Read a little. Think a lot. Apply the lesson. Share with others. Repeat. And repeat. And repeat. How is it possible for a little child to learn what is, to them, a foreign language in a few short years without any formal training? In fact, if children grow up in a multilingual home, they can […]

What can we give to the Lord that He hasn’t first given to us? Only the love of our hearts! It isn’t hard to see the theme in these verses: “Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring…an offering to the Lord…Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, […]
Here’s the challenge: try to outgive God. In this you will always find yourself a happy failure. When we get away from the Lord, the only thing to do is to go right back to the place we got off the track. In other words, to go forward, we need to go back. The Lord […]

After one last reminder about the importance of the Sabbath, the Lord “gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony…written with the finger of God” (Ex 31:18). Meanwhile, back at the camp…what was this? Exodus 32 begins with: “the […]
First observe to see needs; then serve to bless others; and reserve all glory to God for the results. Exodus 31 introduces us to workmen A and B, “Aholiab…of the tribe of Dan” (v 6) and “Bezalel…of the tribe of Judah” (v 2).
