Leviticus 19:19 ‘You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your livestock breed with another kind. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you. Okay, I get the livestock bit and mixed seed bit, but I have never understood the last…

Head Coverings – Really?
1 Corinthians 11:6 Yes, if she refuses to wear a head covering, she should cut off all her hair. And since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, then she should wear a covering. Really? Is it a custom or a law? Somehow I don’t think God…
Angels
Luke 1:11 Zechariah was in the sanctuary when an angel of the Lord appeared, standing to the right of the incense altar. In church on Sunday the pastor talked about the song the angels sang to the shepherds and it got me thinking about this whole angel thing. 1. Why did God make people if…
Answering God's Questions
Micah 6:3 O my people, what have I done to make you turn from me? Tell me why your patience is exhausted! Answer me! What a heart-piercing question. How often I accuse God and am angry at Him for the things going on in my life. There have been times when I’ve cried to Him,…
Nothing Earth Shattering
I’m reading in Ezekiel still, and it’s the part where the angel gives Ezekiel all the measurements for the Temple, the division of land, the types and numbers of sacrifices, and all that. Interesting, yes, because it’s so detailed. I can imagine it was a lot to write and understand. But, I am not sure…
What's In It For Me?
Ezekiel 3:11-12 The Spirit lifted me and took me away. I went in bitterness and turmoil, but the Lord’s hold on me was strong. Then I came to the colony of Judean exiles… I sat there among them for seven days, overwhelmed. I’ve been reading a lot about the stubbornness and sinfulness of Israel and…
Punished for Obedience?
2 Samuel 24:1, 10Once again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and he caused David to harm them by taking a census. “God and count the people of Israel and Judah,” the Lord told him….But after he had taken the census, David’s conscience began to bother him. And he said to the Lord,…
Balaam Leaves Me with Questions…
Numbers 22:22 But God was furious that Balaam was going, so send the angel of the Lord to stand in the road to block his way… Okay, I realize this is out of context, but it confused me. It confused me when taken in context. Balaam was asked by the King Balak to curse “these…
The Watchman
Isaiah 21:12 The watchman replies, “Morning is coming, but night will soon follow. If you wish to ask again, then come back and ask.” Several Thoughts: My Bible says this is a message concerning Edom which is a play on words in Hebrew meaning “silence” or “stillness.” He says to come back and ask again……
How Much Do We Keep?
Question: what “rules” from the Old Testament do we keep? For example, we say that getting tattoos is bad because the Bible says not to pierce or mark our bodies (but we pierce our ears with no compulsions…), but just a few verses earlier it says not to wear clothes made from two different fibers…
