    Quit Feeding The Old Man

    We all were born with a carnal nature. It does not matter how sanctified you think you have become, I must tell you that your " old nature" has not been eradicated. It is our ongoing task to keep him buried and "put under".

    Have you noticed that many things in life do not seem to change? For example, in our text, God delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt. But once they were delivered from Pharaoh, he changed his mind and decided to pursue after them and to bring them back.

    When the Israelites saw them in pursuit, the Bible says, “…They were sore afraid…” In that fear they turned to Moses and said something that was very disturbing. We read, “…And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore ...read more
