Commandments of the Bible Blog…
Each week I’ll be attempting to create a blog entry for the previous week’s reading.
It won’t be an exhaustive examination of all the reading, just a few insights and thoughts to get the conversation going. I’d like to set up a few rules to keep us on track. Nothing oppressive, just some guidelines to keep us together.
- As you leave comments, please focus them first on the topic I’ve introduced that week.
- After commenting on that particular week’s topic, feel free to add your own insights and/or questions about anything else from that week’s reading. (This might be hard for those of you who have read ahead, but please try to limit yourselves to the text of the week).
And that’s it! Pretty simple, so here we go…
Week 14 – Bible Blog! (1Sam 21 – 2Sam 15)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! Whew! Feels like we're flying through the Bible now, doesn't it? Can you believe that we're 1/4 of the way through the Bible already? And you probably looked at this book at one time and thought, "I could never read a book that...
Week 13 – Bible Blog! (Ruth – 1Samuel 20)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! So we went from reading one book, such as Genesis, over a 2+ week time frame, to reading one book, such as Joshua, in 1 week, to now reading one book, Ruth, in ONE DAY! We’ve also covered a LOT of ground in 1Samuel in only 6 days (up...
Week 12 – Bible Blog! (Judges 3 – 21)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! Here come da’ Judge! Here come da’ Judge! Well, God predicted it would happen and we’re seeing it unfold here again in the book of Judges. Israel is quickly forgetting God, turning away from Him and spiraling down into destruction. ...
Week 11 – Bible Blog! (Joshua 5 – Judges 2)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! Wow, what a week! After Genesis - Deuteronomy we've actually read an entire book in only 7 days (Joshua)! How can we summarize an entire book in one blog? Well we'll give it a shot. In fact, an overview like this can bring clarity...
Week 10 – Bible Blog! (Deuteronomy 17 – Joshua 4)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” These words begin the greatest story ever told; a story that still has an ending yet to come. In Moses day, near the end of his life, he and all of Israel had been a part of the...
Week 9 – Bible Blog! (Num 35 – Deuteronomy 16)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! Woo Hoo! Book 5!!! We’re almost through the first 5 books of the Bible, called the Pentateuch (pentateuch actually means ‘five books’). So this week it is Deuteronomy. What does that word mean? Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Beuller? ...
Week 8 – Bible Blog! (Num 18 – Num 34)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! Almost two months in and things just can’t get weirder! A talking donkey?!? Are you kidding me?!? This makes even less sense than that awkward story of Judah seemingly inserted into the middle of Joseph’s story in Genesis (see Week...
Week 7 – Bible Blog! (Num 3 – Num 17)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! As I was preparing to write this seventh blog entry, I was thinking about the many parallels with Exodus and the constant intervention of Moses. Don’t these scenes seem to repeat themselves? Things seem to begin well as the offerings...
Week 6 – Bible Blog! (Lev 14 – Numbers 2)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! Six weeks and counting…counting…counting… Why do they call this book Numbers? Well, if you’re like me you may have trouble reading Leviticus. It may be difficult to understand and overwhelming in its detail. However, as I read my...
Week 5 – Bible Blog! (Ex 33 – Leviticus 13)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! Five weeks and running… Marathon runners call it, “The Wall”. I call it Leviticus! I remember the first time I tried reading the Bible from Cover-to-Cover. Genesis was great! Exodus was thrilling! Leviticus was…....
Week 4 – Bible Blog! (Exodus 13 – Exodus 32)
Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! Hey! Four weeks in! Woo Hoo!!! Only 11 months to go and we’re all the way through. If you are a day or two behind, don’t worry. It doesn’t take long to catch up! Just try to make this an everyday habit. In fact, if you’ve...
Week 3 (Genesis 43 – Exodus 12)
Week 3 - Bible Blog! (Genesis 43 – Exodus 12) Welcome Back to the Bible Blog! [Blog rules/protocol can be found in the Week 2(&1) blog...] So how are you doing with your daily reading? It's been three weeks already and you should be up to Exodus 13-15 for today. ...
Week 2 (&1) – (Genesis 1 – 42)
Commandments of the Bible Blog... Each week I’ll be attempting to create a blog entry for the previous week’s reading (in this case the previous two weeks, since this is my first blog entry). It won’t be an exhaustive examination of all the reading, just a few...
