Day Forty Six – City of Peace
The city of Jerusalem, near the East shore of the Mediterranean Sea, is a city which is the source of much conflict; yet its name means, “city of peace” or “teaching peace”. Yet Jerusalem has no peace. It is a source of much conflict because there are three religions which want to claim it as … Continue reading Day Forty Six – City of Peace
Day Forty Five – The Enemy of GOD, Is My Enemy
Today marks the halfway point for our ninety day challenge for reading the Scriptures. I pray you are following along, and that God is greatly blessing you and drawing you nearer to Himself. Of all things for me to write about. Enemies? I really feel as though I have no enemies within the human race; … Continue reading Day Forty Five – The Enemy of GOD, Is My Enemy
Day Forty Four – Our Creator
When it comes to the Psalms we find much to sing and say about our Creator. Some of the intellect of our day believe that all that is just came to pass by chance, or cosmic explosion alone; but where, O where did the materials come from that “caused the explosion”? The Scripture reading today … Continue reading Day Forty Four – Our Creator
Day Forty Three – Home and GOD
To me, “Home” is a pleasant word, but much more than that, a place of shelter, and warmth. Home is a place of family; the place you lay your head at night. The place you dwell, and abide. In a ship sort of way, home is the anchor of your life. You can leave home … Continue reading Day Forty Three – Home and GOD
Day Forty Two – The Blessing and Wealth of Giving

Day Thirty Eight – Hymn On Waiting
Our Scripture reading today is Psalms 15 - 28. Waiting is not a pleasant thing to do; especially in today’s fast moving world. We wait in traffic. We wait for that job interview and job that is going to put us in a higher income bracket, and maybe on “easy street”. We wait at the … Continue reading Day Thirty Eight – Hymn On Waiting
Day Thirty Seven – The Hymn Book of the Bible
First, let me clear some things up. When we speak of the “Book of Psalms” it is used in the plural. If we speak of one Psalm it is “Psalm”. Such as Psalm 1, Psalm 50, you get the idea. Psalms has no chapters, they are referred to as Psalms. There are 150 Psalms in … Continue reading Day Thirty Seven – The Hymn Book of the Bible

How Shall We Sing the LORD’S Song?
"By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, ‘Sing us one of the songs … Continue reading How Shall We Sing the LORD’S Song?
Dwelling Together In Unity
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; as the dew of Hermon, that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD … Continue reading Dwelling Together In Unity
