Numbers 12:1-3, 5, 10, 13
“Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married (for he had married an Ethiopian woman). They said, “Has the LORD only spoken through Moses? Has he not also spoken through us?” And the LORD heard it. (Now the man Moses was very humble, more so than any man on the face of the earth.)
And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent; he then called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward.
When the cloud departed from above the tent, Miriam became leprous as snow. Then Aaron looked at Miriam, and she was leprous!
Then Moses cried to the LORD, “Heal her now, O God.”
Miriam - background.
Psalm 100:3
We are his people. We are the flock in his field.
Are there wolves among us? The better question is am I a wolf?
1. Virtual Values? バーチャルバリュー？
Valuing digital purchases. Value being right more than doing right? Value being right more than feeling right? I have been doing pastoral stuff for 22 years. Offense destroys unity. We know the schemes of the enemy. He likes to twist our words and pull socket from socket to separate the body. The opposite spirit. Bless those that curse you. Radical commitment to unity.
Psalm 133:1
Ephesians 4:1-3

Matthew 5:7
Numbers 12:13
Moses pleaded on behalf of his sister. Defy the devil. Worship when things are bad. Rejoice when things are sad. This is our victory. When you put the cross over feelings you will cross over to peace.
