Exodus 3:1-12
1/14/2007
A God of our own making is so small we can put him in our pockets and so obedient we can snap our fingers and get him to do our bidding. The powerful God described in the Bible rules with purposes that are always good and right and is not so predictable. He is like fire. Get on the right side of the fire and you have warmth, light and a continual source of energy. Get on the wrong side and you are consumed.

When you take the time to see how the living God has chosen to reveal himself in this book we claim is our final authority for what we believe and how we behave, you may be ashamed at all the attempts you have made to dress Jesus up so more people will like him.

It is more than a wall that stands between you and destruction, Christian. God made the one who had no sin to be sin for you, so that in him you might become the righteousness of God. The Lamb was not your example or your helper. He was your substitute.

The God of Israel will have his way. He will make himself known and will do what is best for the fame of his name. Does that bother you? Does it make you afraid he'll take your health or one of your children? Remember that anything he does for his glory is also for our good because he is good. There is no place for fear for those who see who their God is.

The commands of God reveal the character of God that we do not naturally possess. There is a way to get a heart that hates lying and murder and loves truth and mercy, but it only comes one way.

All through the Scripture you see the presence of God as a call to worship. When you find out where he lives you want to go there and meet with him. Moses did that.

Exodus 33:12-23
3/11/2007
It is the presence of God that distinguishes his people from those who are not. No one would know this nation belonged to him if he did not show up. This text does not call the believer to approach God flippantly, but it does call him to approach God.

Exodus 40

Approaching God is like approaching the sun. You cannot live without it, but you cannot go there as you are now. What do you do with a God like this, a God who is both immanent and transcendent, who invites his people to draw near, but only on his terms?
