This week's passages are Jeremiah 7-20, 22-24, 29-31, 35, 49, Daniel 1-3, 2 Kings 24, and 2 Chronicles 36. Continuing a look at Jeremiah, he consistently prophesied that Babylon would conquer Jerusalem and carry off its citizens. This, of course, made him very unpopular. He was also speaking in opposition to the word being spoken [...]
Chronological Bible 31: Assyria gives way to Babylon
This week we read Jeremiah 2-6, 22, 25-26, 36, 45-48, 2 Kings 22-24, 2 Chronicles 34-36, and the books of Nahum, Zephaniah and Habakkuk. Passages from the various prophetic writings this week all deal with God's judgment of sin - the sin of his own people who have chosen to disobey His law and worship [...]
Travel Update 8/4/2018
I haven't posted a travel update in a while. If you've been following our story you know that Darlene has had a difficult month, having contracted a very bad case of cellulitis in her leg. Just to bring everyone up to date, here's a recap of the last month since the last travel blog post. [...]
Chronological Bible 30: Words of Comfort
I got behind on these last week, so this is the extra post to get us back on track to finish by the end of the year! This week we finished the book of Isaiah (chapters 40-66), and also read 2 Kings 20-21 and 2 Chronicles 32-34. We also began Jeremiah (chapters 1-2), but I'll [...]
Chronological Bible 29: Prophecies of the Future
This week we re-enter the historical narrative and prophetic books. The passages are Isaiah 18-27, 29-39, Micah 2-7, 2 Chronicles 32, 2 Kings 18-20. Chronologically, we are still within Hezekiah's lifetime (c. 700 B.C.). Hezekiah is only one of 4 of Judah's kings who is described in Scripture one who "did what was right in [...]
Update 7/23/2018
I've been quiet for the last week largely due to discouragement. Darlene was released from the hospital a week ago and has had a tough week. Her antibiotic runs out today and, while there may be some marginal improvement in her leg (from the cellulitis infection) it still looks pretty bad and she is still [...]
Chronological Bible 28: Loving God’s Word
This week's passages included Psalms 105-107, 111-121, 123, 125-126, 128-130, 132, 134-136, and 146-150. As we finish the book of Psalms, we've encountered this week one of my favorites - Psalm 119. It's my favorite for several reasons. First, it has some passages which I've known and quoted for many years, including "Your word is [...]
