Passover Holiday Meaning to the Jewish People Celebrating Freedom

The Passover is meant to celebrate the freedom of the Jewish people from the Egyptians nearly 3,300 years ago. Explained in the book of Exodus, God directed Moses and Hebrews to offer and consume roasted lamb to symbolize the Passover sacrifice.

Are We Verbally Abusing God?

I read an excellent devotional based on this text. The famous verse Exodus 20:7 says; you shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. (New International Version)

Why We Don't Pray

OmyGodIamheartilysorryforhavingoffendedThee was not an act of contrition, a prayer, or even an afterthought when I was growing up.

Now I realize the power and purpose of those words, but their early impressions on me and my play pals was enough to discourage my development of the beautiful art of prayer for many years.

A self evaluation of holy consciousness might assist us towards this process of obtaining higher consciousness.

The Real Question

The question still remains unanswered. If the creation is so complex as to require a creator, how did an even more complex and awesome creator somehow evolve?
