		<description><![CDATA[What is happening in the above passage?  The people of Israel were complaining...again.  Not satisfied with having an all powerful God visibly leading them out of slavery and to a promised country of their own (while providing them food and water on the way) they began to complain about what type of food they were being provided.  They wanted meat, and they wanted it now..... This kind of self-centered world view is a rejection of the Lord, it is a rebellion against His wisdom and His calling.  The passage above states that the Lord agreed to provide their desires, and to send them meat.... The Lord will send judgment on those who refuse to repent, and instead focus on their fleshly desires and wants.  And what a frightful judgment it is!  To be handed over, given to the desires of your flesh!  Whoever serves sin is a slave to sin, and sin is a cruel master.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=churchsalt.com&amp;blog=5792635&amp;post=1469&amp;subd=churchsalt&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.   Matthew 16:24

Wouldn't you say that this is a profound and powerful call from our Lord to join Him as He rights the world's wrongs?  Is this not His call to join the cause of social justice, to feed starving children and protect the envirnment?  Is it not obvious this call is telling us to make a change in our world and leave a mark before we go?  No.....no, no, no.  Jesus calls us to Himself.  We are to follow Him and deny ourselves.
