Exodus 15:22-18:27

It is incredible to see how quickly the Israelites started to complain and lose faith in God. Not even one week since leaving Egypt and they already started to complain. We can empathize with them a little, understanding how precious water is to life and how their expectations after deliverance were not exactly met. But there was no excuse to complain to the same God who just released them from hundreds of years of slavery! Why did the people complain? Psalm 106: 12f tells us the reason: the people forgot. We often read the…

“And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” (Genesis 5:24)

Genesis 5 is filled with a lot of words like “begot” and names like “Cainan” or
“Mahalalel” and “Lamech.” People are living hundreds of years. That’s distant

            “Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves” (Thomas Carlyle).

            Meditation is vital to spiritual development.  Paul told Timothy, "Meditate on these things: give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all."  Good thinking is the springboard to right actions.  Seldom does a man who does shallow thinking make wise choices. 

            Meditation is an act reserved for the human family.  It involves memory, knowledge, experience, and resolution.  It is…
