Scripture: Exodus 28-29 I’m taking a break from the regular SOAP format this morning because I have a question: Why did God set aside so many elaborate details for Aaron, his clothes, offerings and the like? There must be a good reason because it is in the Bible and a lot of space is dedicated [...]
