Book of Numbers is More than Just Numbering Israelites
One of my favorite parts of the first few chapters of Numbers is when God tells Moses who will do what and God does so by name. This is clearly seen in the first four chapters of Numbers where God specifically appoints certain individuals for specific tasks. This is astounding to me. God knew these people intimately…by name. He didn’t just say “find a few people whom you believe will do this task well.” No, God often told Moses the names of certain individuals whom He had anointed for certain work. Isn’t that something?
One More Q for the Day
Thomas Jefferson said that the Judicial Branch had the capacity of turning the Constitution into wax (my paraphrase), and we can see why. When you have people appointed and approved to the Supreme Court who are not qualified but owe political favors, it’s easy to see how and why unconstitutional rulings would follow. We have that with Supreme Court Justice Kagen, who prior to her appointment to the Supreme Court never served as a judge in any capacity. Though an attorney, as one individual put it, “her record as a practicing attorney is notoriously thin for someone hoping to fill such a lofty post. From an experience standpoint, she’s probably the least qualified person to be nominated to the Court in my lifetime.”
Q’s Posts and the Seeming Interminable Wait
Q has been posting off an on since this my last article. Some of the more important posts were made on February 5th, this past Monday. Let’s start there because there are several doozies. The first one to the right looks strange at first and if you did not what the meaning of what appears to be coded information was, it wouldn’t necessarily strike you as anything important at all.
All Those Rules and Regulations Speaks to Depravity
We arrive to today realizing that people are simply perverse and stupid. Often animals act more like humans than other humans. That is a sad commentary on society but in many ways it’s true. Why? Because people have set God’s rule aside and adopted their own values based on emotional virtue and political correctness. People today have little problem sleeping around and doing the very things that God warned the Israelites not to do.
Americans Are Dreamers Too
It has become exceedingly clear that the Democrat Party is the official party of obfuscation. They not only do not want America to move forward, but they want what Mr. Obama worked in earnest to achieve to continue. The Democrat Party is now the party of opposition. They oppose everything good that President Trump and most Republicans are attempting to accomplish. Over the next few weeks, and once the Memo is released, it will become even more apparent to the average person just how corrupt and weaponized parts of the federal government became under President Obama.
Constancy of Offerings Under Levitical System
In the Old Testament, salvation came to people the exact same way it comes to us; through faith (Hebrews 11). However, also during the Old Testament times, the sacrificial system played an important role in ensuring that people understood that sin was reprehensible to God. Drastic measures (death of animals, which often necessitated sacrifice by owners were needed because the sacrifice was taken from their flocks, meaning one less animal or more to have for financial purposes). This was done by the penitent to remain in fellowship with God.
Illegal Aliens or Legal Immigration? What Would Jesus Do?
Would Jesus set aside the law of the land? Would Jesus welcome people who are illegally here? The far left points to Jesus’ love for people, how He fed multitudes, how He healed many, and even raised the dead. Surely, they believe, this same Jesus would have a burden for the plight of so many people illegally here in the United States. While His compassion would certainly extend to them, He would not for a moment encourage them to break the law. It is unconscionable that people believe He would.
A Warning for ALL Evangelical Churches
If you see that your church is starting to slide in modern music, reducing the number of hymns, be wary. It often starts like that and pretty soon, the hymns are shunted off to the side and the modern music is given the spotlight. Older folks are encouraged to “come along with the Spirit” so that more young people will come to church.
Q: A BIG Week and Startling Information!
I am now convinced that God allowed President Obama to rise to power and to do what he could to destroy America. Had Obama not been allowed to do that, we would not be where we are now. If things had simply happened ever so slowly over many decades, we might not even have noticed. However, with the speed with which Obama was able to start dismantling America, too many noticed. Because of that, Christians took to their knees. We prayed for at least the eight years that Obama was in office. It appears that God has heard our prayers and is answering them. We have an opportunity to do what is absolutely right and we cannot shrink from it. Again, if there is nothing else you can do, you can pray. Pray for the safety of President Trump and family. Pray that God will bring all of this to a head so that the perpetrators of all this illegalities will come to the surface and people will go to prison.
Grumbling and Complaining
Miracles do not make mature Christians. I’ll say that again. Miracles do not make mature Christians. We see proof of that with the Hebrews. In spite of the many miracles God did on their behalf, they constantly spit in God’s face. The actual miracles often impressed them as they happened but they soon forgot all about them when their next problem came up.
Too many of today’s Christians are the exact same way. They chase after the supernatural, the miraculous because they think that in those things, they will find God. They don’t find God at all. They are never satisfied. They fail to mature. They live in a constant state of carnality and fleshly desires. They are not well-grounded at all.
