Joshua 15 Why Take This Challenge?

   


 Good Tuesday morning, we are in chapter 15 of Joshua for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge. Please join us as we dig into the Bible, reading the whole thing one or two chapters at a time! If you join this challenge, you will become one of the statistical few who have actually read the whole Bible, in context no less! Yes, we do skip around a little, but only when important Holidays make it a good thing to do, like moving to the New Testament for Christmas and Easter! 

   Now, if you are saying you don’t have time, we do this using Blue Letter Bible’s audiobook of the NASB 95 version. The typical chapters are less than 5 minutes to listen to! So if you do this on your phone, you can easily do this on your commute to work or on the way home from dropping off the kids at school! 

   If you are saying; Why would I want to do this? Here are a couple of good reasons to take the challenge and read the whole Bible cover to cover! Some of you claim to be Christians, yet you have never heard a whole chapter directly from God’s word. Some of you claim to be Christians but literally know nothing of God’s nature. Lots of people get their Godly knowledge through gossip about God! Maybe even from some people who have never even stepped foot in a church or read the Bible! So here is our challenge’s motto! Please stop listening to gossip about God and start listening to God about God! 

   In today’s chapter, we are reading about the actual border of Israel. It is interesting to think about this as it pertains to today’s headlines about Israel! In verses 15:17, we will hear two names to remember for our reading in another book later, Othniel and Achsah. We will also read about how God’s instructions about the Jebusites (Descendants of Noah’s sons) were not followed, and it may also have something to do with today’s headlines about the war in Israel. 

   If you are new here, we often use the website Got Questions to do further digging into God’s word. We also use the many tools from the Blue Letter Bible. I am not some genius teacher; I rely heavily on the research of far more talented Biblical scholars’ work! But I have read the Bible many, many times, and at 64 years of age, have recently graduated from Practical Theological Seminary.

   The Daily Bible Challenge is a ministry; it is free to you, but from time to time, I will share with you some organizations we support and hope you will, too! Such as BLB.ORG and Gotquestions.org! We receive no compensation or donations from any organizations at this time! We are also available for direct messaging via any platform where you read this post! We would love to answer any questions you have on starting a saving relationship with Christ!


  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...
