Closer Day By Day

The stories of Exodus should be very familiar to most of us.  Many of these stories have been told to us since we were young.  For some of us not born into a Christian family, our first contact with the stories were from the movies – who can forget the movie “10 Commandments”?

We continue to look at what Paul had to say to the Corinthians… Bible Passage:  1 Corinthians 13-14 In the previous chapter, we read that Paul encouraged us to desire the best gift from God, but bearing in mind that it is up to God’s will to bestow upon whomever He wills with whatever gift [...]

The life of Jesus is never boring.  Check it out today… Bible Passage:  Mark 7-8 Today we will read about problems with 3 of the human sensing instruments – the eyes, ears and mouth. Did you notice them?  We also see from the passages two layers of sight, and we must beware the leaven of [...]

It lastly describes king Saul’s hatred of David and attempts at his life. Bible Passage:  1 Samuel 16-20 I find chapter 16 rather interesting. [...]

I forgot to mention this yesterday but we have now officially finished reading one quarter of the Bible. Let’s continue with… Bible Passage:  1 Corinthians 11-12 The very first impression I have when I read chapter 11 is that Paul was indeed a wise and understanding apostle.

Today we continue our look at Mark… Bible Passage:  Mark 5-6 Now Jesus performed many works and moved around much in these next two chapters. Here we see many great miracles. A man possessed by many demons was saved by Jesus, a woman who had a flow of blood for 12 years was healed by [...]
