Today’s Reading: Esther 6-10, Proverbs 4 2nd Milers Also Read: 2Corinthians 9-12 October is coming. I forgot the date, but it doesn’t matter being that it is not the right date anyway. The rapture of the church could happen before you finish reading this. Luke 21 is a good place to learn of what the world will be like in the end times: such as the days of Noah. While reading 2Corintians 11, I was reminded of Luke 21 and…
Today’s Reading: 1Chronicles 23-25; John 21; and Proverbs 14 Today’s Passage: Proverbs 14:26-27 Good morning. Did you ever see a decal on a car driving by that said No Fear? I never understood that term, so I decided to look it up on the internet. No Fear turns out to be a clothing line and an energy drink. To others it’s a cry of being overly optomistic. To a Christian, he may think:, “No God, Know Fear; Know God, No…
Today’s Reading: 1Chronicals 6, Proverbs 7, John 5-6 Today’s Passage: John 6:35-40 Good morning! Isn’t it great to be saved, to know your saved, and to know that you will spend all eternity in Heaven when you die or the rapture comes? My friend Gary Geiger, in his comment on my blog, asked me to pray for several men they talked with in the jail ministry. The one that caught my attention was a man named Luis. Gary wrote, “Pray…
Today’s Reading: Joshua 22-24, Hebrews 5-8, and Proverbs 19 Today’s Passage: Joshua 24:14-18: Service With A Smile While reading today’s passage, a question popped into my head: why serve the Lord? Israel knew God, and gave four reasons why they should serve Him, and not the false gods of the land. Joshua is giving his fair-well talk with the nation of Israel. They are ready to go to their homes and enjoy the promised land which God has given them. And…
Today’s Reading: Joshua 1-4, Colossians 1-4, and Proverbs 12 Today’s Passage: Colossians 3:12-15: Be Ye Thankful Good morning. “Did you thank God this morning for giving you another day?” This was a question that was asked by another Christian at the Home Depot I was working in Friday. And for some reason I did thank Him for another day that morning. Usually I don’t. I thank Him for the day, as you would thank Him for your food when saying…
Today’s Reading: Genesis 1-3 New And Improved Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2Corinthias 5:17 – Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Philippians 1:6 – Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ… “Let us renew our trust in…
Today’s Reading: Philemon 1 – Hebrews 4 The Prisoner – Philemon 1:1 Good morning? Hope so. I would assume it all depends on what prison you are in. Maybe money is your warden. Will you have to work 80 hour weeks in the new year to pay for Christmas gifts because you are spending money like the government? Is time your warden? Are you a prisoner of time? I’ll be 57 in February (the 11th – mark your calendar). That means…
Today’s Passage: 1Corinthians 15 & 16. The Victory Is No Mystery – 1Cor. 15:51-58 Good morning. Another week has passed. Black Friday, Small Store Saturday, and Cyber Monday are all behind us. Did you get all your Christmas shopping done? Good! You had a victory. That’s what today’s blog is about: VICTORY! We already have the victory, but we don’t realize it. When we don’t realize it, we lose. I was reminded of an Abbott and Costello skit. They go into…
Today’s Reading: Romans 8-10. Romans 8:37 – Nay, in all things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Good morning. I know it’s early, but the question I want to pose today is this: are you a conqueror, or more than a conqueror? What or who do you think about when you here the word conqueror? Do you think of Communist leaders like Lenin, or chairman Mao, who murdered people to gain power? Chairman Mao’s policies are…
Today’s Reading: John 17-19 That The Scripture Might Be Fulfilled Good morning. What a great way to start the morning with my favorite chapter from the Bible: John chapter 17. Jesus is praying to His Father before going to the cross. Jesus prayed for His disciples, and us: those who would believe through their testimony: their word. And there was only one who was lost: the son of perdition: Judas. And the explanation is given as to why: that the Scripture might be fulfilled…
