"And the Angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, 'Jacob:' And I said, 'Here am I.' And He said, 'Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. I am the …

While the Earth Remains
"And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in His heart, 'I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination …
Day Ninety – Jesus Christ, The Alpha and The Omega

Day Eighty Nine – Blessings and Warning of Judgment
It is quite pleasant to write and to speak of blessings. It cannot be said of Judgment. Nevertheless, judgment is a topic which must be addressed by those dealing with truth. Truth is more than philosophy; it is of God; because God is Truth. Our scheduled reading today is 1 John 3 through Revelation 7. …

Day Eighty Eight – Being A Discerning Christian
It has been said that the best way to identify a counterfeit is to really know the real thing. It has been told to me by one who has experience as a teller that banks train them to get the feel for the real paper money, and when a counterfeit passes through their fingers it …

Day Eighty Seven – The Best High Priest
When I began doing this 90 days of reading through the Bible my thinking on these posts were not to write commentaries on what I had read, but that is probably what they are. They are more my thoughts on what I have read, and certainly not verbally inspired as the Scriptures are. I had …
Day Eighty Six – The Brethren and The Priesthood

I read of Timothy faithful pastor at Ephesus, and Titus a faithful Christian pastor on the Isle of Crete (1:5), and his ministry to the people. Paul’s call to Titus for the appointing …

Day Eighty Three – The Power of the Cross
There have been some wonderful photo shots of lightening. There is a whole lot of power in each one of those bolts of light. The one’s who know those things could tell you how much, but I am coming up without any trivia on that except to know there is so much power that just …
Day Eighty Two – On Forgiving Others
Yesterday’s post was about “Sin in the Church”. Looking in First Corinthians at the Corinthian church was not much different than looking into the world; maybe even worse. The apostle Paul confronted a situation which grieved his heart. These were his spiritual children, and they were in the midst of tolerating the evil in their …
Day Eighty One – Dealing With Sin In The Church
There is probably nothing more sure and clear than the title of this post, "Dealing With Sin in the Church”. To ask, “Is there sin in our churches?” is a very unnecessary question. Where there is a church without sin; it is of their own confession; and not the truth. Besides where there is people …

Day Eighty – Shipwreck, Sin, and Slavery
The world we live in with all the conveniences, comforts, and wealth is not often viewed with slavery, or sin in mind. As a matter of fact most of the human race would just as soon forget the idea of sin and chalk it up to being an antiquated idea. An ancient superstition or fear …
