“One Like a Son of Man” Revisited
The parallel imagery we find in Daniel and The Revelation are striking, but there has been one phrase troubling me for months as I completed a study of Daniel, then another in The Revelation. I recently wrote about the interpretation of the phrase “one like a son of man” in Daniel 7:13, but was having…
Lessons from “a Son of Man”
I recently read a commentary on Daniel’s Dream of the Four Beasts (Daniel 7:1-28) and was awestruck at the way the author described verse 13 as Daniel witnessing Christ being glorified by God in the presence of the heavenly multitude, five hundred and fifty some odd years before the sojourn of Jesus on the…
Unicorns in My Bible – What’s Up With That?
Initially God was asking Job questions about animals to demonstrate how little Job knew about them when compared to God, who created them and knew everything about them. Beginning with verse 9, the questions are surely rhetorical as God uses sarcasm (much like my mother did when I was young) to put Job in his place.

If God Is In Control, Why Do I Feel This Way?
God is in control… But for me, this weekend has been one of mixed feelings that I am sure many of you can relate to. I have had to remind myself over and over… God is in control! It seems my world was turned inside out by one event after another, and I can only…
Electronic Gossip
Upon close examination, you will find that much of the seemingly well intended email you receive is filled with gossip, rumors, and lies. It is designed to make masses of people believe something that is not true, and as surely as Satan is laughing at how easy we are to fool, it is working to dumb our society down into little more than sheeple who will follow anyone that speaks what they want to hear with more than a little charisma. (I am tempted, but I won’t name names.)
Get Ready for the Future of Food
So let’s get on to the nuts and bolts of what has come together over the past few years. It all began when two guys got together and had a brainstorm idea to start a coffee company. They understood that a commodity, coffee, is something that almost everyone drinks every day. It is legal and we are largely addicted. What if they could produce the best tasting coffee in the world? What would that look like?
Making Disciples – The Blueprint for Network Marketing
I knew in advance that his topic would be about church growth and the things of God that fuel increasing revival on the small island of Cuba. What I was not prepared for was the striking resemblance between the process of discipleship he spoke of, and the network marketing industry, when it is done with honesty and integrity. No wonder so many people are attracted to network marketing… God is the genius who came up with the plan!

The Aaronic Blessing
It is found in the book of Numbers, the law that God gave to Moses. It follows the passages that detail how one takes the vow of a Nazirite to separate himself to the Lord. The Nazirite vows were specific and sacrificial, and according to the law, “…until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the LORD, he shall be holy.” Numbers 6:5 (NKJV)
That should give us a clue about just how serious this portion of scripture is, and just as the law concerning the Nazirite vows ends, God gives instruction on how the people are to be blessed by the priesthood.
