Moses -
God's Man for Challenging Times Moses was God’s man for challenging times. In spite of fierce persecution and immense frustration, Moses was able, by the grace of God, to lead the people of Israel from utter despondency to the borders of the Promised Land. Though thousands of years later, our day is ripe with challenges to the gospel. We can therefore learn from Moses’ life. We can learn what it means to walk closely with God day by day; we can learn what it means to find our all-sufficiency in the God of the Bible as we live through sometimes dreary and troublesome times. Further, it is the Christian’s great comfort that the Redeemer of Israel is the same today as he was in the days and life of Moses. Roger Ellsworth is the pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church, Benton, Illinois, USA. He has a number of books in print, including Be patient, God hasn’t finished with me, yet!; Faithful under fire; The Guide — The Bible book by book; The Guide — Christian comfort; Journey to the cross; A promise is a promise; and several books in the Welwyn Commentary series, all published by Evangelical Press.
