The life of faith is a spiritual journey beginning at the moment of new birth (regeneration) through personal faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, and continuing onward and upward from spiritual infancy—through the stages of spiritual growth— into maturity and beyond. I refer to it as the journey “from the cross to the crown.”
  
The little book of Titus, one of Paul’s “pastoral epistles,” provides a short-course on the life of faith. As we explore the great and timeless truth contained in this epistle, we will refer again and again to the “life of faith” and the journey “from the cross to the crown,” and to the many promises and provisions supplied by God in His matchless grace for those who choose to live in the light of the cross.
This was the subject of the Spring 2011 Conference in Canberra, Australia.

Life of Moses #8

The first five plaques judged Egypt's idols; the 2nd five were personal. Moses is being transformed (spiritual growth). They show the increasing hardening of Pharaoh's heart (he hardening his own heart). Judicial hardening (Exo 9:8-12, Rom 2:4). God had been good to Egypt; that should lead us to repentance. The gifts from God are to point us to Him -- evidence of His character (Act 14:17, Act 17:27, Jam 1:17). God has put eternity in man's heart (Ecc 3:11). Visible creation has evidence of God (Rom 1:18-20); when men reject God, they loose His blessings. Boils and hail - the sixth plague also in tribulation (Rev 16:1-21). God's purpose for Pharaoh is His Glory (Exo 9:13-17, Rom 9:17, Isa 43:7, Psa 76:10). God is able to draw a line between His people and Satan's (Exo 9:18-26). Pharaoh sins more with more plagues(Exo 9:27-35, 1Th 5:9). Men seek death because of the locust plague during the tribulation (Rev 10:1-29). Moses now calls the shots in Egypt; he has grown into the man and leader God intended.

After 40 years in the Egyptian palace then 40 years in the desert then 40 years leading Israel to their land Moses' life can actually teach us about living in the time we live.
