Our Passage in Translation this week comes from two scriptures, Matthew 27: 28-29 and John 19:1-5.

We call your attention to a re-posted feature article. I am sure that most of you are aware of the recent court ruling in the State of California allowing gay marriage. Many same-sex couples have been rushing to the altar in the State of California to be joined together in matrimony. In reading the newspaper articles and listening to the discussions on television, I was reminded once again, of my article posted here on our Web site in October 2003. I thought, once again, how appropriate it was in view of current court rulings and discussions on the subject. Therefore, we are posting the article again for your enlightenment and welcome any comments you might have regarding the article.

What’s in a name? We all have one! What does a name mean to your own personal identity? When your parents named you, generally they put a lot of thought into it. Names are a part of every culture and they are of enormous importance both to the people who receive names and to the societies that give them. Despite their universality, however, there is a great deal of difference from one culture to another in how names are given. That takes us to our Passage in Translation for this week which comes from Exodus 19:2-6 and 3:14-15 and a study of the name of God. To read this week’s passage and Dr. Blizzard’s comments on this subject, scroll down and click on the most recent Passage in Translation.

This week our Passages of study come from Exodus Chapters 31 and 35. Did you ever stop and wonder how the Israelites knew how to do all of the highly skilled craftsmanship that was required to build the Tabernacle, the portable dwelling place of God’s presence from the time of the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt through the conquering of the land of Canaan. After all, for more than 400 years the enslaved Hebrews had basically done nothing but build mud bricks for the Pharaohs of Egypt.

You may have noticed that our travel study tour to the Mediterranean is no longer posted on our Coming Events page. We deeply regret having to cancel our trip to the Mediterranean area scheduled for August 2008 based on the advice of our travel agent. Circumstances in the Middle East and upcoming changes in the political situation in some of the countries on our agenda caused us to postpone the trips until next year after we see what the outcome of some of these changes will be. Additionally, the economic situation and escalation of gas prices has made it very difficult to negotiate with the international. Taking everything into consideration, we felt that we had to make the decision to postpone this trip until a later date. We apologize for any inconvenience that this might cause and pray that you will understand why we had to make this decision.
