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 …
Valentine
Valentines Day is a day where billions of dollars are spent on someone's loved one. What is this day actually? It is in the name of a man who lived in the third century A.D. and died in 269/270 A.D. at the hands of a ruthless emperor of Rome named Claudius. He had issued an …

Day Forty Four – Our Creator

Day Forty – Songs For The Sons of Korah
The Scripture reading for today is Psalms 42 - 55. Psalms 42 - 49 are titled as a song for the sons of Korah; with the exception of Psalm 43. My personal thought on that Psalm is that it is probably included as a song for the sons of Korah. In Numbers 16 while Israel …

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 …
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 …
