The call of God to Israel was to not only be free of the outward slavery of Egypt, but to have their hearts set free as well. 400 plus years of slavery didn’t just effect their physical and mental status. It enslaved their hearts as well. The plagues on Egypt…

Getting God to Change His Mind
This isn’t a very good Calvinist post. Good thing I’m not a Calvinist. I’m probably not an Arminian, either. I love Exodus because it messes with Calvinist and Armininian viewpoints. It brings the tension of the action of God and the action of humanity into sharp relief. In Exodus 32 Moses has been up on the mountain receiving the covenant…

Fond Memories of Egypt
The children of Israel had watched Egypt go down hard. A nation of slaves had just walked out on the most powerful nation on the face of the earth and deliverance was theirs. Hundreds of years of slavery were wiped out… and they complain. They get outside of Egypt and all of a sudden Egypt sounds like Disney World. They think of the great…

Isn’t It Time to Leave Egypt?
4 You saw what I did to the Egyptians, and how I lifted you up on eagles’ wings and brought you to me. (Ex. 19:4, CEB) There are so many thoughts, discussion, articles, etc., on the angst of the American Church. There are some I agree with, and some I don’t. There are certainly those who are so politicized that the…
