Moses was living in the wilderness of Midian when God approached him and commissioned him to go and challenge Pharaoh of Egypt and tell him to release God’s people to go worship in the wilderness. Moses had fled to the wilderness after his first effort to save his brethren from the cruelty of Pharaoh had failed. He fled Egypt just 40 years prior, after killing an Egyptian. You see, he really was called to deliver his brethren from their slavery to the Egyptians. (Acts 7:19-29) That was the plan of God for his life. He just blew it the first time he tried.

Why Does the Storm Come?
I want to examine a phenomenon I see in the bible in a couple of places. There are probably more, but in the past few days I have been zeroing in on these two. The Holy Spirit has been speaking to me through them.

The Second Adam…Our Example
It was recently brought to my attention that the second Adam (Jesus) did what the first Adam was supposed to do in the beginning after his creation. It was proposed by this teacher that the first Adam was supposed to rule the world with his words. I had never made that connection until I heard the statement.

Weird title for a post, right? Well, not if you have been steeped in deep dark sin, and then find yourself delivered and brought into the light of God’s truth. It is the truth…I am an idiot without God. My life before Christ is proof.

I was given inspiration for this post when I heard a comment that went something like this: “There is too much teaching (in the church) about receiving and not enough about holy living.” I remember thinking, “I learned about holy living from the Holy Spirit and not from a man.” Continue reading
Lies the Devil Told Us
Have you ever heard this statement….“Stay out of politics. It’s too dirty.”? How did politics get that way?

His family didn’t get very excited about it when he told them, but nonetheless, the dreams were from God. Continue reading
Dogtags and Pearls 3 Is In the Works
I am working on a new book, Dogtags and Pearls 3. We are about 2/3 of the way through writing it, but I thought I might give a preview of the cover. My aim is to have it finished and ready for printing by the end of this year, if everything goes well. Again, it will be a compilation of blog posts from this blog.
