Hi and welcome. Ashfield Baptist Church is a "caring community church sharing God's love". We are very diverse in our nationalities, backgrounds and ages, but united in our desire to grow spiritually and to reach out and help others. Our vision is "to be a body of Christ-like people living out the great commandment and the great commission in the Holy Spirit's power". This blog is mainly for people connected with Ashfield Baptist Church. It has been set up as an "info & chat space" as we start the "THRU IN 2" challenge. This is our program for reading the Bible right through during 2007 & 2008. Many are using the Every Day With Jesus Bible which also has daily devotions from Selwyn Hughes. As we read through the Bible together over these two years, we can use this blog to share insights, stories, reflections, questions etc. The goal is to grow spiritually together. So leave your comments. Together we can help each other grow. Blessings. Ps John.

In Deut 3:25-26, Moses seems to blame the people for causing God to be angry with him and to ban him from entering the Promised Land. (See also 1:37 and 4:21.) That's true in an indirect way. Their grumbling over lack of water led to the incident where Moses reacted inappropriately. But nonetheless, Moses is accountable for his own actions in striking the rock instead of speaking to it as God instructed (Numbers 20:7-13).
Interestingly, in Numbers 20:12, God tells Moses he is banned "because you did not trust Me to show My holiness in the sight of the Israelites". Deut 32:51 says something similar -- that Moses broke faith with God by failing to treat Him as holy in the presence of the people. We could probably all be accused of that!
