Deuteronomy 14 Are Those Dove You Are Hunting Biblically Clean?

   


 Good morning to everyone, but especially the Texas hunters, as this is opening day for Dove season. For the rest of you, happy Labor Day! I can remember many days of my youth walking through Texas fields, waiting to flush some dove, or walking to a tank to wait for the nightly flight to water. I can almost taste the bacon-wrapped breasts after grilling over a mesquite fire! Such great memories I have of this from my college days, and then again when my kids were of age to hunt with me! But are those doves clean animals according to Biblical law? Yes, Yes, Yes they are! Click the link at the bottom of this page to read/listen for yourself! Christians, you are free to eat of this Texas treasure of the sky! Oh, but wait, if you really want to do this right, you may want to wrap them in turkey bacon, that pig is definitely is considered unclean by most! 

   But as we Christians are considered Gentiles, we have a new covenant, where Peter was told by God that what God has made clean do not consider unholy. {Acts 11:9}. But did that include bacon/pigs to wrap our dove breasts and jalapenos in? Sorry, but on this, I do not have a firm answer! There is one other relevant point I want you to consider. If you are getting bored with all this, because of the repetitive nature of these books. In Biblical times, they did not have the exclamation mark or bold print, or italics. So to emphasize a point, they repeated it, and repeating it three times meant it was extremely important!    

   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...
