    Moses was overwhelmed by the immorality and religious practices from Egypt brought from Egypt. He had met God who gave him the Ten Commandments to implement within the new culture. He had a Shekinah Glory experience--God on earth. The Light of God radiated in his face.

As he began to preach there appeared to be a sincere heartfelt message flowing from deep within. A middle-aged man always makes a ...read more

The Lord Jesus is not the exclusive property of any group or man- made religious system. Nobody can mold Him into one particular behavior to suit ...read more
