While Moses went up on the mountain to receive the tablet of testimonies, the Israelites started freaking out (Exodus 32). This happens to us all the time. We are waiting on God, and His answer seems to be taking too long for our liking. What do we do? We forget about Him and decide to… Continue reading Notes on Exodus 30-32

Notes on Exodus 25-27
The “ark of the covenant” or ark of the testimony (Exodus 25:16) is one of the most amazing artifacts ever built by man. This 5x3x3 ft. box holds a pot of manna, the Tables of the Law (ten commandments), and Aaron’s rod that represent how God feeds the unsaved, convicts the unsaved, and provided the… Continue reading Notes on Exodus 25-27
Notes on Exodus 22-24
In the middle of giving laws against stealing, having pre-marital sex, oppressing strangers, and lending money with high interest, Exodus 22: 18 says “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” What an odd placement for such an odd topic. Verse 17 is about paying a dowry of virgins to someone who sleeps with an… Continue reading Notes on Exodus 22-24
Notes on Exodus 19-21
The Ten Commandments. Almost everyone is aware of them, so I will not spend time discussing each of them. However, I will expand on some. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing. . .” I have a fascination with the concept of images. Images have power that… Continue reading Notes on Exodus 19-21
Notes on Exodus 13-15
Egypt is a “type” of the world; the sinful, secular world. Thus, when God brings the children of Israel OUT of Egyptian bondage, we see a picture of salvation. Just as God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, Christ brings us out of slavery to sin. Notice, however, the way that the Israelites react when… Continue reading Notes on Exodus 13-15
Notes on Exodus 7-12
The “ten plagues” in Exodus is one of the most well-known stories in the Bible. However, the richness of the various layers found when really looking into these supernatural events is often overlooked. I am about to share some things that I found that I have either rarely or never heard from any pulpit in… Continue reading Notes on Exodus 7-12
Notes on Genesis 41-42
I have heard the story of Joseph dozens of times in my life. The focus has always been on either Joseph being a type of Christ or as an example of how we never understand God’s plan. That when we think all is lost and our lives are worthless, God uses our suffering to bless… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 41-42
Notes on Genesis 19-21
Sodom, in the land of Canaan (Hamitic people), is the poster city for sexual perversion. The MEN there tried to rape angels in the form of MEN (homosexuality), Lot tried to placate their lust by offering his own virgin daughters (adultery, possibly even statutory rape), and those same daughters ended up raping Lot in his… Continue reading Notes on Genesis 19-21
A Masculine Manifesto
The patriarchy is alive and well. Men are the highest paid group in the United States. Over 95% of the Fortune 500 has a man as CEO, and most of the other executive positions are held by guys as well. The richest woman in the world, Liliane Bettencourt, is still only the 14th wealthiest person… Continue reading A Masculine Manifesto
Taking God for Granted
Think of all the things we take for granted in life. The concepts of white privilege and patriarchy are that white males have certain historical advantages that they never actually think about. Things are becoming more egalitarian, for sure. However, Western civilization has been, for better or worse, a product of straight white men exploiting… Continue reading Taking God for Granted
