Looking at the Water...

I have of late been preaching on the Exodus and the children of Israel. They have the same problem as the church of today. When approaching the Red Sea they complained of the POSITION of the water. At Marah they complained of the PURITY of the water. After Sin they were upset about the PRESENCE (or lack thereof) of the water. If we could all get our eyes off of the water and on the God of the water we would not be shocked when the water flows from the Rock!

The Doctor is... WRONG!

I went to the hospital the other night with throat problems. Having very little use for doctors I went as a last resort knowing that there was infection in my throat and ears. The doctor decided to do chest x-rays and an EKG to rule out heart attack. I asked the nurse what an EKG costs? HE did not know. I asked the doctor how much was an EKG? SHE did not know. This is the problem with healthcare today and why costs are spiraling out of control. I never met a mechanic or a carpenter that had no idea concerning the cost of parts or lumber. It's their job. I refused both procedures and requested antibiotics. Three or four hours later my heart attack was clearing up quite well.

HAIL PROOF...

This morning the message was from Exodus 9. The plagues were progressing as was the level of judgment. Once a month God was giving pharaoh an opportunity to repent and turn. Repentance was present with pharaoh several times throughout the ordeal but no turning. Before the hail and fire came Moses told them to get inside. Before God judges He gives man an opportunity to get inside, or under the Blood. Those that took the man of God seriously were spared the judgment, those that hearkened not were doomed without protection. I am glad that I received Christ years ago and am now hail/Hell proof!

Moses and Aaron...

I preached this morning out of Exodus 5. Moses and Aaron approached Pharaoh and requested release to go three days journey into the wilderness to worship. What a shock when Pharaoh kicked them out, told them to get back to work, decided to supply straw no more, and increased the daily brick production demands. Sometimes when serving God things do not necessarily just fall into place. Serve God anyway for it is right!
