  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 13:17-22

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 13:17-22

    God leads Israel a certain way because He does not want them to encounter war and get scared. Yet, Israel marches in battle array. Such is prideful human nature, by which we always believe we are ready for more than we are. Further, in our flesh we are always ready for a fight even if…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 13:1-16

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 13:1-16

    God not only institutes the annual observance of Passover as a reminder of His work in Egypt but also commands Israel to sacrifice the firstborn from every womb as a reminder to Israel throughout her generations that Yahweh killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt. It was a serious matter and it is not…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:42-51

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:42-51

    God instructs Israel to observe the Passover. Non-Israelites are to abstain from observing Passover unless they become circumcised (i.e. legal citizens of Israel). Why? God has set national Israel apart as His own national people. There is a certain inherent danger in Judiazing or Hebrew Roots movements which cause Gentiles to break some laws by…

  • How To Distinguish Between Our Thoughts and the Holy Spirit Speaking

    How To Distinguish Between Our Thoughts and the Holy Spirit Speaking

    I was scrolling through TikTok and found someone trying to answer how he knows the Holy Spirit is speaking rather than just misinterpreting his own thoughts as the words of the Spirit. After fumbling over his words to try to explain the difference, he claimed that the words of the Spirit were like thoughts, but…

  • The Ten Virgins

    The Ten Virgins

    Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 25 is a continuation of Matthew 24. Jesus’s disciples have asked Him when the Temple will be destroyed and what the signs will be of His judgment against Jerusalem. Jesus has been answering their question, and we are now able to look at the historical record and see that Jesus was…

  • In My Impatience, God is Faithful

    In My Impatience, God is Faithful

    God has proven His faithfulness to Abram, even go so far as to legally commit Himself to His promise according to Abram’s covenant-making tradition. His promise depends only on Him. In the very next passage, God proves that He will follow through. Now Sarai, Abram’s wife had borne him no children, and she had an…

  • The Reassurance of God

    The Reassurance of God

    God made Abram a promise. Abram believed God and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. Before the Law is given, righteousness is established by grace through faith. The righteous live from faith to faith. Abram has faith. In our day, things are very different from Abram’s day. In Abram’s day, Abram was one of…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:33-41

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:33-41

    Go back and read Genesis 15:13. God predicted that Abraham’s descendants would be strangers in a land not their own for 400 years. It would be 30 years until Isaac was born and 400 to the day before the Israelite release from Egypt–430 years exactly. It is a date the Israelites longed for. In this…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:15-32

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:15-32

    God sees the blood on the frames of the Israelite doors and passes over them, not allowing the destroyer to go in. I find this wording interesting. From Genesis 4:23 onward, God has said that He will personally kill the firstborn. Yet, here we read about Him sending in or withholding a destroyer–a character some…

  • Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:14-22

    Daily Devotional: Exodus 12:14-22

    God not only instructs Israel concerning the first Passover in Egypt; He also institutes a week-long festival to commemorate their exodus and freedom. They are coming out of the land of Egypt, so, symbolically, they are to abstain from all leaven–eating only unleavened bread. During the week-long festival, the Israelites are to have holy assemblies…
