And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. And He said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the Lord.” (Numbers 12:5-8a ESV)
The Lord is a jealous God, but I’m a jealous servant. Jealous of Moses that is.

I just finished Leviticus. It wasn’t too dry of a read actually, but 19:27-28 is why everyone throws it out as not useful. I don’t understand it, but its in the bible, so I believe it. Other than those two verses, pretty much everyone would still agree the laws in it are good. And still, the law hasn’t changed and neither has the punishment, but Jesus paid it for us. My old justification for why tattoos and getting haircuts (ie 19:27-28) has been thrown out of the window after reading it in context. I really just don’t understand it, but if a haircut was a sin, why would I not feel convicted about it? Is the Holy Spirit not doing that anymore? Of course not, He does it all the time! There is obviously something I just don’t get. One thing I do know, Jesus is the Lamb and “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”
He is unclean
Twenty-Four and Nineteen
You are unclean
.
An eye for an eye
The bar is set too high
You will lose tonight
.
Comfort, Comfort He cries
Forty and Sixty-Five
In another bed you lie
.
Foretelling of truth
Rejection for pleasure
To what will you measure
.
His birth and death
Two, the Twenty-Three
To forgive you and me
.
New life is gained
The old is slain
To all who praise His name
.
Worthy is He to come
Five, then Twenty-One
Weep no more
.
His kingdom on earth
All given new birth
Joy is to come!

About three months ago, I blogged about how I wanted to start a prayer ministry (http://zachkolk.tumblr.com/post/38999631829/prayer). It was birthed out of me going to a worship night (called ps150). ps150 is a ministry that exists solely to give college age students an environment where they can worship God through music. Without Ceasing will be an environment to worship him through prayer. We will be praying for the needs of the people who come, for our city, our churches, and the church; as well as just lifting His name high.
It is my goal for Without Ceasing to be reoccurring; a ministry, not a night. The first one will be this Thursday, April 25 from 8:00-9:00PM. 4901 Pine St. is next-door neighbors to Winter Park Elementary School. If you come, please park in their parking lot and walk over, there will be signs or people showing you the way.
Anyone is welcome to come, please invite anyone you can to come.
