Worship Is Costly (Exodus 37) [12/31/2022]

I’ve had quite the year (this is why I didn’t make many posts, and also I didn’t make a Christmas post this week, either, sorry…) —- there’s a lot of gold the Israelites used for this project, so we should remember we might need a lot of resources to honor Christ with by giving to those in need. This chapter is found in pages 54-55 of my NKJV Bible, page 70 of my NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 117-118 of my VOICE copy, and pages 113-114 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

Six people I knew died this year (the first was done in by police, and this happened around MLK Day, which is thoroughly outrageous, indeed, she was black ‼️ and another friend killed herself 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 I don’t want anyone else to relive these nightmarish scenarios) —- only one made it past 32! Weird, huh? But I learned in February that the Greek for Revelation 12:11 actually says the believers literally exposed themselves to death… all of us in Christ might have to do the same. Of course, not everyone will be martyred, but even though it’s absolutely tragic when someone gets killed for doing good in the world, the Lord Jesus very handsomely rewards those who die for Him. Indeed, I looked over the laws going into effect tomorrow morning here in AZ, and while I haven’t seen restrictions on Christianity here yet, even after reading the article just now, I’m always nervous about the Christian faith getting clobbered by those in power… yet I think the people have more interest in actually trying to make Jesus obey them. 1 Corinthians 10:9 says that we should never put Jesus to the test, as some of the wilderness wanderers did, and were destroyed by serpents (Numbers 21:4-9). One law will soon allow everyone at least 21 years old to publicly drink but only at Tempe Marketplace and Desert Ridge, the 101 being near both. Maybe it’ll help reduce alcoholism? I don’t know, but even though I don’t drink, too many restrictions on something are bad. Still, we’ll see what happens πŸ‘€
