I have seen the land, and it is good

Pastor Wade — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:16:37 +0000

"So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land they spied out..." -Numbers 13:32

As God was leading Israel through the exodus into the conquest of the holy land he prepared the way by commanding Moses to send out twelve spies to scope out theiir new home. They saw the land, and it was good.

Because I Don’t Want to Be Told Off by My Honda ~ Numbers 22-24

Every morning I hop into my trusty 1999 Honda Accord and drive one of many routes that all lead to the same place: 7901 South Meredith. I try to conduct myself in such a way that the Honda doesn’t stop in the middle of the road and talk to me. Let me explain.

Life

Pastor Wade — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:47:00 +0000

We have a lot of babies at Living Word. We're a prolific group, dedicated to biological church growth.

One more precious eternal human soul came into Living Word's world this week, and some medical concerns surrounding her birth have reminded us how precious- and how tenuous-the miracle of life is.

January 29, 2012- Grumbling, Grousing and Quail, part 2 (Numbers 11)

2012-01-29- Grumbling Grousing and Quail, part 2.MP3

We considered Numbers 11 (in line with our congregational reading plan) on January 15. It wasn’t my best moment. I arrived at the end of my first point, glanced at the clock (which said 10:02 or so) and said, “Whoa.” I talked through it out loud, realizing that I needed at least another 30 minutes to make it all work. I’m usually not off that far. So today is part 2 of that message.

Why Your Study Bible Disagreed with Pastor Wade

Pastor Wade — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:15:40 +0000

While I didn't have a line of people waiting to burn me at the stake Sunday, I did have two people wonder why an explanation I gave specifically disagreed with the notes in their study Bibles. The point I was making was unaffected but the structure of the argument certainly was. Since different interpretations generally don't come out of thin air (people do some research when they are writing a study Bible, after all), I thought it was worth some investment.

The topic: Who were the "Hellenists" referred to in Acts 11:20?
