Present in His Presence (Exodus 23)
“No one shall appear…” Every Christian has the moral obligation to present himself or herself before God each and every day. In the morning, we must present our life as an offering to the Lord, just as we present our requests to God in prayer. “…before me…” Christ is the…
Remember (Exodus 22)
“…for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.” One day, as I was driving through an old Miami neighborhood, I noticed a group of teenagers of bad reputation which were smoking, drinking and cursing. I couldn’t help but to…
Douleou (Exodus 21)
“…and he shall serve him for life.” I am not a Greek scholar by any stretch of the imagination, but I learned somewhere that Douleou is a Greek word which means “to serve as a slave.” In the New Testament, this word is applied to believers in Christ, and…
The Malice of Avarice (Exodus 20)
“You shall not covet…” To covet is a terrible sin. A covetous individual is like a small child, who always wants to play with his friend’s toys; he is also like the cow that looks for “greener pastures” on the other side of the fence. God tells…

Hit and Run (Exodus 17)
“Strike the rock, and water will come out of it…” The power of God is immensurable. He is able to create something out of nothing; he can make water to flow out of a dry rock. God’s power and love have changed our lives forever. Water from a dry…
All I Need (Exodus 16)
“….nothing over…no shortage;” I still remember a story I heard in a Steve and Annie Chapman’s concert. Their testimony was this: One Monday morning they paid all the monthly bills and all that was left was enough for a loaf of bread for the rest of the week. They…
To Sin or to Sing (Exodus 15)
“Then Moses and the Israelites sang…” God made the impossible to be possible. He divided the waters of the Red Sea and “turned the sea into dry land…” (v.21). Dry land! Can you fathom the greatness of this miracle? Not only were the waters divided, (an incredible feat…
