Moses’ Sin at Kadesh
(Copyright 03-12-2025) by Mike Ford (Oxford, Georgia) How often have you wanted God to speak directly to you and tell you His will? Most Christians have likely wished this at certain times. Would it not be great, we think, if God would just send us an e-mail, call us, or simply respond out loud to us as we pray? What if He did? What if God spoke to us and told us what to do? And what if, after telling us what to do, we failed to do it? This very thing happened to Moses. The story is recorded in Numbers 20, which we […]

Acts 15:18 ^Known^ unto God are all his works ^from […]
