2nd Samuel 20 Just how many people has Joab murdered anyway?

  


  Good Sunday morning, I hope you are up soon and plan on going to your church home, “Church Family” as I like to call it. We are made for community; it is part of God’s design in us! No, churches are not perfect, none of them are! After all, we are all fallen, and the church, therefore, is made up of fallen, imperfect people! Our church (StoneWater Church) has a motto, “No Perfect People Allowed!” We hope that new people will learn to live a transparent life that begins with healing from our past and going forward as a New Creation in Christ! We are a safe place for sinners to start a new life in Christ! We have six campuses in North Central and one in West Texas, and of course, online for shut-ins.

  If you are on the other side of the world, God has us there, too! We work with churches all over the globe, through our REM program, from Israel to Ireland, Mexico, Costa Rica, Spain, to all over the USA! Please go look it up and see if we can help your local church too (help, not control)! We exist to tell people about the Gospel and then grow them in their relationship with God!

  Well, we are not here to promote one church above another; we are here for The Daily Bible Challenge, that is my calling in this life! I am here to tease, entice, or just about anything shy of breaking the Ten Commandments to convince you to read the whole Bible for yourself! We do that here daily, one chapter at a time (sometimes two if they are short). Cover to cover in context from one of the best word-for-word translations of our time. The audiobook of the NASB 95 is a direct translation from the Greek and Hebrew languages to modern-day plain English. We can bring this to you because of the good folks at Blueletterbible.org.

  We are in 2nd Samuel 20 today, and we will read more about the murderous activities from Joab, King David’s leader of his military. This man is a ruthless murderer. It makes you wonder if King David sees him as a necessary evil. What are your thoughts? We welcome your comments and questions via PM/DM. Click the link below and listen for yourself.

  Talk with you soon!

P.S. We switch to our yearly tradition of the Christmas Story accounts in the Bible tomorrow!

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...
