God’s Light



God created light and then created beings to show a physical light. His image bearers failed to live in His spiritual light. So He sent His Son to be spiritual Light and give spiritual light to those who believe in Him. They become His lights to show His Spiritual light in a dark world. And one day, God will once again combine the physical light and spiritual light to eradicate darkness once and for all from His creation.

Genesis 1, John 1, John 8, Matthew 5, and Revelation 21-22.

More than a Name



At the end of a particularly hurtful episode where the children of Israel betray the LORD and yet He forgives them, the LORD defines His character for Moses. The LORD is a God compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in covenant love and faithfulness…

Ten Commands – Part 3



The LORD spoke from the mountain these ten commands of His covenant with Israel but they have been taught much longer and wider than there. Jesus expounded them in His gospel of the kingdom (Sermon on the Mount). The apostles taught them and applied them to new Christians regardless of their ethnicity and culture. These are the timeless guidelines for honoring God by honoring His image in humanity.

Ten Commands



Spoken by God from Mount Sinai, these Ten Commands form the basis of the covenant between God and Israel. And they create a well-known framework for all of us to live by. But do we know these as well as we think we do? This is the first part of our tour through these iconic laws as a part of our ancient landmarks series.

God is Good



The prophet asked the LORD what He would do about the wickedness in the nation. The LORD’s answer prompted more questions for Habakkuk. But the LORD reassured His prophet that one day, judgment would come for all those who persist in wickedness and that only through living by faith would any escape condemnation. But when hard times come, will we still trust the LORD? Will we still say “God is good” when the blessings are not evident?

Choose the LORD



Joshua finishes his life by calling the Israelites to continue to live faithfully to the LORD God. There is a fear that Moses communicated to Joshua and now Joshua passes on to this new generation that they will forget how they have been blessed with such a great setup. The LORD has provided for them and He does not want them giving the credit to the gods of the Canaanites. Rather Joshua challenges the people to faithfully serve the LORD alone with love and loyalty. Just as we should as well.

Be Surrendered to God



There is something admirable in fighting against insurmountable odds unless of course that person is fighting against God Almighty.  So we wonder why people would choose to lose.  But the Canaanites of Gibeon broke ranks with the rest of their Canaanites and decided to surrender to the LORD, God Most High.  They would rather be slaves of the LORD than perish eternally.  And the LORD honors them by adding them to His own protected people.

Be Reminded



The LORD had given very specific instructions for the children of Israel to remind themselves of the covenant with God upon entering the Promised Land of Canaan. Joshua saw the opportunity to obey early and obey fully what the LORD had commanded the Moses, His servant. Rehearse the commands of God now that they were receiving the promises.
