Through a Crack in the Door
Through a fleeting apocalyptic vision John glimpsed the mission control center of the universe focused on a resplendent Being seated on a throne, teeming with life and sound, yet turned and responsive to the slightest whisper on earth. Discover four great realities of the temple.

God on the Docket
Consider a court scene the likes of which has never been, with stakes that have never been higher. You won’t understand its full impact until you discover the identities and roles of the key players in this drama.
09/26/2009
The Temple on Yom Kippur
Rightly understood and applied to these end times, Yom Kippur has a striking parallel to American Football, which makes it especially relevant to every one of us.
10/03/2009
Outside the Curtain, Inside the Camp
What did devout believers do differently on the Old Testament’s Day of Atonement than they did on other days? Could the two biblical clues to the answer suggest some radical differences that should be occurring in the lives of believers who live in the final Day-of-Atonement era of this world’s history?
10/10/2009
The Two Goats
Though the centuries-old theological controversy still rages over their identity, the two goats involved in the ancient Day of Atonement ritual may seem far removed from the practical issues of our daily lives—until Warren Buffet enters the picture, that is!
10/17/2009
Sex in the Temple: What’s So Gay about That?
It’s one of the most difficult subjects of our day. But not one without clarity and, in many cases, without cost, as two biblical bookends to this subject make clear.

The Third Temple: The Anniversary of Charles Darwin and God
A magnificent blend of raw numbers revealing the sheer immensity of it all and personal testimony displaying the powerful emotions involved in the WOW factor of His creation.

The Fourth Temple: The Last Imitation
Mimics can be irritating; imitators, entertaining. But the seven-faceted imitation-invitation of Scripture is the focal point of the temple’s message to our generation. Miss this, and you miss God’s special appeal and promise.

Who Can Outgive God?

1 Chronicles 29:14 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.”

Our generosity is inspired by God’s generosity. In preparation for the construction of the temple, the Bible reports the generosity of Israel. First, King David gave lavishly out of his personal treasures. Then the other leaders gave willingly, following his example. Inspired by their leaders, the rest of the people gave “freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord” (v.9). Seeing such an expression of generosity, David burst into praise and mentioned the factor driving such a profusion in giving: “Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.” David considered giving as a response to what God has already provided: Election, forgiveness, presence, promises and abundance. No one can outgive God. Even if someone chooses to give everything, God has all the means to replenish that person’s resources. This was the mindset of David, a leader-giver in Israel.

Abraham, a Masai man, had a similar mindset. He was the owner of 1,000 head of cattle and large herds of sheep and goats. Acknowledging that God was the Source of his blessing, he decided to be faithful to God. He placed his cattle in large pens and counted them as they walked through a chute. Each 10th cow, Abraham dedicated as tithe for God. His friends and acquaintances were amazed. In their culture, people’s wealth is measured in cattle. One doesn’t just give away his cows! They began to mock him, and many people declared him to be crazy. But the laughter abruptly stopped nine months later when 40 of Abraham’s cows gave birth to twins! In addition, many of his goats and sheep birthed triplets!

“Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” (Num. 23:19). This week, as we worship with our tithe and regular offerings let us reflect on the truthfulness of these words in our own life.

Love in the Move Opportunity

Berrien County Department of Health and Human Services Director, Emersond Jean-Baptiste, has a challenge to every church in Berrien County to find ways to be a cornerstone in impacting the lives of children and families. There are 60 foster homes in
