~Video Version~ ------------------------------------- I’m thinking about Exodus 20:2-3 today. "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.” That’s really an invitation to love God more than anything or anyone else. Honestly, sometimes I can get distracted and things can clog up my relationship with God, hindering my capacity to experience the fullness of His love. Living in the tropics, in Indonesia, we had a well w…

~Video Version~ ------------------------ Today I’m chewing on this verse in Exodus 19:4---"You know how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.” God has just brought the people out of slavery and across the Red Sea to freedom, and they were learning how to trust Him for strength in the journey.

In a group last night it was mentioned that anything can become an idol to us. Idols for us aren’t usually statues and images, but anything or anyone that distracts us from love for God can become an idol. I love my cell phone. No, correction---I love God and …

~Video Version~ ********************** God told Moses in Exodus 3:14, “I AM WHO I AM.” That doesn’t sound like a very informative answer to the question of Who He Is. It is basically saying, “I AM,” which is an incomplete sentence, really. “I Am” requires an object. “I Am…..something.” Here is the truth: God IS the object. God IS the subject. All prepositions point to Him and He IS the verb. He IS everything required to make a complete sentence that is true! So, a period after “I am who…
