After leaving Egypt, the Israelites journeyed along the north Sinai road. After three encampments, they struck out into the wilderness under Moses' direction. They found no water after a journey of three days, but then came to a place called Marah, where there was water.

However, the water at Marah was bitter and they could not drink it. The Bible records that Moses then threw a tree in the water and the water became drinkable (sweet). Where did this happen? How could bitter water become sweet?

On this episode Steve and Jennifer discuss continuing research and discoveries from Dr. Gerald Aardsma on the route of the Exodus, and bring a real-world answer that you have never heard before to the mystery of this familiar story! Knowing the right date leads us to the correct location of Marah... which then, once again, leads to a deeper understanding of the biblical account.

How would you handle a child, grandchild, or some other young person displaying serious doubts about the Bible? What can practically be done to empower this generation with the real-world truth of God's Word?

The message of the Bible gives purpose. It is a message of hope, of repentance, redemption, and restoration to the guilty sinner and to this fallen world. But these messages of such great importance are only taken to heart and acted upon to the extent that they are believed in the mind to be true.

So, is it all really true? Our children and grandchildren will be faced with this question sooner or later. Even mature, established Christians may face unsettling questions:

This month we discuss practical steps that can be taken to help Christians anchor their faith to the real world. We must close the divide between the physical world and the spiritual world, so that we come to see God's workings in the world (past, present, and future) to be as real as the dirt we stand on, the water we drink, and the life we live everyday.

The points discussed on this episode are valuable for Christian parents and teachers... or anyone who desires to be ready to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you.
