God has called His people from all levels of physical income, from poor to rich. He calls on us to adopt His perspective of what is true wealth and true poverty, and to manage our lives accordingly.

Our culture has been flooded with "fake news," distorted news reporting, and well-meaning but foolish advice from many sources. For the Christian it is not just a societal problem, it is a spiritual problem. Throughout the history of Israel and the New Testament Church, as well as in the future, the ability to discern both good and bad is a vital function of God's instruction to us. Why don't people discern correctly, and what can the concerned Christian do about becoming more spiritually discerning?

Since we are to learn from their example, what must we do to make the most of this festival?

The apostle Paul used the analogy of leaven and sin twice in his epistles—Galatians and 1 Corinthians—both written to gentile congregations. What does a “little leaven” mean? Just as with physical leavening, a small amount causes major changes. The importance of little things is a major lesson of unleavened bread.

I will tell you the most interesting Christmas story I've ever heard. That will come right after the story of a lopsided confrontation in Israel between one old man and hundreds of knife-wielding miscreants.
