Trusting God and you will obey Him

Truly this account of the Israelites in Deuteronomy 1 is so much like the lives of many believers. We go and check things out, we get a confirmation, and then still refuse to obey the Lord's instruction…

Sabbath Rest

I could not help but wonder what this verse meant when it says "afflict your souls". Well, after using my handy little concordance, I got a better understanding. That word afflict means to browbeat, to…

OBEY the Father...He knows best!

Forget the fact that there are all these lewd things the Bible has clearly outlined that we should not do and we don't know or understand why....how about just do it because HE, GOD SAID NOT TO.  We should…

Leviticus 20:22 (KJV)

Leviticus 3:17 (KJV)

So much detail...and why?

God Speaks to Moses face-to-face

Now, up to this point I do not believe any man had had the privilege of speaking to God face-to-face. So, what I wonder is what set Moses apart that God allowed him to see His face. And this had to have…

God allows it, but there's purpose in it
