Silver Trumpets
There was something that struck me in this chapter. Not necessarily anything mind blowing. In fact, you may have caught it before. This may be old news to you. But it was new to me. I really liked verses…

Like Father, Like Son
Isn't it interesting that Jacob here is being deceived by his sons. They have plotted against Joseph (because of their hatred for him over dreams and their father's favoritism) and are now deceiving Jacob.…

The Prophet and a King!
Narrative stories in the Old Testament, can easily be reread at many spots by adding your own name in. Today, in 2 Samuel 12, Nathan confronts David. The scary part is that when I read it, this is how…

Depressing!
So far I have read through the first 11 chapters of Jeremiah, along with many of you. I feel as though this book is a real downer of a book. I'm excited for the ending. I hope it gets better. I think…

I'm Depressed!
I will need to break down the book of Jeremiah more. I would like to see it in its entirety, rather than one chapter at a time. I have read one chapter per day. And I've got to admit, it depresses me…

I don't understand. Matthew 14 records Jesus miraculously feeding 5,000 men, plus women and children. The disciples even cleaned up afterward. And now, just one chapter later, they are doubting that Jesus…

Why is their an idol in David's house (v. 13)? Wait a minute (v. 17). Didn't Michal just help David escape for love? And wasn't she the one hiding idols in his bed to protect him? Didn't that message…
