photo credit: size8jeans Numbers 11:25 = "this was the only time this happened"...interesting Numbers 11:26-29 = a good lesson for today's church leadership Numbers 11:33-35 = not a plague in the sense of disease, but death by gorging on animal meat after a diet of only manna—another example of sin being its own reward/punishment Numbers 12:3 = "Moses was more humble than any other person on earth." Numbers 12:6-8 = God had a very special relationship with Moses Numbers 12:11 = Aaron gets it right in his confession Numbers 13:3 = the spies were all leaders Numbers 13:16 = Joshua renamed from a generality to a specific Numbers ...

iLife: Study, part 2 Authenticity, Featured, Musings, Resources, Worship, Worship Theology | (3)
As promised, here's a (somewhat) quick run-down of how to go about doing a Bible study using internet resources. In the past, doing a study like this would have meant gathering numerous books, costing several hundreds of dollars. With the current availability of said resources for free on the internet, we Christ-followers have even less excuse for really getting into the word and wringing everything out of it we possibly can. Some basic resources for Bible study might include: A study Bible An exhaustive concordance A topical Bible A Bible dictionary A Bible handbook Commentaries A Bible Encyclopedia All of these can be found for free on the internet, and ...

But in the end there WILL be repentance. Numbers 1 = If you've never read Numbers, it's very appropriately named. Long story short, 603,550 men over age 20 of fighting ability escaped from Egypt. Add to this the estimate of women, children and aged men, plus the non-Israelites in train and the as yet to be numbered Levites, it is likely ...

photo credit: Alone... Leviticus 15 = Genital discharges and spit. What a way to start off a week of reading the Scripture. Leviticus 15:11 = Wash your hands! Leviticus 15:26-18 = no wonder we get so uptight about sex and sometimes view it as unclean Leviticus 16:2 = Thank you for giving us the ability to come to You now whenever we need/want/desire! Leviticus 15 vs. 16 = Physical cleanliness vs. spiritual cleanliness. Physical - a must for health and is an act. Spiritual - a must for holiness and though it is an act (of obedience) it is more an attitude (of submission). Leviticus ...

Submit your questions Announcements, Worship, Worship Leader Wednesday, Worship Theology | (0)
Hey all. I'm working on a "round table" featuring some of the worship leaders who have been interviewed so far during Worship Leader Wednesday. I'd like a great and diverse set of questions to throw at them, and so I'm asking for your help. I think I'll have a greater diversity if the questions come from multiple sources. So, hit the comments below and submit your questions. Any topic relating to worship, the Church, Scripture, theology, Christianity, etc. is welcome. What do you want to know?
