The story of Samuel is one of my favorites. Here is a man who both began and finished well. That is a rare feat among today’s leaders and even many of the leaders in the Bible (of course not all the leaders in the Bible are trying to be good). However, Samuel is one whoseContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#31)”

Scripture Reading Challenge (#27)
Living in the war-torn ancient near eastern lands was brutal. The daily life of an individual was undoubtedly harder than we have it today. Uprisings and skirmishes between kingdoms and tribes were common. God allowed these opponents of Israel to come against them when they failed to follow Him. It was a way of discipliningContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#27)”

Does your family have any traditions that are times of celebrations? More than likely, you do. It’s a way that we stay connected to our heritage. There are some traditions that probably should be changed, but there are those traditions that are so rich in meaning that it would be detrimental to a groups history byContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#19)”

One of my favorite stories is the Chronicles of Narnia. In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the children are talking about the Christ-like figure, Aslan the Lion. The conversation goes, “Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion.” “Ooh,” said Susan. “I’d thought he was a man. Is he quite safe? IContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)”

What is your biggest fear? For a lot of people, it is the fear of public speaking. When God called Moses, his lack of ability to speak became a point of contention. God wanted to use Moses to deliver his people but Moses, whether it was the real reason for his apprehension or a cover,Continue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#17)”

I remember one year at Kohl’s, I set inside the car with our baby boy while my wife and three or four-year-old daughter went Christmas shopping. When they came out of the store andContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#15)”

I grew up with the saying, “be sure your sins will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). And, found out that it’s true. If we think that we can escape being noticed when we do something wrong or when we neglect to do the right thing, we are only fooling ourselves. We will reap what we sowContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#13)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#12)
All of us can testify to the fact that there are good days and not so good days. Joseph, for awhile, had such an experience of life’s merry-go-round that would break the strongest of souls. Still, through it all he was faithful. God blessed Joseph’s faithfulness more than he could imagine. His blessings were soContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#12)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#11)
Life has a way of overwhelming us at times. A constant barrage of traumatic events can discourage even the strongest in the faith. Joseph is an example of the hardships and blessings of life. A roller coaster may be a good way of understanding the events that took place in his life. God kept liftingContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#11)”

God can transform people. We are about to see that take place in the life of Jacob. After many years away from his family, Jacob is about to return home a changed man. He now has a family and many possessions. He fears, however, for his life and is willing to sacrifice all of itContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#10)”
