Revelation 17 Who is the harlot in this chapter?

    Good Thursday morning folks, I hope your week has been productive. In some ways mine has, but in others not so much. Such is this life I guess, it is a balancing act to live in this world, but not live as if I am of this world. If you are new to all this; no, I am not from another planet, but God tells us in His word that our home is heaven, not this world. So sometimes life throws us some tough pitches, and other times it is like freewheeling down a gentle hill on a bicycle. Breeze in our hair and joy in our hearts, treasure those moments when you find yourself in them!

    Off and on, I have been working on an old truck, getting it mechanically sound, the last two weeks. Yesterday was new spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor and wires. This went well and delivered considerable horsepower for my efforts. Today I will be diagnosing the no turn signals and maybe even start the air conditioning diagnosis. This is North Central Texas with temps staying well above triple digits for up to ninety days straight for what most would call hell but we just call summer! If the AC doesn’t work, for most the rule is park it! Now to be fair, we do have spring or at least a false spring and it is in the eighties and that is a great time for these kinds of projects, yes I know that is summer for a lot of the northern USA! 

   Well, I digress, we are here for The Daily Bible Challenge not shade-tree mechanics 101, let’s get started! We are in Revelation 17, and most just want to answer the question, “Who is the harlot in this chapter? Now I am not very interested in who she is but more how to stay clear of such times and experiences! But she may just be important if you dig a little deeper with tools such as commentaries and studies from gotquestions.org. But even reading that whole article, I find she is irrelevant to me! I just hope I get to ride this one out six foot under someplace until this whole time is over. But I don’t find much scriptural support for my desires to be fulfilled! So I also try to build my strength in faith in God to be prepared for these times as a bondservant of Christ our Messiah. As always I welcome your comments and questions via PM/DM.

   Talk with you soon!

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...

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 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...
