Search the Bible at BibleGateway. I decided to become an astrophysicist at the age of eight. I read all the physics and astronomy books in the children’s section of my library. My family supported my voracious appetite for knowledge. My teachers assigned me lots of extra-curricular projects in the social sciences, which eventually sparked my spiritual quest. In my last year of high school, I studied the Thirty Years’ War for one extra project. I wondered why the Catholics and Protestants shed so much blood over trivial doctrine. I posed tough questions to my teacher, who sent me off to the library to read books on comparative religions. Read More... Tunnel Vision. In 1971, the troubles in Northern Ireland were increasingly becoming a danger to me and to my six children. We listened to horror stories of suffering every day on the radio.

Oh! the amazing word of God. Let's continue our thought a little further concerning the Laver. You will discover in (Ex. 38:8) the women of Israel freely gave up their brass mirrors to make the bronze laver for the tabernacle. What an amazing thing this was, these women were giving up their last chance to see themselves in the mirror for the next forty years. In (Exodus 35:5) Moses ask whoever was willing, let him bring an offering to the Lord, the people in an overwhelming way brought so much to the altar that they were ask to stop. Moses sent a message throughout the camp that man nor women were to do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary, I say wow! isn't this beautiful, note! (Exodus 36:6, 7). The estimated cost for the tabernacle was 30 million dollars. Oh! that we as God's children will dedicate ourselves to the cause of Jesus Christ and together do what we can for God's Kingdom work, please understand this, God wants to use you, yes you.
