Dr. Carolyn Dirksen posed the question – “What is Pentecostal about Lee University?” to the Lee U new faculty group (2010-2011) during our retreat this past May. She, like any great teacher, was giving us the opportunity to discuss and share ideas in a rather open-ended manner. There were many insightful remarks, and I have [...]

I recently went with a group of Lee University students to a medical missions conference in Louisville, Kentucky. Now, I have a Ph.D. in math, not in biology, so these students were gracious enough to include me in the festivities, even though I don’t really know exactly where my liver is! I had an awesome [...]
Chapter 24 contains an account of a man who had “blasphemed the Name.” The judgment God declared upon him was stoning! Now, to me, that is a hard passage to reconcile in my mind. In our day, someone who had cursed or blasphemed the name of God would not be stoned to death. In fact, [...]
Yes. I’m still reading through Leviticus. I really enjoyed today’s passage for several reasons. Chapter 19 starts out listing various laws – it sounds much like the 10 commandments, just more detailed. I found verse nine rather comforting. There is actually a command to the people of God not to be greedy. They are to [...]
The most remarkable thing that I see in these passages (Leviticus 13-18) is how important the priests were to Israel. The priest wore so many hats! He diagnosed sicknesses and healing, he inspected homes for mold, quarantined people and places which were “unclean,” offered sacrifices for many different reasons, etc. He dealt with so many [...]
Once again, there is much in this passage that needs further study in order for me to understand it fully. Yesterday, I read about the different kinds of offerings. Today, chapter eight begins with an account of the consecration of Aaron and his sons. I think that is a very logical progression. Someone has to [...]
This portion of Scripture describes in detail the different types of sacrifices in the Old Testament. I must admit, I did not understand much of what I read today. I do not understand all the different types of offerings. There are great resources out there concerning the types of offerings, so maybe I need to [...]
Hello everyone, Sorry for the lack of posting in the past few months. Shannon and I have been very busy and “wow!” do things change quickly! :biggrin: I wanted to give you all an update to let you know how God is working in our lives. I have been hired at Lee University as Assistant [...]
Shannon and I went to Georgia this past weekend to visit our new baby nephew, Alex Emanuel Acosta. He was born Wednesday, June 14, 2009, weighing 8 pounds and measuring 21.75 inches in length. I was amazed! How beautiful he is, and precious, and innocent. I am amazed at how wonderful God is – that [...]
