  Discussion on themes of Purim - "all things work together for the good of those who love God" [15:47m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadOne common smear against God in recent times is that He is “an absentee landlord” or “a blind watchmaker” Who may have set everything in motion but now doesn’t care or doesn’t get involved. Many then blame Him for the evil and suffering that goes on in the world, particularly to those who it appears to us don’t deserve it, such as a dying family member or a starving child. Continue reading “Purim — God loads the purim for His glory”  Haman tries to convince the king to honor him.

Try to put yourself into the shoes of Moshe (Moses) in Exodus 6. His first presentation with Pharaoh didn’t go very well — just as Moshe had told God it wouldn’t. His confidence was even lower now than it had been before. Yet God did not change His mind about His call on Moshe and Aharon (Aaron).  As Sha’ul (Saul) faced his end, he became so frustrated with God’s silence that he sought out counsel in a way he knew was wrong. David, on the other hand, considered coming back to Israel alongside the Philistine army but is rebuffed just as Saul was rebuffed by God — and Samuel. Moshe (Moses) returned to Mitsraim (Egypt) and found Aharon (Aaron) was willing to help him accomplish the task God gave him to do. However, Moshe and his wife Tzipporah have a life-and-death confrontation with God first, and she saved them all by quickly circumcising a son. Once Aharon and Moshe set God’s plan into motion, they face Pharaoh and hit their first roadblock. Paul was anxious to return to Yerushalayim for the feast of Shavuot (Pentecost), but on his way he received dire warnings of what would face him when he got there. The events that occur in Yerushalayim started the process of Paul’s journey to Rome. Continue reading “Acts 21:1–16 — Paul travels from the isles of Asia toward Yerushalayim” |
