REVELATION 3:1-6:17 Chronological Bible Readings Revelation 3:15  “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! You would think that a church would be a group of believers. But I think this is a group of people who think they are believers. Their lukewarm spirituality indicates that they are not. They are head believers but they are not heart believers. Think about all the epistles that we have recently read that talk

JUDE 1:1-25 REVELATION 1:1-2:29 Chronological Bible Readings Jude 3  Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people. 4  I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God’s marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of s

1 JOHN 4:7-5:21 2 JOHN 1:1-13 3 JOHN 1:1-15 Chronological Bible Readings 1John 4:9  God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10  This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. What a perfect scripture for Christmas day. The perfect gift given to us in real, true love. 1John 5:21  Dear children, keep away from anything that

1 JOHN 1:1-4:6 Chronological Bible Readings 1John 1:5  This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. 6  So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. 7  But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. This seems to s

1 PETER 5:12-14 2 PETER 1:1-3:18 Chronological Bible Readings 2Peter 3:1  This is my second letter to you, dear friends, and in both of them I have tried to stimulate your wholesome thinking and refresh your memory. Isn't this what we should all be doing for each other? Stimulate wholesome thinking and refresh memories of the truths of Jesus. 2Peter 3:8  But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is l

1 PETER 2:4-5:11 Chronological Bible Readings 1Peter 2:16  For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil. 17  Respect everyone, and love the family of believers. Fear God, and respect the king. Love the family of believers. Even if they are not very loveable? Even when they don't act lovingly toward me? Even when they rub me the wrong way and aren't my cup of tea? Yes. Yes and Yes again. 1Peter 3:8  Finally, all of you should be

HEBREWS 13:1-25 1 PETER 1:1-2:3 Chronological Bible Readings I have kept up with my reading but due to limited internet access while on a cruise writing has been difficult. I pray that you are continuing to read daily and that the Lord is speaking to you. I will back to normal connectivity tomorrow.

HEBREWS 11:1-12:29 Chronological Bible Readings Reading done but nothing really to say. Have a good time in the word. Remember to read daily.

HEBREWS 8:1-10:39 Chronological Bible Readings Hebrews 9:24 NLT [24] For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with human hands, which was only a copy of the true one in heaven. He entered into heaven itself to appear now before God on our behalf. As I read this I had a picture of Christ kneeling before the Father. Head bowed hands out with nail holes in His wrists. I tried to generate a good AI image of what I pictured an AI is still too stupid for that. Because of H

HEBREWS 4:14-7:28 Chronological Bible Readings Reading done. I appreciate how well Hebrews explains Melchizedek. Who he is and what it means for Jesus to be a High Priest in the order of Melchizedek and how important that is. I know I have written on it in the past possibly in my old blog. So, I don't really have anything to write. I went back to the old blog and searched the name, and it came up with 5 posts mentioning Melchizedek here they are. Search Results for “melchized

2 TIMOTHY 4:19-22 HEBREWS 1:1-4:13 Chronological Bible Readings Hebrews 2:18  Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested. He not only went through the same trials and suffering that we went through he went through more than most of us go through in order set us free from our sins. This is why holding onto Christ is the secret to get through any suffering or testing that we may have to endure.

2 TIMOTHY 2:1-4:18 Chronological Bible Readings 2Timothy 2:23  Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. 24  A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. We all deal with difficult people at times but as Christians especially as leaders we have need to conduct ourselves with kindness and patience. When we respond with arguments and negativity we are foo

1 TIMOTHY 6:11-21 TITUS 1:1-3:15 2 TIMOTHY 1:1-18 Chronological Bible Readings Titus 1:15  Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16  Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good. Claiming to know God means nothing. It's all about the heart. Titus 3:3  Onc

1 TIMOTHY 3:1-6:10 Chronological Bible Readings 1Tomothy 6:6  Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. Amen Living in this world without Christ makes contentment more elusive than great riches. People think all kinds of things will bring them contentment. Money, popularity, power, possessions and on and on. Christ is our source of contentment but just believing in Jesus is not what brings true contentment. True contentment comes as we learn to live accordin

JAMES 4:1-5:20 1 TIMOTHY 1:1-2:15 Chronological Bible Readings James4:17  Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it. Like when we listen to the words of God but don't do it. 1Timothy 1:5  The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. 6  But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meanin

JAMES 1:1-3:18 Chronological Bible Readings James 1:22  But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. How difficult is it to read the bible regularly? When we do accomplish some regular bible reading we often feel like we have really accomplished something. But this scripture tells us that reading the word is only the first step in walking down a path of truth. To live in truth instead of our own foolishness we need

PHILIPPIANS 2:12-4:23 Chronological Bible Readings I have done the reading and found many good things but nothing that I have any comment on. May God bless you in your time with Him in His word. Amen

PHILEMON 1:1-25 PHILIPPIANS 1:1-2:11 Chronological Bible Readings Philippians 1:21  For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. 22  But if I live, I can do more fruitful work for Christ. So I really don’t know which is better. 23  I’m torn between two desires: I long to go and be with Christ, which would be far better for me. 24  But for your sakes, it is better that I continue to live. People who really know me know that I have been ready to meet Jes

COLOSSIANS 1:24-4:18 Chronological Bible Readings Colossians 1:24  I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for his body, the church. 25  God has given me the responsibility of serving his church by proclaiming his entire message to you. I was talking with a friend who is a faithful servant of God in the church who has a heart to serve and care for the body of Christ. Our brothers and sisters in Christ like u

EPHESIANS 5:15-6:24 COLOSSIANS 1:1-23 Chronological Bible Readings Ephesians 5:22  For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23  For a husband is : the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. 24  As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything. "That was a week too late." says Dave when I told him this was my bible reading for today. I agree. But God knew I
