Recently, I check out Westminster's Bookstore and found out that they were running a CCEF Counseling Classics sale. Here is the link if you want to check it out. http://www.wtsbooks.com/category-exec/category_id/502/nm/BEST_20OF_20WTS_20SALE_21 The sale is pretty decent and if you order a lot the shipping is one flat rate. Anyway, check it out!

Tidbits in Exodus

One of my goals for this summer was to read through the Bible. I do not have a set amount that I read each day (although I probably should), but rather I read as much as I can each day. Lately, I have been crusing through Exodus which has just been awesome, and while I was going through the Egyptian bondage scene I came across a couple of things that struck me.
First, what popped out at me was the two powerful signs which God shows to Moses when he meets God at Horeb (Ex. 4) in the burning bush. Moses questions God by assuming that the children of Israel will not believe that Yahweh had sent him. So as you know God powerfully displays to Moses that He is God by turning his staff into a snake and by covering his hand with leprosy. For whatever reason, I ALWAYS thought that Moses and Aaron performed to Pharoah (via the Power of God) both of these powerful signs. However, according to the Ex. 7 account they only performed the staff and snake sign. I could not find in my reading where Moses inserts his hand into "bosom" (KJV) and it becomes leperous before Pharoah. Any insights on why I always thought that Moses performed both signs before Pharoah (other than the fact that I have watched Hesston too many times!)????

I recently found out that Mrs. Horn has been diagnosed with advanced stages of cancer. According to Pastor Sam the cancer was found in her lymph nodes and in her upper chest region. There is also a tumor in her upper chest. I would ask on the behalf of the Horn family and the body of believers at Brookside Baptist that you be in prayer for them. This has come as a heavy shock, and my heart is heavy for this family. May we all be faithful to the Lord in lifting the needs of the Horn family. Lord, may Your will be done!

April 15-17, 2008 I will be heading to Louisville, KY for this three-day conference. I cannot express my excitement right now. I am literally estatic. Last year my buddy, Richard bought all the MP3s, and I listened to them all with rapt attention. The cool part about the registration was that for students of all kind (high-school, college or seminary) taking 9 or more credits got an exceptional discount of $99! The regular rate is $249, and an early bird fee gives you (I think) a $50 0r $100 discount. But I was so excited to go I registered the day registration opened. What a geek I know, but I could not help myself.
Anyway, I'm in the process of coaxing Rich, Dano, Mike and Keith to meet me in KY next spring. We will see. I am working on them! Either way it will be a blast!
