Pastor Kevin Adams, left, prays with Towanda Sherrell, center, on Sunday at Olivet Baptist Church. The church took part in a national event, “Live Free Sabbath,” aimed at helping affected by gun violence. Sherrell provided firsthand testimony about gun violence. Her son, James, was shot and killed in 2011. Sherrell herself was shot in the neck 23 years ago.Wanted: A body was found buried in the Egyptian sand. The murderer has fled to Midian and is on the loose. He is armed with a rod and can be considered armed and dangerous.
Wanted: A gang leader of the group known as “Thirty Mighty Men” is wanted for multiple charges, especially for conspiracy to commit murder. The evidence for his crime is overwhelming and he has already been declared guilty.
Wanted: A man who has committed multiple home invasions is wanted for causing the torture and possible death of several people who call themselves “Followers of the Way.” He refers to himself as “Chief Sinner.” He was last seen heading for Damascus in Syria to continue his attacks.
No, this is not an attempt to create a new “America’s Most Wanted.” This is simply what would have been on Twitter feeds if such a thing existed in the days of the Bible. The men listed above are not known today as fugitives or thugs. They are known as three of the greatest men in the Bible. Their names are Moses, David and Paul. These men changed the world because God changed them.
Before Moses delivered his people from Egyptian bondage, he needed deliverance himself. Moses murdered a man and did 40 years in exile as a result. (Ex. 2:11-15). During that time, Moses received on-the–job training as a shepherd and learned how to survive in the wilderness. At the end of 40 years, God came to Moses and called him to fulfill his destiny and purpose to deliver his people from slavery into promise. Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible.
