What to Do When God Wants To Kill You

As far as inspiring stories go, there is hardly a better source than the Bible. It is filled with incredible (sometimes, literally in-credible) stories about an incredible God using incredible people to bring the rescuing, healing life and love of Jesus into a broken and dying world. Yet sometimes the stories of the Bible can only be described as confusing and bizarre... like the time when, after freeing Israel from racial, political and economic oppression, apparently decided to kill Moses. Everything about the story is weird. God acts like a murderous lunatic, the complete opposite of what we see in Jesus. And yet, what if even here God is still showing us what it means to be God's person in and for the world?
