Who lives that way in today's world? You say: "We say we want eternal life..." It sounds like you're saying eternal life is centered on "Jesus", But whose "Jesus" are you talking about. Is it the same Jesus who guided the Apostles in writing the New Testiment warning of the consequences of our sin? But also the good news, the gospel. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." (Revelation 21:8)

Thanks so much for doing these readings.

A good book on the genealogies, which is much of Chronicles, is "All the Genealogies of the Bible: Visual Charts and Exegetical Commentary" by Nancy S. Dawson (Author) , Eugene H. Merrill (Author) , Andreas J. Kostenberger (Author)

I haven't gotten back to chronicles in my own lectionary, but man the opening names on that list. It's like a lightning rod, if you were an ancient Jew hearing that as the opening you'd be very excited. So many things going on there. Stuff like , is this the line of the promised seed, a prophet, is this a battle between the seed of the women and the serpent.

Let’s do this! Well, that was a mouthful. Hezzalelelponiiiiiii….

Let’s do this!

Let’s do this!

Let’s do this!

Problem is, many of the founding fathers were, deists, and they themselves didn't want to be pigeon holed into a Christ centered belief system. If the US was a true Christian civilization, is should have unabashedly invoked the name of Christ in it's founding. We are in the throes of the consequences of denying Christ as a nation via it's founders.

Let’s do this!

Beautiful. Thank you so much, brother.

Let’s do this!

Let’s do this!

Let’s do this !

let’s do this!

Let’s do this ! I desire loyalty rather that sacrifice And the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings

My guess on why it ends there. It shows Habakkuk was also a song, music and prophecy are closely connected in Scripture in many places.

Let’s do this!

Let’s do this! Jonah reminds me of an old JJW song… “I believe in treating… gentle, but first you gotta get their attention” (from the belly of this fish) Lord you have my attention.

One thing that interested me greatly when I went through my study was how you approach the ending. The traditional authorship was Jonah himself wrote it. You have to admit Jonah did not paint himself in the best light, taking Jonah as the author one can't help but wander did Jonah write this and lease it there as a sign of his own reflecting on his past?

let’s do this

100% Yes !!!

Lets do this! Still amazed these guys have the priests and the House of the Lord, and yet had LOST and then FOUND the Book of the Law!!! How lost do you have to be as a priest and house of God, and not even know where the Law is? What have they been doing …… errrr……. Nowadays…..? ??? Lord help us.

Amen!!!

Let’s do this! The more things change, the more they stay the same…. They feared the Lord… yet they were serving their own gods.

This part of the Old Testament, just seems to hit harder each time I go through it.

Wow. The man speaks truth. I am surprised by his frank and decisive adherence to the Gospel because I have long considered the Methodist church to be astray and very modernist.

lets do this!

Too many churches are afraid to take this position. Makes you wonder what their true goal is. Belief in, and Obidience to our Lord is important.

Amen 🙏

Haha, not to get political but that Psalms 140 sounds like “they” are holding a congressional hearing.

Let’s do this! Yes interesting translation. I use the NASB 2020 wide margin for my reader and it’s interesting to see the differences. Haha…. When the people’s eyes were opened I fully expected to see the phrase “Lord of Hosts (or Armies)” but it didn’t Was the story out of order? I thought Gehazi was already busted for getting the extra reward from Naaman? And made a leprous man. Figured we’d never see him again in public? “Come with me and see my zeal for the Lord”

Excellent

Amén!!!

Beautiful!!

Let’s do this! “Can anyone take fire in his lap and not get burned?” …. But I’m different ! …. Right

Let’s do this!

Let’s do this!

Let’s do this! Interesting on Abijah… never noticed that Ahijah said he was something good in Israel … interesting that God took him (in death)

Amen!

You cannot lure people to stumble and to reject the 7th Day Sabbath which is the will of our Father for us to keep, and keep Sunday instead of which the Father nor the Son gave a commandment to keep.

Let’s do this! Wow, never realized 480 years of gap between Egypt and the Temple…. Thinking about the US being only 250 yrs old….and the changes within that time, how different Israel and Israelites must have been from the predecessors.

Let’s do this!

“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Fine show me one person who has stopped sinning.

Yes stop sinning. But you can’t COMPLETELY stop. The moment you say you don’t sin there you have

Let’s do this!

I think if someone lives a life where they never really repented they were never a christian to begin with. The scripture shows there is salvation once we accept Jesus as our savior and we do get sanctified. Do we stop sinning entirely? hopefully , we shouldnt excuse our sin either. The commenters who disagree here dont even say that, idk if they believe you dont even need to have a heart of repentence because that is false too. If ya dont even care then where is your heart for God? So its nuanced. If you are christian you accept salvation and the sanctification process is also done with Gods help, he helps us defeat sinful behavior and change. If someone never changed at all then they are a lukewarm christian

Philippians 3:8-21 King James Version 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
