Old Testament Tabernacle

Last week’s post dealt with encountering God and the reason he encamped with his people. Seeing a replica of the tabernacle in person gave me a whole new insight into how God planned out this Holy Place.  It also fascinated me that God inserted so much symbolism in the Old Testament tabernacle to show us

Encountering God

I recently experienced a guided tour of a life-size Old Testament tabernacle set up at our church.  It coincided with a sermon series about encountering God.  The Tabernacle Experience transports you back in time into Old Testament life and explains the history, building, and rituals performed within the Tabernacle.  Walking through the courtyard, offering a

Why Do We Call God Father?

We just celebrated Father’s Day with my husband.  Our children are adults, and we have called a moratorium on gifts.  We don’t need more “stuff” and the best gift is to spend time with them.  Even a phone call or a video chat with the far-flung children is a great gift. My Dad passed away

While searching for our purpose, we learned that our ultimate purpose in life is to love God wholeheartedly.  From there, we are to love others with his compassion.  Jesus specifically instructs us to “love your neighbor as yourself.”   He understood the importance of self-love.

We’ve all known love in our lives but changing human emotions limit our love. In this week’s blog, we will soak up the essence of what “God is love” means.  God’s unfailing love knows no human boundaries and is impossible to fully comprehend. We’ve heard it as children in the song- “Jesus Loves Me” and

We Have an Altar

I’ve had a song stuck in my head for a week.  It’s “Come to the Altar” by Elevation Worship.  The words “come to the altar” sound like a blessed invitation.   Altars are strictly symbolic now, but I wanted to dig a little deeper into the subject. We have an altar- our hearts. So this week,

Faith and Forgiveness

   Where in the Bible are the words “Your faith has saved you”?  There are quite a few accounts of Jesus speaking those words, however, the first one I found struck a chord. You will find this teaching of faith and forgiveness in Luke 7:36-50 and it contrasts the attitudes towards Jesus by a “sinful”
