Dave's Bible Journal: June 2008
http://davesbiblejournal.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 23, 2008. State of the Blog. I appreciate your willingness to listen to my point of view on scripture, and invite you keep up with Ryan, Chris and I as we tackle all things Christian and try to relate them to the world. Thank you (all six or so of you! Wednesday, June 4, 2008. 14:6 "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way , and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.' ". And who says guys don't ask for directions? Jesus says that the way to Him is Him! The Glory of God.

Dave's Bible Journal: January 2008
http://davesbiblejournal.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2008. 20:23 "He said to them, 'My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.' ". Ok, so I was thinking about this verse, started breaking it down and I think I found something pretty cool. Bear with me. So Jesus asks the Zebedees if they are "able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? In verse 23, Jesus apparently answers two questions:. Answer 1 - "My cup you shall drink".

Dave's Bible Journal: May 2008
http://davesbiblejournal.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 20, 2008. 7:52a "They replied, 'Are you from Galilee too? The Pharisees rebuke Nicodemus for defending Jesus. Prior to this outburst at Nicodemus, the Pharisees scold the men they sent to arrest Jesus by asking them if they have "also been deceived? It struck me as comical in a sense that they hate Jesus so much that they regard anyone moved by the obvious power in His message as dolts. It really seems that the implication of their two statements is to ask "are you stupid? For the word of th...

Dave's Bible Journal: 1 Kings 10,11
http://davesbiblejournal.blogspot.com/2008/05/1-kings-1011.html
Monday, May 5, 2008. 1 Kings 10,11. 11:2 ".the LORD had said to the sons of Israel, 'You shall not associate with [foreign women], nor shall they associate with you, for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods.' Solomon held fast to these in love.". The writer summarizes the downfall of Solomon. It reminds me of Tevye. In "Fiddler on the Roof" singing "If I were a rich man.". But how quickly it all comes crashing down. The rest of us should dig deeper into the story for our lesson. And our...

Dave's Bible Journal: 2 Kings 20, 21, 22
http://davesbiblejournal.blogspot.com/2008/05/2-kings-20-21-22.html
Sunday, May 18, 2008. 2 Kings 20, 21, 22. Today's reading was done from my brand new ESV. 2 Kings 22:11 "When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes". King Josiah hears the words of God for the first time and reacts with fear and penitence. I did the math and found out that Josiah was 26 when this happened. the same age as me. That got me thinking; what if the Bible I was just given today was my. It was actually quite recently. If you were "slapped" by James 1:20, pray for f...

Dave's Bible Journal: Genesis 6,7,8
http://davesbiblejournal.blogspot.com/2010/01/genesis-678.html
Sunday, January 3, 2010. Genesis 6,7,8. 8:20 "Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar". Give time for the hamster to turn the wheel in my brain. I get it now! Once again, God proves that He knows what He's doing. God provided the sacrifice! Lord, thank You for providing the sacrifices you require! Thank You for your lovingkindness and your faithfulness! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Genesis 6,7,8.

Dave's Bible Journal: March 2008
http://davesbiblejournal.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 31, 2008. 7:35 "Yet widsom is vindicated by all her children". Jesus is displaying the foolishness of the Pharisees in their judging of John the Baptist and Jesus by meaningless standards. I asked myself, "what are the children of wisdom? Good behavior and gentle deeds (James 3:13). Obedience to God (Deut. 4:5-6). Prudence, knowledge, discretion (Prov. 8:12). Productivity/stability (Prov. 24:3). Hope (Prov. 24:14). Reputation for being wise (Daniel 5:14). Salvation (2 Tim. 3:15). A man with...
