I’ve been reading through the books of Moses again, and mot recently, Deuteronomy. I was reading through chapter 9 this morning and noticed something that has never really clicked in my mind before. In Deuteronomy 9:13-14, after the Israelites make the golden calf while Moses has been on the mountain talking to God, God is [...]

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 [...]

I found Numbers a really interesting book to read, it elaborates on and explains the law established in Leviticus with real examples. It also provides general information and statistics on the people of Israel, which I thought was interesting too. The first chapter of Numbers is entirely a census that God told Moses to take [...]

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 [...]

Chapter’s 48 to 50 of Genesis are where we get to the end of the recount of Joseph’s life and the end of the book of Genesis. The life of Joseph is quite well known, but this is where it gets a bit less known. In chapter 48, we get the second mention of Joseph’s [...]

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 [...]

I just heard Nazareth speaking on JCTV in his new special “Free To Laugh”. He is a really funny guy and is really a great preacher. In the JCTV programming guide the description on his programs is: “Nazareth is the funniest man this side of the Pyramids.” You’ll think so too when you see Nazareth [...]
