Ezekiel 9-12

All right. I don't really have anything passage significant today. So I'm going to take this opportunity to remind whoever happens to be reading that it is perfectly all right to be down right confused by a passage of Scripture. It is good idea to look for help from pastors, friends, books, podcasts, blogs, what … Continue reading Ezekiel 9-12 →

Proverbs 4-6 Psalm 148

So I have a feeling Proverbs may prove difficult to respond to. I don't know. I might be surprised. I don't know that I would call them succinct, they kind of repeat themselves quite a bit in order to make their points, but that's kind of the thing: they're pretty straight forward. What do I … Continue reading Proverbs 4-6 Psalm 148 →

2 Kings 12-14 Psalm 104

I’ll be honest, these books get really hard for me to follow sometimes. So many of these kings have the same names.

From beginning to end, David sought the Lord’s favor, attempted to uphold his covenant. Yes, he … Continue reading 2 Samuel 22-24 Psalm 93 →

1 Samuel 15-17 Psalm 82

I don’t really want to discuss David and Goliath. It’s one of the best known stories in the Bible. There’s some dispute over how tall Goliath really was, but I don’t think it really matters. However tall the man was, the Israelites were all afraid of him, everyone except David who just didn’t get it. … Continue reading 1 Samuel 15-17 Psalm 82 →

Judges 1-3 Psalm 70

I have a lot of questions about Judges. Most of them need further looking into, the consulting of experts I have not yet had time to pursue. I have much to think about. I guess I’m not alone. It seems to me that there’s a lot here to inspire questions. I hope anyone reading this … Continue reading Judges 1-3 Psalm 70 →
