At One-Ment - Leviticus 16

Once a year, the high priest entered the Holiest place on earth and offered sacrifice for the people's sins. This particular day came with many rules and regulations to avoid offending God. Here are a few that God gave to Aaron.
Come at the set time each year
Bring a
Bull - sin offering
Ram - burnt offering
Take a bath
Put on
Tunic
Underwear
Sash
Turbin
Take from the people
Two male goats - sin offering 
Ram - burnt offering

Offer the bull for your (Aaron's) own sins.
Present the two goats at the entrance of the meeting tent

Throw dice for the two goats to see which one will be sacrificed and which one will be sent into the desert as the scapegoat. You will slaughter the bull for your family's sins.

You will take a censer of burning coals from the altar and some finely ground incense. You'll put that on the inner altar to make enough smoke to hide the Ark of the Covenant, and then you can go into the Holiest place. 

And that is just the first thirteen verses of this unique chapter. Minutiae? Crazy stuff? If someone asked us to do all of this these days, we'd tell that someone to go jump in the lake. It's strange and weird. So what does it all have to do with anything?

If you look objectively at Leviticus these days, you will be baffled by the blood and gore. Yet, since this is the third book of the Bible, we must not blow it off as a mere Lorem Ipsum text. It is important. But why?

One author says, "The Book of Leviticus, like others in the Old Testament, offers ... lessons for today's people of faith. One example is the enduring truth in Leviticus 11:44: 'For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy.' "In many ways, the Book of Leviticus schools people of faith about God's holiness. It also clarifies God's expectations for his people. For example, the necessity of ritualistic sacrifice and atonement preceded Jesus' sacrifice in the New Testament."

A Holy God, plus sinful man, leads to a need for approximation. Holiness is the goal, and it is also impossible to attain. Leviticus shows us just how impossible with all of its rules, regulations, and bloody sacrifices. Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.

What Are You Worth?

What are you Worth?  Have you ever thought about what you are worth? In investing circles there is a term used to gauge this exact question, it's called Net Worth. You take all of your assets, like property owned, funds in your bank account, clothes, jewelry, car, etc.. You total all of these things. You then take everything you owe, like mortgage, car loan, and credit card debt, and you subtract these items from the first total. This gives you your net worth. That number represents where you are financially. Most people never stop to think about this number because they don't understand anything about it. They never have two nickels to rub together. They live from hand to mouth and know (or at least believe) nothing will ever change so, they fall into the "daily grind" mentality. Psalm 49 should be a great encouragement to such as these. The sons of Korah write about them. These sons write about all of us. They call all people everywhere to listen to their wisdom. Bo...

Abs of Steel with Glasses

Have you ever wondered why Clark Kent always took his glasses off before he turned into Superman? I hadn’t ever thought about it either until this last Saturday when I almost got sucker-punched. Wellington, one of my spunky Juniors, wanted to wrestle. He feigned a punch to my gut and I said, “Go ahead. I have abs of steel!” I think that my gym visits might be going to my head because my abs of steel are buried under a healthy layer of blubber. I have improved my six-pack but it is far from chiseled. It looks more like a quarter of a keg. Anyway, quick as a wink and with near lightening speed Wellington said, “Yeah but up here is made of glass!” as his poke went within a hair’s breadth of my glasses! I belly-laughed. His rapid reflexes and wit had caught me by surprise. And what he said was so true and funny. It was an excellent though brief lesson. I often prepare for an oncoming fray. I get ready, set and then “BLAM”! The proverbial punch comes from a totally different direction. ...

Tottering!

I was watching my one year old grandson, Brandon, today. He had on some baggy little shorts, weird flip-flops over his socks, and he was tottering. It made me think about how I often feel these days. Funny how that when we are little and "innocent" and tottering in our baggy pants, with our little potbelly sticking out from under our t-shirt we look precious. When we are older and tottering in our low slung trousers and the same potbelly, we looks pathetic! I guess that the two drastically opposite points of view are based on the viewer's chronological perspective. Brandon is growing and I'm dying. He is cute because the little guy has a lot to learn and we love to see him progress. The old guy has already had his chance at learning and what he is progressing toward is not quite so much fun to ponder. When I have these weird thoughts I praise my God because He never lets go of my hand whether a tottering little guy or an old one. And I found this verse to prove my po...
