The Choice Made by Moses (Feeling Unappreciated, Part 3 of 4)

In previously posted articles one and two, we were considering two different responses to difficult circumstances by two men,  General Benedict Arnold, the swashbuckling Revolutionary War general and Moses, the liberator of Israel.   To test Moses, God proposed that he annihilate the Israelites and start over with Moses as the progenitor of a new … Continue reading The Choice Made by Moses (Feeling Unappreciated, Part 3 of 4)

Feeling Unappreciated (Part 1 of 4)

Though Mary was strikingly beautiful, she was vulnerable in two areas. The first was obvious – she was childless, weighing her down with incompleteness. The second only surfaced after I had been her pastor for some time. Gifted in hospitality, she and Bill, her husband, opened their home often to members of our congregation. After … Continue reading Feeling Unappreciated (Part 1 of 4)

Totally Responsible

Everyone is totally responsible for their own attitudes and actions.  A situation with Moses certainly shows this to be the case.      Moses committed a sin that resulted in an early death. His sin was striking a rock instead of speaking to it as God directed. He also identified himself too closely with God and … Continue reading Totally Responsible

What Do You Expect to Accomplish and How Will it End?

Joshua’s Tough Leadership Call

So they [the two spies sent by Joshua] went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab… our lives for your lives (Joshua 2:1,14).   Moses had forfeited entrance into the promised land because he failed to keep the proper distance between himself and God when he said: “...you rebels, must we bring water … Continue reading Joshua’s Tough Leadership Call
