2 Kings 2

Personally I dread to go to the airport to send off someone, especially when the one I’m sending off is a family member, church brethren, or a close friend, because I know that person won’t be around for sometimes.

2 Kings 1

Bible Passage:  2 Kings 1 We start off the 2nd book of Kings to see that nothing had really changed.  Like father, like son… Ahaziah, who ruled the northern kingdom followed in the fototsteps of his wicked parents, Ahab and Jezebel (1 Kings 22:52-53).

1 Kings 19

Bible Passage:  1 Kings 19 Reading today’s chapter on BibleGateway, I found it neatly divided into three sections.

1 Kings 18

Bible Passage:  1 Kings 18 The Bible’s introduction of Elijah in yesterday’s chapter was by all means, sudden. The major event in today’s chapter is also immediate.

1 Kings 17

Bible Passage:  1 King 17 Whenever I read this passage, the thought of eating food from the mouths of ravens (same family as crows) sort of sounds disgusting; of all birds I cannot stand the crow as they are like cockroaches being very dirty and black. Ravens are also considered unclean animals in the Bible. [...]
