The name means "going out" or departure".

This book was so named because it treats of laws of service and worship of special importance to the Tribe of Levi. John Wimber: “When do we get to do the stuff?" Explore the Bible. It’s About Time. Luke 12:35-40 Anyone who knows me knows I have a hard time managing my time.

It’s About Time

No, I don't have a hard time. I just don't do it. It's not that I don't have all the tools I'm supposed to have. I've been to all the workshops. I have all the gadgets. I don't ever understand how much time something will take. Despite the national industry that exists on how to manage your time, I'm lousy at it. Biblically speaking, time is the space God has created for us to have a relationship with Him. Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.

Editor's Note: The following is a report on the practical applications of Tri Robinson's new book, Rooted in Good Soil: Cultivating and Sustaining Authentic Discipleship, (Baker Books, 2010). Jesus told a parable about a farmer who sowed plant seeds in the ground, and the story represented how people can grow spiritually. Some seed was picked away (like people picked off by evil lies), some seed didn't take root because it was planted in poor quality soil (like people who allow life's cares and troubles to distract them from making it their top priority to pursue God), and some seed couldn't grow because it got choked out by weeds (like people who allow the world's values to choke out biblical values in their lives).

Only the seed that fell on good soil grew to maturity - capable of bearing a harvest that could reproduce itself, like spiritually mature Christians who can lead others to relationships with Jesus. Let yourself be cultivated and broken. When God Says “No” ... Pray. When nobody is around and when we're able to be absolutely honest with ourselves before God, we entertain certain dreams and hopes.

We want very much by the end of our days to have _________________________ (fill in the blank). However, it may well be that we will die with that desire unfulfilled. Should that occur, it will be one of the hardest things in the world for us to face and accept. David heard the Lord's "no" and quietly accepted it without resentment. That's awfully hard to do. After four decades of service to Israel, King David, old and perhaps stooped by the years, looked for the last time into the faces of his trusted followers.

He began with the passion of his heart, pulling back the curtain to reveal his deepest desire—the dreams and plans for building a temple to the Lord (1 Chronicles 28:2). Dreams die hard. Rather than wallowing in self-pity or bitterness regarding his unfulfilled dream, David praised God with a grateful heart. Next, David prayed for others. How To Be a Growing Christian. Do you know and love the Lord Jesus Christ better today than you did last year or last week? Are you a growing Christian? If you don't love Jesus Christ more today than you did yesterday, you're backslidden. Some Christians are saved, but they're not growing. Unlike that tree Psalm 1:3 talks about, planted by the rivers of water, growing, flourishing, bearing fruit—they're like a stump.
