My but Leviticus 26 sounded so fitting today. God’s promise to bless Israel if she obeyed His ways, or punish them if she did not, sounded a lot like what I imagine Him saying to us today. The United States was once a nation that revered God and obeyed His laws…as much as a political…

So how do you like the idea of the Year of Celebration, or what may be better known as the Year of Jubilee? All debt cleared, property returns to its original owner, the land gets a rest. Sounds pretty sweet to me. In Mark 9 we have the teaching of Jesus that causes many people…

In Leviticus 24 we got a small break from reading just the law and got a snapshot of an episode that happened when someone swore against God’s name, and paid the ultimate price. In Mark 8, Jesus refused to do miracles for the religious folks, and when He was asked to heal the blind man,…

In Leviticus 23 God tells the children of Israel about the various convocations, or festivals they are to observe during the year. In Mark 7 Jesus said something that sounded pretty harsh.

God talks to Moses about laws concerning sexual practices that are disdainful to Him. In Mark chapter 4, Jesus tells some parables and calms a storm. And…

On the last episode, I told you that my son, Steven, was going in on June 10th for his second of three surgeries. If you followed along on Facebook, you know how things went. But for those of you who are not FB users, I’ll tell you all about it at the end of today’s…

Just a heads up for those of you who may be listening with young ears around. In our reading from Leviticus chapter 18 today, God tells Moses the laws relating to forbidden sexual practices.

In Leviticus 17, God has Moses tell the people that they must bring their sacrifices to the Tent of Meeting. And in Mark chapter 1, Jesus is baptized. Today we’re reading from the New English Translation. READING May God bless the reading of His Word. You know, Leviticus 17 reminded me of some people who…
