Running Water

Most people would skip Numbers 19 to get to the part where Moses lost it with God’s people and struck the rock. But while there’s nothing to immediately grab your attention, two words in verse 17 contain the Gospel in a nutshell. The course of action for cleansing oneself from defilement is summarized and while [...]

A Simple Life

Over the past few weeks while in Calcutta, India, I’ve noticed how often the poor are mentioned throughout Scripture. It’s hard not to notice poverty when you’re surrounded by it.

Familiarity Breeds Contempt

Even as a young girl, Moses’ sister Miriam possessed a wisdom far beyond her years. When Pharoah’s daughter found baby Moses floating down the river in a basket, it was Miriam who suggested a Hebrew nursemaid, reuniting mother and son. Then, when God parted the Red Sea and destroyed their enemies, it was Miriam who [...]

Enviest Thou For My Sake?

Toward the end of Numbers 11, Moses has had his little rant and feels good about his job again, especially after recruiting seventy elders to share the workload. This means no more late dinners and working til the wee hours for Moses. The seventy men share more than just the responsibility of leadership — they [...]
