What is the purpose of the instruction to count, or tally, the days to Pentecost? David Jones describes the historical use of tally sticks and measuring sticks and how they were used to count and hold others accountable as a source of record. As first fruits, David asks how you and I measure up today and are we prepared to give our full measure in the upcoming kingdom of God.
David Jones is pastor of the congregations in Denver, Loveland, Colorado Springs and Frisco, Colorado. He lives with his wife Joy, their daughters Sarah and Grace, and their son Isaac.
