Deuteronomy 12 Child Sacrifice Angers God to the Point of Total Destruction


  Hello everyone, it is Saturday morning as I write to you, and the sky is very dark and overcast. We have rain forecast for The Little Hundred Acre Wood, but I doubt the validity of that! Rain in August here is very rare indeed! Madeline is recovering well, although, as we were warned, it is going to be a slow journey back to full steam! I took her out to lunch yesterday at one of her favorite places. Then she stayed in the truck while I picked up a small basket of groceries, and that is all she had in her tank. We headed back home for rest. The whole trip was maybe 2 hours tops. All this slowing down sure frustrates my darling bride!

  Speaking of frustrated, we are reading/listening to Deuteronomy 12 for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge. I hope you will join us by clicking the link below! We will be reading why God was so frustrated with the original inhabitants of the lands that He was giving to His people, as they ended their forty years in the wilderness after He made it possible for them to escape Egypt.

  I have in the past been very uncomfortable with what seemed to be genocide in my limited understanding of these soon-to-be-eliminated people. But then I read about how they were even sacrificing their sons and daughters in fire before their false gods (verse 12:31). Some of their other crimes against God are very similar to many things going on in today’s so-called civilizations. Maybe that kind of explains why the book of Revelation will play out someday.

  Click the link below and listen for yourself, made available to all of us by the good people at blueletterbible.org! If you have questions or comments, they are always welcome via PM/DM!

  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...
