Each Friday, I like to share some thoughts, learnings, and reflections from my quiet times during the week. I hope they’re encouraging and helpful!

Be blessed this week,

Pastor Hugh

There is a distinction between man’s relative truth and God’s holy authoritative truth.

“You are to distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean,” Leviticus 10:10

Jesus atoned for our sins to make us clean before God.

"For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.” Colossians 1:19-20

The knowledge of sin brings the guilt of sin and the guilt of sin requires the repentant confession of sin.

“ when he realizes his guilt in any of these and confesses the sin he has committed, he shall bring to the Lord as his compensation for the sin that he has committed,” Leviticus 5:5-6

All sin is not premeditated and is revealed by the work of sanctification by the Holy Spirit.

” Speak to the people of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally in any of the Lord's commandments about things not to be done, and does any one of them,’” Leviticus 4:2

All of God’s commands are to be faithfully completed.

“This Moses did; according to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.” Exodus 40:16

It is evident to all when a person has spent time with God.

“When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.  Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.” Exodus 34:29-30

The life of a born-again believer is lived according to the desires and ways of God, not the society nor the culture of man.

“And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ’Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.’’” Leviticus 19:1-2
