You can run but you can’t hide from God’s judgment.

Amos was a prophet who told the truth that God will hunt down whoever God’s enemies are.  He will find you.  Amos 9:1-15   God judges His people with fairness (oh good) and with justice (uh-oh).   God judges His people and His enemies.  Whatever God says, it will happen.   God protects His people, but He doesn’t […]

The Challenge of Rebellion Accepted By the LORD

Korah, and others who agreed with him, rebelled against the LORD’S authority and His words.  They claimed that all the congregation was holy and Moses and Aaron were exalting themselves above the people.  When Moses heard this, he fell on his face.  Then Moses said, tomorrow morning the LORD will show who is His and […]

Remember God’s Powerful Hand in Your Experience

Too many times, God works in our lives and we forget!     God told the sons of Israel to remember the dramatic night of the Passover in Egypt. About two million men, women and children left after midnight, walking out of Egypt. And they took their livestock.  What a crowd!    They carried unleavened dough, gold, […]

Do you know what PASSOVER! means?
