Names of God: El Moshaah

We often forget.  We see throughout history the Israelites and the church forgetting. We need to be reminded often of who God is in Scripture, church history and in our lives and churches. This is a new feature on the blog on the names of God.  Why?  Because these names are not just what God does, it is who He is.  I hope this will encourage you as you are reminded of how good, great, and awesome our God is. El Moshaah El means God &  Moshaah means saves. He is the God who saves! Our God is a God of salvation,      and to God , the Lord, belong deliverances from death. (Psalm 68:20) What it reminds me?  In this passage, it was a reminder how he would save the people from their enemies.  God rescues His people from trouble throughout the Bible.  The ultimate salvation occurred through Jesus saving us from sin through His death on the cross as well as defeating sin, death, Satan, and sickness.  I am ...

Biblical Reconciliation by Beth Guckenberger #d62013

Joshua 1:8-Meditate on it day and night.  "Sound a lion makes when it consumes it prey."  We need to consume God's Word. Nobody wants to hear stories that are still in process.  We are not exempt from worthless storylines.   There's nothing you can do to take yourself out of the game. Principles apply to all storylines no matter how dark. God's storyline-Reconciliation, Redemption, Restoration, Rescue, Repair Conflict is like cancer.  It eats away at relationships. Sulhah -covenantal table of reconciliation-person who was hurt takes initiative and offers something to say "I no longer hold this against you."  Examples of Suhlah from Genesis to Revelation:       Jacob & Laban       Joseph & Brothers       Father & Prodigal Son       Peter & Jesus       Revelation 3:20       Jesus & Lord's Supper Not defined by what I have done, but instead freed up to...
