Joshua 14 Calab Asks for Hebron as His Inheritance


  Good Monday morning to all of you near and far. Sometimes we Americans think we are persecuted for our Christianity, but in fact, that is rare. We are free here to worship and practice our faith even on the streets of most towns and cities. I have been talking with a Christian in a foreign country this morning who is persecuted by their family and community. I pray fervently for their protection by God and that they will rise up as a strong warrior for Christ, even if that means fleeing to a free country.

  It is easy for me to proclaim God’s word because I know God is real, because of the huge transformation I have experienced. This transformation is made possible because Jesus paid the price for my freedom in Him. I was a pretty sleazy man before God began His work in me! I do not take any credit for who He has made me; all the glory goes to Him. I still sin, but it is not my lifestyle anymore! There is great thankfulness from those who have been forgiven of much! (Luke 7:47) I do wonder sometimes if I would have been strong enough to find Christ in a country that persecuted Christians! I was once a weak man, but through Christ, I have become brave enough to post the Bible Daily and walk out my faith here in Texas daily. But what if I were in Pakistan or Egypt, or Portland, or something, would I still stand strong for God? I ask all of you today to pray for the persecuted Christians around the world, but especially my friend, who is so troubled!

  Well, this morning we are in Joshua 14 for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge. Calib is strong in his faith and asks boldly for what is rightfully his from Moses’ promise to him 40 years before! So, yes, that would be the very land with the giants...AKA Anakim! Click the link below and listen for yourself. I will be praying for all of you to start your saving relationship with Christ, or further it if you have already started it!

  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...
