Does God know what He’s doing? (Numbers 26)

Surely God can manage a global pandemic. Maybe we tell ourselves these things, but we're looking around. We're seeing people dying. We're seeing people suffering. Does God really know what He's doing?

When God gets angry (Numbers 25)

God's anger is burning. Not because He hates us, but because He hates sin. Not because He can't stand to look at us, but because He can't stand to see us suffer. How can we be so casual?

God and Unicorns (Numbers 24)

The monologue Balaam goes on in Numbers 24 is sweeping, poetic, fantastic - practically mythological. Hey, they do always say that the Bible is a book of fairy tales!

I shall fear no evil? (Numbers 23)

For every disaster or disease or crime or pestilence, there's a sermon given by an earnest pastor who goes on and on and on about God's faithfulness and His power and His love and His protection - while smoothly skipping over the fact that plenty of people were not protected, and did indeed suffer.

The Movie of Your Life (Numbers 21)

This movie is not like other movies. It was exhilarating and action-packed, sure. It had us on the edges of our seats, yes. But it's not the kind of movie you forget about in a day or two. This movie is relevant. It's current. It makes you think. And it's still not over.

The Myth of Perfectly Imperfect (Numbers 20)

I'm exhausted. I have been trying so hard, for so long. I've been trying to be perfect. And I'm freaking sick of it. I'm done. I'm not here to be perfect. I just can't do it anymore.

The First Stage of Grief (Numbers 19)

"It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart." - Ecclesiastes 7:2 This verse used to get on my last nerve.

The Best Worst Gift God Ever Gave (Numbers 18)

A gift? Really? That? What was God thinking?

Didn’t I Tell You? (Numbers 17)

Some of the men of Judah or Dan or Naphtali or Ephraim were not pleased. They wanted a different answer. They didn't want to obey. They didn't like God's decision. They disagreed with His law. Can you believe that? Of course you can.
