Numbers 1 Are You New HERE to TDBC?


  Good Monday morning, near and far, I am up very early this morning, not for any particular reason, it just happens. Sometimes God wakens me for prayer, but I was not so led this morning, just awake and ready to start this day and write to you about our Lord and Savior and the amazing books He left us. If you are new to this whole Bible thing, it is a compilation of sixty-six books from over 40 authors written over a span of 1500 years. Yet it all ties together with remarkable accuracy! This fact is also why it can be used as its own cross-reference. Many will say you can't use it to prove itself, but because it is a compilation, that is a false argument! 

  You are reading from a daily Blog that is called The Daily Bible Challenge. Our mission is to get people around the world to read the whole Bible cover to cover. The percentage of even self-proclaimed Christians who have read it cover to cover is alarmingly small. So I am calling on that obstinate part of you that loves a challenge. I bet you can’t or won’t do it, read sixty-six books in order, at least one chapter a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year! Nah, I don’t want to bet against you, I want to encourage you, this time invested in God’s word will change everything about your life from the inside out! Now I am not promising financial gain, although it is possible. But I am promising a change in your heart and mind! God has a way of doing that with people if they are open-minded. Then again, He has a way of changing even the most skeptical hearts and minds. If you doubt that, go read the account of an investigative reporter named Lee Stroble or watch the movie about him and his reluctant God story!

  We just finished what I consider to be the hardest book of the Bible (Leviticus), so you lucked out! Today, we start the book of Numbers! We will learn just how many men of fighting age were in the huge group of Jewish sojourners/nomads that escaped slavery in Egypt by God's miraculous intervention. It is estimated that there are a total of up to four million men, women, and children in this traveling community. Oh, if you are new here, I left out one other important detail: we use blueletterbible.org to listen to the Bible, and I like to read along with the audiobook, too. There are many great training videos on YouTube about how to use many of the tools on Blue Letter Bible, and there is also a phone app! But I have found most of it to be very easy to use with the quick-nav button on their home page.

  So join us here daily to take the Daily Bible Challenge and stop listening to gossip about God and start listening to God about God! Just click the link below, and the audiobook will pop up and start reading it to you word for word! We welcome your comments or questions via Direct Messaging.

Talk with you soon!

Revelation 3 Don't be luke warm!

         Good morning, it is the day so many long for, Saturday at last! For any of you in Israel and other parts of the world, Happy Sabbath to all of you. Although some will think it is untrue, my Sabbath is Sunday, I base this on Mark 2:27, but as my Sundays are filling with church work, I may start Saturday Sabbaths soon! If you are new here, welcome to The Daily Bible Challenge, where we are reading/listening to the whole Bible cover to cover. We aren’t doing this for foolish bragging rights but to learn more about God directly from God, instead of just gossip about God from others! Who knows if those have even read the Bible!     Today we are in the book of Revelation chapter 3. It has a lot to digest, but also has so many new questions for us to research. I will not be your teacher, God and your own heart will do that! I am more here to challenge, entice, and even beg you to read and dig in for yourself. After all, I believe ...

Judges 7 God dealing with the pride of man, through Gideon

Image
 Good morning, we have made it to Wednesday, and all is good! What an incredible God story we have in Today’s Daily Bible Challenge as we read/listen to Judges 7. I can only imagine what Gideon must have been feeling as God took away twenty-two thousand of his soldiers. God did this as Gideon was preparing for a battle in which he was already outnumbered by tens of thousands! But Gideon remained faithful, and then God took it from ten thousand to just three hundred! Would you have argued with God, or maybe even just fled for your life?  Are you wondering why God would have done this? In my youth, I wondered about it too! Through this life, I have struggled foolishly with pride for many years, but God has a way of humbling us! Many years ago, God humbled us in ways that shook our lives to the very core! Then, much later in life, God used a great program called Re/Generation to show me how I still struggled with pride and just how many of my sin patterns were originating out of ...

1st Kings 4 Promises kept, although slower that planned!

    Good morning, I hope this letter finds you and yours well. We are doing well here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood. With two hounds at my feet and a tiny cat in my lap, I write to all of you with great joy in my heart! It has been such a blessing to see this blog grow so much this past year, not for my gain but for God’s glory. Please humor me as I catch up on some details for long-time readers on our project list here on the homestead.   The pressure washing will start here on the house today, and the paint should start Monday if the weather holds up for us. Some of the siding got dirty as this project started over two years ago. (even under a real tarp, dirt crept in). A brother from church has asked to do the work, and he is very experienced with painting with the high-pressure spray type rig I am providing. I have to get another five-gallon pail of paint, a case of caulk, and the trim paint this weekend, and lots of protective covering material for the deck and sto...
