Morning Light - Numbers 22

[Today: Numbers 22] The Error of Balaam. In this chapter, one of the descendants of Lot hires Balaam the prophet to prophesy against the Israelites. Who was Balaam? What does the New Testament refer to when speaking of the "Error of Balaam"? We hear of such things and blithely distance ourselves thinking we would never do any such thing. Still, a closer examination will help us see how close we come to making the mistakes – Balaam's costly mistakes in this situation.
