instructions and family lines

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 03:23:41 GMT

I have to admit I've been struggling with the past few days where it feels like lots of instuctions for sacrifices and all the family lineage. I'm sure there's a reason all this is in the Holy Bible, but it makes for difficult reading for me =(

Anyone else feel this way?

Crossing the Jordan River

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 00:50:06 GMT

I read the Bible in 90 days last year and I am amazed at all the things I seem to be reading for the first time. The story of the crossing of the Jordan is the most dramatic example of this so far!

The story is compelling and I cannot believe I did not appreciate it last year. The faith of the Levites as the carried the Ark into the raging river, the miraculous stoppage of the water. Such a great example of God's mighty support for his people.

Avenger of Blood

Thu, 03 Feb 2011 00:23:17 GMT

The concept of the "avenger of blood" is interesting. That and the cities of refuge were concepts I first learned of in Hawaii. When an ancient Hawaiian broke a "kapu" they would often be killed as punishment. However if they could reach the Place of Refuge the priest could forgive them and they could resume normal life.

Interesting that the ancient cultures allowed self-help punishments, but placed a limit on it. In ancient Israel, if one was not guilty of intentional murder they needed to get to a city of refuge to avoid being killed by the avenger of blood.

Balaam's Donkey

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:28:23 GMT

This is one of my favorite stories. Balaam's donkey saves his master's life and gets beaten for it! The text does not tell us if Balaam made amends with his donkey, but I sure hope he did. His ass saved his ass! (sorry could not help it)

{Og king of Bashan was the last of the Rephaites. His bed was decorated with ironand was more than nine cubits long and four cubits wide. It is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)

Wow, that is one big bed!

Introductions

Tue, 25 Jan 2011 17:03:10 GMT

Hello everyone. I am from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. When I was 19 I was hitchinking in British Columbia and three young men from Oral Roberts University came up to Canada on a witnessing trip. They gave me a ride and shared Christ with me. After conversing with them and asking them all kinds of questions we pulled over to the side of the road and they led me in surrendering my life to Jesus Christ. I love to read and study my Bible. I am excited about the 90 day program and am looking forward to getting to know many of you through the forums. Have great day and be richly blessed.

First Lutheran Day 3

Sat, 22 Jan 2011 23:21:00 GMT

It was Jacob's idea to work for seven years for Rachel's hand. Laban only asked what Jacob wanted to be paid for his labor. I didn't read that Jacob prayed before the smitten young man answered. Praying for God's guidance can help us avoid making some serious mistakes!

First Lutheran Day 2

Sat, 22 Jan 2011 23:06:36 GMT

What a great example Abraham's servant is to us when he went to find a wife for Isaac. Rebekah's family invited him for dinner, but before eating, he felt compelled to share the whole story of how God answered his prayers. Laban and Bethuel remarked, "This is from the LORD." They couldn't deny the servant's request. The servant bowed down before the LORD in worship.

How often do we find we can't contain ourselves when God has blessed us by answering our prayers? It makes us bubble over in praise and worship!

We are starting our second Bible in 90 Days at First Lutheran Church in Portland, Maine tonight at 6:30. We had several small groups meet last year with about 80 people participating. What a great experience!

Join us in prayer that the Lord will bless us as we seek to grow closer to Him by spending time in His Word every day up to Holy Week.

Divination?

Thu, 06 Jan 2011 14:42:46 GMT

Joseph hid his cup hidden in Benjamin's sack, then he sent his men out to bring back his brothers and accused them of stealing the cup. What does it mean when Joseph says he used that cup for divination?

Done!

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 02:36:46 GMT

2 Days ago I completed my first time with Bible in 90 Days. It was a challenging, inspiring, and wonderful journey. It was so good that I am highly recommending it to my friends and fellow church members as our church heads into it together beginning Sunday, September 12th! I can not wait to share this journey with others, learn from their insights, and gain from another trip through God's Word. My husband and I read it through with pilot group at our church as we are EXCITED to share the next trip beginning in a few weeks. Join us, won't you? I made a post about it at my blog:

Home stretch!

I've been part of a pilot group in our church this summer for a test run of the Bible in 90 Days. The numbers dwindled greatly but 3 of us will cross the finish line in just a few days, this being day number 75!

For me it has been a wild ride. I read the Bible annually in 12 months, this rapid read has shown me things I never saw before and I appreciate the different perspective. . . we will start a church wide B90 in mid-September. I'm praying now for those whose hearts will be drawn to join us in this speed ride through all of God's Word. I pray it will produce in them a knowledge of God they have yet to have had and a desire to know Him more.
