As I am sitting worshiping and having a great time, I think about how little we know about the conversations that went on between Moses and God. Think about it. Everything that we know is fit within just a few pages and it is all carefully edited to give us the information we need in order to get our reservation in eternity. That’s the whole purpose of what is in the Bible. It’s not a science textbook. It’s not a DIY manual. It is the path to salvation.
I wonder if there will be a library in heaven where we can go and check out books that will share with us the conversations that God had with Moses when no one else was around. All those things that Moses never wrote down might be preserved on books on tape. We might have his original journals that we could read.
And he’s just one person that God has talked to over the centuries.
Of course, in reality, we can probably sit down with Moses and ask him ourselves, but for those of us who enjoy a good book, I look forward to getting my library card issued. Of course, in eternity we may not need library cards, we may even have individual iPads that can call everything up.
It boggles the imagination. I enjoy being boggled.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
