    Ordination- Exodus 29:1-9

    Aaron and his sons are ordained for their priestly ministry. The phrase translated as ordain, here (ומלאת יד–אהרן ייד–בניו), literally means to fill the hand of Aaron and his sons. The earliest mention of a type of ordination by the people of anyone to any kind of ministry in Scripture literally means that through ordination,…

  • The Law Given for Our Good- Exodus 20:22-26

    The Law Given for Our Good- Exodus 20:22-26

    God acknowledges that the people were able to see His manifestations and know that God is the one giving the commands. Moses is not manipulating them. God repeats His command for the people not to make idols and worship them. He even gives some interesting instruction concerning an altar for sacrifices. It is not to…

    The Insufficiency of the Law- Exodus 20:18-21

    All the people perceive the signs of God, see the manifestation of God, from the bottom of the mountain—including the trumpet sounds. They are afraid. Surely to see any manifestation of the holy, almighty God is terrifying. Because they are afraid, they ask Moses to speak to them. They feel if God speaks to them,…

  • Honor Your Mother and Father- Exodus 20:12

    Honor Your Mother and Father- Exodus 20:12

    God instructs the Israelites to honor their fathers and mothers. This command does not always mean that parents must be agreed with or obeyed if what they are asking is immoral.

    The Sabbath Is For Man- Exodus 20:8-11

    God instructs Israel to honor the Sabbath day by keeping it holy—setting it apart. The seventh day, Saturday, was to be a day of rest from labor. Toil was to be done in six days. On Saturday, the people were not to work themselves, anyone, or anything else. They were to rest. God rested on…

    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…

  • God is Unsearchable, but Reveals Himself

    God is Unsearchable, but Reveals Himself

    Directly prior to the great flood, God withdrew His spirit such that the Spirit did not strive with humanity (Genesis 6:3). He left humanity to its own devices to rule the earth, and the earth was plunged into wickedness and violence. God baptized the earth because it had become corrupt. People will only bring injustice…

    I want to tell you how CM has changed and grown in the past few months. In 2021, we have a greater need than ever to raise funds. God has moving us along more quickly chan we can keep up–which is a good thing but very stressful when everyone seems to want something but not…

  • Apologetics: Conclusion

    Apologetics: Conclusion

    The conclusion to our current apologetics series–The 10 Commandments of Dialogue. How we dialogue with those who disagree with us is more important than winning an argument. At the end, we consider the basic proposition of the new racial justice movement (Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality) to see how we should engage the movement with…
