Friday January 4, 2008

On Friday this week, we continued working our way through the rest of the book of Numbers. We focused on Phineas (who stops the plague which was caused by idol worship of Baal-peor) - slightly violent but very indicative of the Lord's tolerance for sin.
We also spent quite a bit of time discussing the story of Balaam and Balak - how the donkey spoke (why is it that people accept that a donkey could speak, but not that God could speak to a 14 year old boy??). We discussed being steadfast and immovable (as Balaam started out but wasn't QUITE able to maintain.
Finally, we ended class with a cereal scripture chase.
Additionally, we all passed off Psalms 24:3-4 - everyone got it! Great job!
Next week we will focus on Proverbs 3:5-6
and we will go through the book of Deuteronomy.
