Exodus 32
The Bible teaches the natural depravity of man. It comes out and states that natural man, a man that is not born again, is wicked in nature. The second way the scripture teaches this is by example ( Read more... ) -
Bible Reading--Week 7--Numbers 9-36
Somehow I'm a day ahead of where I'm supposed to be, but I finished up the books of Numbers today. And there are a lot of numbers in it! The book begins with the Children of Israel conducting a census of all the men 20 years of age or older that were able to go to war. They totaled 603,550...and without a calculator no less!! After a couple of ( Read more... ) -
Giving Meaning to God's Grace
Tonight I'm reading Revelation ch.14. It says in v.6 that an angel having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth to all people, says,"Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come;....". I often think of why I'm drawn to such Scriptures. Could I be one of those doom and gloom Christians that just ( Read more... ) -

So, my reading last night consisted of Mark chapter 13 and Psalms 33. As I'm reading Mark, I'm learning about the coming of our Father and the things that must happen before He comes. Am I the only one who is frightened by the famine that must happen, and the torture that some of us have to go through? The other side of me is all-too willing to go ( Read more... ) -
Hosea Chapter 1
It's time for me to hit the sack, and I wanted to read some before I went to bed, so here I am at the light reading of Hosea chs.1-2. This is for all the people who think Israel is replaced by the Church. "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. And it shall come to pass in the ( Read more... ) -
Bible Reading--Week 5--Exodus 28-Leviticus 15
Exodus concluded with special instructions for Aaron and the priests, the Israelites worshiping the golden calf, and the construction of the tabernacle and all its furniture.

(Untitled)
Work has been crazy for me, which seriously limits the amount of free time I have for anything else. But even if it is really late at night, I try to squeeze in some sort of Bible verses as a refresher of what is important.
My absolute favorite is reading Christ's own words. Lately, I'm just in awe of Him, what he said, how he said it and who he ( Read more... )
