Good morning. It is Friday, so those of you who live for the weekend, you made it! But as always, I challenge you to live for every single day because there are so few, there is no time to waste! You have so many chances to be God’s instrument of change in this world! So here are some things to research for chapter 2 of the book of Revelation. Who are the seven churches and do they still exist today? Where were the seven churches? What were their transgressions against God? Will we be left here to face persecution in the end times or will we get the Hollywood version and be raptured away before persecution?

    I am not here to make all this easy for you, you need to make the investment of your time in God’s word if you expect an ROI of any kind! Your work here is not to earn salvation, but it can be to further your understanding of what is needed to begin a saving relationship with Jesus, the one that is the Christ. If you are new here, Christ is not His last name, it means Messiah or Savior. If you come here often, you will read my words referring to Him as Jesus, the one that is the Christ. He was not merely a man who was a prophet, He was God’s son sent to us as a sacrifice for our sinful nature. God loved us enough to die for us willingly! God did this so we can have a ticket on the train to heaven, we don’t earn this but we can be grateful for it, and show that gratitude by serving Him, kind of like saying thank you God for all you did for us to spend eternity in heaven, instead of the alternative that is hell, we will read more about that later in Revelation! So Today’s Daily Bible Challenge is Revelation 2. It will be challenging to even the most learned Christians, but is good reading for the newbies too! We welcome your questions via direct messaging on any of the platforms you read these blog posts on!

Leviticus 9 Be a doer of God's word! It is a safer place to be, don't make stuff up on your own!

Image
   Good morning, I will keep my ramblings very short this morning because we are doing two chapters for Todfay's Daily Bible Challenge. We are listening to chapters 9 and 10 of Leviticus. Chapter ten has something new for you to help break the difficult monotony of Leviticus! When the audiobook finishes chapter nine, just wait three seconds, and chapter ten will start on its own.    God was very clear in His instructions, and Moses and Aaron presented the details very clearly. God’s wrath was stirred when things were not followed correctly! Two sons of Aaron were made examples of by God to establish just how serious He was about how to run the tabernacle and the rituals of sacrifice. Priests and assistant priests were held to a very high standard, as they should still be today! Click the link below to listen for yourself!

Exodus 13 Hopeful recipiant of God's Love

Image
      Good Friday morning to all of you! We have a busy day today with behind-the-scenes work for God and His people. This is the kind of thing most people don’t even think of, yet it is part of making all the pieces fit together in a church. There are so many people reaching out in need every week around the world, but behind the scenes, someone is vetting the recipients, and then after that, others are serving them with hearts full of hope and love! You may be asking, “What is this vetting”? Well, to be good stewards of God’s resources, someone needs to make sure these are not con artists going from church to church and other organizations every month, taking advantage and living high off the generosity of others and stealing those resources from the truly needy. But after the vetting, there is only love, support, and opportunities to grow and find a pathway to break the chains of poverty. For some, it is a temporary situation, a crisis pregnancy, or a sudden m...

Exodus 16 God's Provision, Manna

Image
 God's Provision, Manna Good morning from the little corner office overlooking the rainy and thoroughly soaked, Little Hundred Acre Wood. There are still flashes of extreme lightning in the distance. I have always loved this artwork, but it seems to have passed by and is on its way east. This provision of rain will be nourishing our grape orchard, and it’s just in time to save the young grapes, our largest crop ever after planting five years ago now. These are all table grapes, and our weather is not ideal for growing these. Maybe this year will be our first real abundance of grapes! We are quite entrenched in The Little Hundred Acre Wood now, this will be the longest we have lived in one house, seven years has always marked big changes in our lives. Who knows what God will bring this time, or if He has plans for us to stay planted here for the rest of our days. God sure had plans for His people in Exodus 16, and for forty years, they will be moving from place to place as the...
