I started reading through the book of Matthew again recently, and in Matthew 2, it talks about the three wise men (or magi in some translations) that came from the East. Something I’ve heard and read many times, but I got to thinking, why was it a star? 1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem [...]
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 [...]

Chapter 38 is the recount of Judah, his wife, sons and daughter in law. 39 to 47 are then the majority of Joseph’s time in Egypt, starting with Potiphar in chapter 39 and going from there. There was one thing in this section that [...]
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 [...]
As you may recall from my earlier blog about my recently acquired <a href=”http://blog.stillaslife.com/hardware/3g-wireless-broadband-vodafone-usb-modem/”>Vodafone 3G USB Modem</a> on the 4th of December, I was having trouble getting the modem to work correctly on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.1, or Leopard. I was following the provided instructions to the letter but it simply [...]
