I’ve been working this week on a line of thought that hit me Sunday morning as I was studying for a sermon based in Numbers 20. It involves a comparison between what happened there at the rock in Kadesh and what happened 40 years prior at another rock in Rephidim (Exodus 17). Both involved a rock, water, Moses, a staff, and a complaining people. But God’s directions were very different. Therein, I believe, lies an application for our worship (which will not bolster the cause of those who appeal to the OT for present worship). Check out the article, “From Believer to Rebel,” at biblicalnotes.com and leave your feedback here. Am I overstating the case, misapplying the examples, drawing wrong conclusions? Or, is this a powerful point we ought to use with brethren of “liberal” persuasion?
