This last part of Exodus largely covers God’s requirements of the tabernacle and His instructions on how it should be set up. By and large, the things covered here are things I have gone over before, but there were a few little things here and there that I found quite interesting. Chapter 35 starts off [...]
This part of Exodus is largely based around God’s Ten Commandments, and has some really good life advice in general. In chapter 18, Jethro, Moses’ father in law and the priest of Midian comes to visit after hearing everything that God is doing with the Israelites. In verses 13 to 26, after seeing how Moses [...]
Exodus is an interesting book to read. As it’s name suggests, the main focus of the first half is on the oppression and the Israelites exodus of Egypt. It then covers the ten commandments, and then almost all of the second half is focused entirely on the development of the tabernacle. I didn’t end up [...]
I’ve decided to keep a list of the books I’ve read this year. Mainly because I was aiming to read 52 books. Well, I’m about 4 books behind so far and I think that’s going to get worse, but we’ll see. So here’s my list. The Crooked Letter by Sean Williams. Finished on 06/02/2009. Genesis [...]
In the 14 chapters of Genesis that I went through this morning, I again noticed a few things I hadn’t picked up on before that I would like to share. The first thing is that, after Jacob’s 14 years of working for Laban to be allowed to marry his daughter Rachel, after being deceived into [...]
It’s a funny thing hearing yourself quote a scripture reference you didn’t know you knew. It almost gives you goosebumps when a friend comes to you to talk to about a difficult situation they are in, and you just feel compelled to give them this reference you didn’t know you knew, and later realise it [...]
I’ve been reading Genesis in the Bible over the past couple days and having a bit more of a look at it. I’ve read it before, but so far, I’m up to chapter 23 and I’ve already noticed some interesting things that I hadn’t realised before, including a life lesson. In chapter 4 from verse [...]
At the 2009 South NSW Big Camp in Jindabyne last week, Grenville Kent had an interesting story that he shared with the Youth in one of the morning meetings about a discussion that he had with an engineer he was sitting next to on a plane. I’d like to share it back the way I [...]
Just an interesting tidbit from Tony Knight’s sermon the other night in the youth program at the South NSW Seventh Day Adventist Big Camp at the Jindabyne Adventist Alpine Village. God is hugely creative and likes a good story. So when you are following the path through the doors that God opens for you in [...]
I was having a chat with Rhi this evening. I’m not entirely sure how we got onto the topic, but, as I’m a Christian, she asked if I could explain why there are 30+ years missing between BC and AD. Since BC means Before Christ, so before Christ was born, and AD means After Death. [...]
