This past Sunday, October 15 at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor cautioned us to build upon a firm foundation, as we looked at Deuteronomy 34:1-4. We see that God shows Moses the Promised Land, and then God speaks to Moses. God's showing is what we call general revelation, and God's saying is specific revelation. We often have spiritual experiences with what God shows--sunsets, beautiful landscapes, microscopic detail of our bodies--yet it's not enough. We must also ask, "What has the God of the universe said to me? about how I live my life?" We come to worship the God who has spoken to us, and he doesn't need to say anything "new."
