About Me

I am a retired VA employee who lives in Texas. I consider the characters of the Bible "family" as much as any I know or have known on earth. To be one of the Lord's beloved is the greatest thing I know. What good company!

Bibledoorajar: The Man

In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair to God” ( Acts 7:20). 

     Meet David Brantley. David played Moses in the Ragtown Gospel Theater presentation of Paradise in Post, Texas on September 24th. As an elderly statesman in Paradise, I found him irresistible. He presented a Moses who seemed to be so happy to have served God in spite of all the difficulties--a man exceeding fair to God. How happy he was to meet with the Savior on the Mount of Transfiguration with Elijah.
     True to Acts 7: 25, Moses was able to see his role in “how that God by his hand would deliver them” long before the actual work began. He was an Israelite adopted by an Egyptian princess who called him her son. He was raised to experience wealth and position but decided at age forty to go and visit with his brethren and reject his royal mother. How God would use him was about to begin as he resolved to choose affliction with the people of God.
     True to Philippians 2, Christ, The Man,  saw His role also before the actual work began. “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God; But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant” ( Philippians 2:6,7). He was a Son in whom the God was well pleased and who had all God's creation at hand. He had no mother but took on the poverty of the virgin who would deliver Him. The will of God would prevail through Him in spite of afflictions. The redemption and deliverance of God's people would be finished once and for all through the greatest of all God's covenants.
    Thanks David, for helping the audience have such a wonderful experience.
