THE BIBLE DIARY

1 Chronicles 2:18-4:4

Acts 24:1-27

Psalm 4:1-8

Proverbs 18:16-18

Obeying is hard. Because Christ asks us to go far outside our comfort zones. I read Acts and I am terrified...because I am not called to sit comfortably while the characters in these pages are called to be ve...

2 Kings 9:14-10:31

Acts 17:1-34

Psalm 144:1-15

Proverbs 17:27-28

It's so frustrating to see all the kings of Judah and Israel.... 

Either the kings are very bad or they are good and they follow the Lord but they don't do so completely. Most of the good kings destroy idols o...

Judges 9:22-10:18

Luke 24:13-53

Psalm 100:1-5

Proverbs 14:11-12

For the following post I can take no credit. My sister shared with me something she learned in her Bible course at Biola that relieved many of my own wrestling thoughts as I read through the Old Testament. 

Her...

One of the worse things about falling behind in the reading (besides the absence of the Word of God I feel) is how much good stuff there is to write about when I catch up! But I only have time for one or two topics. 

Catching up today I read about Gideon, his methods of...

Joshua 9:3-10:43

Luke 16:19-17:10

Psalm 83:1-18

Proverbs 13:4

The Word of God stands forever.

Deuteronomy 21:1-22:30

Luke 9:51-10:12

Psalm 74:1-23

Proverbs 12:11

It's been a while since I engaged with the Scriptures through one of my favorite practices: listening to the audio and painting images that come to mind. And today I decided to that however unorthodox it m...

Leviticus 13:1-59

Mark 6:1-29

Psalm 39:1-13

Proverbs 10:10

Reading about the mission Jesus gave the disciples in Mark reminded me a lot about what I've already been thinking about lately.

Today I thought a lot about Billy Graham who passed away yesterday in his old age. I...

Leviticus 7:28-9:6

Mark 3:31-4:25

Psalm 37:12-29

Proverbs 10:5

Today was an unusual day for me. I had a different shift at work that threw my routine. I tried to blog in the morning and that didn't happen, so here I am in my usual position blogging right before bed. But no...

Leviticus 4:1-5:19

Mark 2:13-3:6

Psalm 36:1-12

Proverbs 10:1-2

It was my plan today to blog first thing in the morning. I notice that during the week when I blog right before bed I lack the energy to reflect and write something thoughtful. When I am able to read, reflect,...

Exodus 37:1-38:31

Matthew 28:1-20

Psalm 34:11-12

Proverbs 9:9-10
