Numbers: Organisation and Leadership

Thayer Salisbury It is unfortunate that the Book of Numbers is so little studied today. Numbers is a book with a message much needed. It is thought of as a book with boring lists of names and numbers. There is much more to the book than this. The theme of Numbers is organisation and leadership. This book reminds us that

Living Sacrifices – Then and Now

Numbers 3 When God brought his people out of Egypt he kept a covenant that he had made with Abraham (Gen. 15:12-16). God had promised that an heir would come from Abraham’s body and that his descendants would one day inherit the land of promise, after spending 400 years in Egypt.

THE JUSTICE AND AUTHORITY OF GOD

Introduction Although God does not always punish wickedness immediately, Scripture assures us justice will eventually be served. Making this point to the churches of Galatia, Paul wrote: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Our Recently Departed

Canadian sociologist Reginald Bibby has for decades been documenting the downward trend of attendance among churches in Canada that identify as ‘Christian’1. Religious ‘affiliation’ has not translated into personal involvement, nor is the spiritual life of congregations still at the front of the line.

Numbers: Crises and Redemption

Reading: Numbers 20:1-13 This article is a collection of principles that we learn from a fairly surface reading of the book of Numbers. The book of Numbers is a mixture of story-telling and legislation. The story part is not in a strictly chronological order nor is it a complete story. It omits most of what happened during the 38 years

Back Home in Eswatini

Our return trip was uneventful. We left Fort Wayne on the morning of July 25 and arrived home on the afternoon of July 27. We may not be as lively as we once were, but we are still good travellers. We were unpacked and getting back into a routine within a couple of days. Surgery Of course, we will not

Abraham Believed God

Anyone reading the high-level summary of the life of Abraham in Romans 4 would never guess that the ‘father of the faithful’ did not always live up to that name. The story of Abraham begins in earnest in Genesis 12 when God called Abraham with these words: “Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country, And from your

The Jesus of History and The Search for the Historical Jesus

Part Two: Criteria of Authenticity Part two brings us to a discussion of how critical scholars understand the development of the bible. Most would suggest that Paul’s letters are the earliest Christian material, usually pointing out that Paul contains no reference to when Jesus lived, the virgin birth, miracles stories or to bodily resurrection. The only source(s) that would be

What is the meaning of life?

This question is often asked by someone who feels that his life has little meaning. He wonders who he is and why he is here. Maybe a better question is: “How can I find meaning in life?” or even “How can I make my life meaningful?” The Bible gives God’s answers to these questions! Your life can have meaning, from a Christian perspective,
