Drifting
I think it's interesting that this verse talks about a "drift toward evil." I've seen this in my own life. When I drift, my words and actions tend not to be pleasing to God. When I remain disciplined,…

Work & Rest
For those of us in leadership, this verse should challenge how we invest our time and the standards we establish for those who work for us. Clearly, our walk with Christ and our trust in his provision…

As the Lord Commanded
Moses was a great leader that followed a simple formula: He listened to God. Then he did what God said to do. Listen to God. Do what he says. Listen to God. Do what he says. Of course, it's hard to do…

Sin is sin...sort of
All sin is sin. However, it's clear from Scripture that some sins lead to different consequences. We can still be forgiven, but ultimately we may still live with the consequences of our sin. Sexual sin…

Jealous
I love this attribute of God. He's jealous about his relationship with me. How many times, though, do I put other relationships, commitments, priorities ahead of him?

Friends Bringing the Hurting
Just like when Jesus walked the earth, people still bring their hurting friends to Jesus. Jesus does the healing. We just need to get people to Jesus.

Never do Ministry Alone
Jesus modeled doing ministry in teams by sending his disciples out two by two.

Tell Others or Not?
Why is it that sometimes Jesus encouraged people to tell others about their healing and other times he told them to stay quiet?

The Magic Formula
Moses listened to God. Moses did what God told him to do. Moses said what God told him to say. That's the key to church growth.

Sharing Stories
I love watching the relationship between Moses and Jethro. It appears that they had a special bond. Moses models the importance of sharing stories. He tells Jethro about all the amazing things God has…

Which Staff? :-)
How staffs did Moses have that God had to clarify which staff he was talking about? I can just picturing Moses responding, "Oh, you mean the staff I used to strike the water of the Nile. Now I know which…

Only 3 Days...
That's how long it took the people of Israel to forget that God was God. How often do I forget the miracles God has performed in my life in the past, when I face a present crisis?

Unique Gifts
From this passage, it seems pretty clear to me that God gives each of us unique spiritual gifts. And, with that in mind, it is pointless for us to all pursue the same gift.

Wait Quietly
Too often, I think I fall into the trap of wanting to talk to God. That's pretty silly. Why would I be concerned about saying anything when he's ready to talk to me. I'm too impatient and prideful to…

Old Guys
One of the things that has always intrigued me is how old Moses and Aaron were before they responded to this calling from God. I'm more inclined to want direction immediately. My nature isn't to wait.…

Tough Times
This is a good reminder that just because we are experiencing difficult times doesn't mean God isn't with us or doesn't love us. It's dangerous to think that when times are good, God is rewarding us for…

Hardened Hearts
Verses like this scare me. God is mercy. But God is also just. If we turn our back form him, ultimately he may choose to harden our hearts just like he did Pharaoh's. What's my heart condition?

Leadership Humility
When I've read this passage in the past, I've looked at it as if Moses was lacking faith. That may be true, but I'm wondering if this is actually a great representation of who God chooses for leadership…

Our Legacy
If anyone should have a legacy in life apart, it should have been Joseph. His strategic initiatives and leadership saved the nation of Egypt. Yet, as this verse points out, the king of Egypt "knew nothing…

Put your hand under my thigh?
Anyone know what that's all about? Why did Jacob ask his son to put his hand under his thigh? That's gross. What was the purpose?

Young Leaders
I'm pretty sure God waited until Moses was 80 to lead the people out of Egypt. In this case he chose a 30-year-old man to lead. What am I doing to position the next generation of leaders? Am I willing…

Taking Action
So many lessons in this parable. God doesn't give the same gifts to everyone. God rewards people differently. The biggest lesson, though, seems to be that we're called to take action with the gifts God…
