In the reading of the Bible one thing that stands out to me is that God is about His own glory. Now for a man or woman to be about themselves we call that arrogance, pride, no good even. Yet, for the Creator who has made all things, and seeing how He also loves the …

Day Fifty Seven – Judgment By Our Sin
I find it very sad that so many have tried to change the definition of Biblical sin. According to God’s Word – the Bible – sin is a transgression of God’s law. Sin is failure to measure up to God’s glory; His requirements of the law. Nowadays, we hear things like, “Sin is whatever keeps …
Day Fifty – Two Wise Men Who Were Kings
Today's Scripture reading is Proverbs 23 through Ecclesiastes 4. I will be only sharing from the Proverbs beginning with. Chapter 23 – “Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward …
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 …
Day Thirty Six – The Word From The Almighty
I would probably call it “sarcasm”. The voice of the LORD answers Job, “Out of the whirlwind”; and asks Job a lot of questions which seem to have a lot of sarcasm in them. “Sarcasm” is defined in the Mirriam/Webster Dictionary as “1 a cutting, contemptuous remark: 2 Ironical criticism or reproach”. The latter one …

Day Twenty Nine – Revival
The Scripture reading for today is 2 Chronicles 5 - 17. One of the things you will notice about the Chronicles is that they maintain a fairly positive approach to the lineage of David, yet do mention their failures, and their turning from the LORD. This morning I took note of king Asa, and the …
Day Twenty Two – When Sin Finds You Out
The title above comes from the Law of Moses (Numbers 32:23); however, as I read the chapters from 2 Samuel 12 – 24 that is what they were dealing with in king David. The reading today included 1 Kings 1; and Solomon's coronation as King of Israel. As we read chapter 11 yesterday it showed …
Day Fifteen – Be Strong and Courageous
The reading for today is Deuteronomy 33 - Joshua 11. Moses gives the last words to the Israelites with words of encouragement. He is also given a view of the Promised Land before he dies and is buried by the LORD. If you will remember he is not allowed; neither was Aaron; to enter the …
Day Eight – Be Holy
We read today from Leviticus 2 - 14, and we see that God is holy. Lest anyone think that this is only an Old Testament teaching; think again, for the apostle Peter wrote: "But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, …
Day One – Genesis 1 -13
A month or so back I started encouraging the membership of Shiloah Baptist to read the Bible through in 90 days. I have done it twice in previous years. The first time was in 2012 and I even wrote about each days reading on my blog Broken Pieces. I am cheating a bit with these …
On This Christmas Day
On this day of the year we are reminded of the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The pastor and congregation of Shiloah Baptist Church pray that all who come to read this and those who do not will have a blessed, and very Merry Christmas day; and will remember the great love, …
For The Lord’s Sake
"Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by Him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing …
The BRANCH
And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. And the LORD said unto Satan, ‘The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?' …
…They Turned From Their Evil Way…
"And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, ‘Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.’ So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. …
Hanged On His Own
"So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, 'What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of …
