FAITH5 Journals

The Lord God made an absolutely beautiful world, but Adam and Eve messed up big time and got kicked out of paradise. Now they and their descendants are trying to make it back to the Garden, but here's a clue: They'll never make it on their own!

The Creator is going to have to come up with a people, a place and a new plan to save them.

Moses is dead. General Joshua stands on the edge of the land promised four hundred years earlier to God's people. They are ready to enter, but the inhabitants of the land aren't exactly happy to see them coming.

God leads Israel with generals and judges, prophets and kings as they carve out their place and struggle to remain faithful to God amid wars, prosperity and temptations.

Lost sheep. Scattered seeds. Late night visitors. Buried treasure. Wedding feasts with empty seats. Houses built on rock and sand. Jesus knew how to tell stories. Some were delighted by his parables. Others saw them as dangerous and wanted him dead! Humor, vibrance and the delightful drawings of a pastor who never grew up come together in this unique blend of the parables of Jesus and 15 key Psalms.

Something strange and wonderful was about to take place.

A new star was shining, a young girl was beaming, star-gazers and soothsayers were on the move to find a new king and angels were popping up all over the place announcing that God was getting ready to break into the world! What was this star? Who was this girl? And what was this "Good News" that the angels were announcing?

Riots. Jailbreaks. Shipwrecks. Stonings. Miracles galore. Assassination plots. Daring escapes. Empires in revolt and a world turned upside down.

All this because of a wandering rabbi and his ragtag band of followers who claim he was raised from the dead! How did it happen? Who started it? Who could stop it?

And where would it all end?

The Hebrew slaves were free! They wandered in the wilderness in search of a home, a land, and an identity. God gave Ten Commandments to shape and mold them into a people after God's own heart. What do a bunch of 4000 year-old laws have to do with a young life today? You don't have to dig too deep to learn the answer: plenty!
