Thought for Today“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all

goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness. . . . But everything exposed by the light becomes visible. . . . This

is why it is said: ‘Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’ Be very careful, then, how you live”

(Eph. 5:8-15).

Hurricane TipPregnant Women - If possible visit your doctor or midwife before the

hurricane strikes  to ensure that you and your baby are fine.

 

The Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, as revealed in Leviticus 16, is the most solemn Old Testament ritual. It is deliberately placed in the heart of the book of Leviticus, which is itself at the center of the Five Books of Moses, in order to help to illustrate the “most holy” character of this ritual. Also referred to as the Sabbath of Sabbaths (Lev. 16:31), the day calls for the cessation of all work, which is unique for an Israelite yearly festival. This fact places the day squarely within the concept of the Sabbath—a time to rest in what God, as Creator and Redeemer, has done (and will do) for us.
