The Levites spread throughout the Land of Canaan
Levi had sinned against his father. Therefore, the Lord spread the tribe of Levi throughout the Land of Canaan, so that they could not call any particular region their own. Part of First Chronicles 6 shows the various places where they lived, “To the rest of the family of the tribe of the Kohathites they gave by lot ten cities from half the tribe of Manasseh. And to the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, they gave thirteen cities from the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan. To the sons of Merari, throughout their families, they gave twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun. So the children of Israel gave these cities with their common-lands to the Levites. And they gave by lot from the tribe of the children of Judah, from the tribe of the children of Simeon, and from the tribe of the
children of Benjamin these cities which are called by their names” (1 Chronicles 6.61–65). Christians are now the priests of the Lord, as the Levites once were, and the Lord has spread Christians throughout the world, so that we cannot call any region on Earth, the Christian region, but like the levitical priests we exist to serve the rest of humanity, primarily by teaching, and by any good works that need to be done.

Why the Father was always with Jesus
Jesus did the mighty things that we see in the Scriptures because the Father was always with Him. Why was the Father always with Jesus? Jesus said, “And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him” (John 8.29). Jesus always did what pleased the Father. Therefore, the Father was always with Jesus. Can that picture your life? Do you always do the things that please our heavenly Father? DR

Proclaiming Evidence for Truth
THIS WEEK'S CREATION MOMENT
Scientist Fired for Dinosaur Discovery
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. – 1 John 4:6
If there is an unwritten law in the field of science, it is this: Thou shalt not discover anything that even suggests that evolution could be wrong. And a second unwritten law is like unto it: If you do discover anything that
undermines evolution, keep it to yourself.
A scientist was fired from his job at California State University, Northridge, after discovering fossil evidence that supports a young earth and then publishing his findings. While at a dig at Hell Creek formation in Montana, scientist Mark Armitage came upon the largest triceratops horn ever unearthed at the site. When he examined the horn under a high-powered microscope, he was shocked to see soft tissue. This discovery stunned other scientists because it indicated that dinosaurs roamed the earth only thousands of years ago rather than 60 million years ago.
In Armitage's wrongful termination and religious discrimination lawsuit, court documents revealed that a university official challenged his motives by shouting at him, "We are not going to tolerate your religion in this department!" Armitage joins a growing number of scientists and educators who have lost their jobs for challenging the sacred cow of evolution. Many institutions of higher learning are no longer interested in pursuing the evidence wherever it may lead. They only care about evidence that leads them straight to their foregone conclusion that evolution is a fact. Creationists, however, need not fear any new scientific discovery because nothing can successfully contradict the Word of God!

Sermon Handouts and Thought for the Week Brethren, this has been a rough year for me health-wise, possibly because my OHSU nephrologist started me on a new immunosuppressant that makes me sleepy during the day, and having bronchitis for four weeks. Therefore, I have not been able to produce Sermon Handouts and Thoughts for the Week. Thank you for your patience with me.
