1st Chronicles 23 Re/Generation



  Last night I got to share my God story with a new group of Re/Generation sojourners. This testimony of how God transformed me from a self-centered conn man with multiple addictions into a Pastor serving Him in all ways in a new life in Christ. A man who had secrets everywhere but now lives a transparent life, hoping to share Christ's truth with all I meet. A man who lived only for his own pleasure is now living to bring hope and love to all who will listen! You see, this complete transformation makes God very real to me; there is no doubt He did a miracle in my life, as most who know me now would never believe I was the man I used to be!

  My mission here at The Daily Bible Challenge is to try to talk you into reading the whole Bible cover to cover in context, so you can get to know your creator, too! Not to show off my Biblical knowledge because I am a student too, I am always learning more about God through life and the instruction book He left all of us! But sometimes I get so lost in the Bible, usually from cultural differences with the authors of these 66 books.

  Do you ever get mixed up when all these names are showing up in different books of the Bible? Like this morning, we have a Moses listed in the genealogical records in 1st Chronicles 23, but we are dealing with David’s life and his son Solomon. Is this the same Moses we read all about in Exodus months ago? Timelines can get a little blurred here, and it can be easy to get mixed up. But indeed, we have shifted all the way back to Levitical times to talk about Moses and his brother Aaron, to explain the lineage of the Levitical Priests. What I do if I am not sure is to go do an AI search and ask Grok, or Got Questions. They always give me the references for the answers, so I can quickly get back on track with a fuller understanding of what is going on in the chapters that get me mixed up. So, Got Questions, Grok, and more coffee, and prayer are my four secret weapons to gaining more understanding of the background in the Bible. What are your go-to sources?

  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...
