He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars – if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Genesis 15:5. Yesterday the Earth marked a milestone. 8 billion people. Can you imagine? Can you count each one? In Numbers 1, a…

In this final Chapter of Leviticus, Leviticus 27, God instructs in how they can make a special vow to Him. The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the Lord by giving the equivalent value, set the value…’” v.…

Can you imagine what it must be like to be God? The most interesting, fascinating Being who created everything we see and everything we can’t see; who created us in His image and likeness and surrounded us with the beauty of His creation…and His people turn their back on Him and bow down to images…

My husband and I love to watch all things Star Trek. There is the concept of timelines and reading my Bible, I definitely get a sense of a different timeline. It was such a different world then. The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy…

Can we imagine being a people in such a unique position that the Creator God is teaching us how to live by His instructions? He was a Holy Guide to them. He loved them.
