This week's passages are John 5, Mark 2-5, Matthew 5-8, 11-13, and Luke 6-8. Jesus began his ministry when he was about 30 years old (Luke 3:23) in the region of Galilee. His basic message was "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." (Mark [...]

Medical Update 9/8/2018
I haven't updated you lately on Darlene's progress. We are settled in an RV park in Florida during her recovery. She is seeing a wound care specialty group now. They have placed her on a Wound Vac system which she will wear all the time until the wound makes progress. After one week of being [...]
Chronological Bible 35: Lamenting God’s Judgment
This week I'll discuss passages from Lamentations 2-5, Obadiah, 2 Kings 25, Jeremiah 40-44, 52, Ezekiel 32-39, 1 Chronicles 4-8, and Psalm 137. Tradition holds that the book of Lamentations was written by Jeremiah. There is no direct evidence of this, but it definitely was written by an eyewitness (like Jeremiah) who lived through the [...]
Chronological Bible 34:The Babylonian Exile (Part 2)
This week we'll look briefly at Ezekiel 17-31, 2 Kings 24-25, 2 Chronicles 36, Jeremiah 21, 32-34, 38-40, 52, and Lamentations 1. As I mentioned last week, Ezekiel and Jeremiah both lived to see their prophecies of Judah's exile come true. This was a hard time to endure and difficult to have to witness. It [...]
Chronological Bible 33:The Babylonian Exile (Part 1)
This week we'll reflect on Jeremiah 27-28, 31, 37-38, 49-52, 2 Kings 24, 2 Chronicles 3, 36, and Ezekiel 1-16. I wrote last week about Jeremiah's prophecies of Judah's exile into Babylon and the unpopularity of that message. The book of Daniel and Ezekiel, in addition to parts of Jeremiah, contain additional prophesies and historical [...]
Medical Update 8/22/2018
I haven't posted an update on Darlene's health lately because of lack of progress or news. We left Delaware and headed to Florida where we feel we can remain indefinitely until her leg finishes healing. As soon as we got here, we made an appointment at a wound care center. The doctor there has indicated [...]
Chronological Bible 32: Jeremiah’s Prophecy of Exile
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 [...]
