JANUARY 6, 2022 Exodus 34:23-24 “Three times in the year all your men shall appear before the Lord, the Lord God of Israel.

JANUARY 4, 2022 Exodus 34:15 “…Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice.” I have always found it interesting that so many missteps and failures on the part of God’s […]
January 3, 2022 Exodus 34:15 “…Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice.” There are very important biblical concepts to consider in this verse.
