Bible In A Year With Bill

The book of Hebrews contains a strong warning for Jewish believers to avoid going back to their old ways of religion and laws.

In the book of Leviticus, God, through Moses, presented blessings as a reward for obedience and cursings as a punishment for habitual sin.

I really enjoy reading about all the different festivals, as described in Leviticus chapter 23

In the new International version of The Bible, Leviticus chapter 19 verse 18 says "do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbour as yourself."

Leviticus chapter 18 describes many of the sexual acts that are detestable to God.

I don't understand Nadab and Abihu...

I want to read an excerpt from "On the Anvil" by Max Lucado

Today is a day of reflection.

The book of Leviticus goes into a great amount of detail regarding the blood sacrifices used to atone for sins. The animal blood that was spilt on the altar was a temporary covering of the sins.

The book of Acts is such an encouragement to anyone who is a follower of Jesus Christ! Paul is fearless in every way! To him, there is nothing more important than sharing the good news of Jesus Christ!

While pondering and studying today's reading, I found this short analogy in the NIV men's study Bible. It is written by Max Lucado

How do we develop character? I believe most of a person's character is developed as a child. It's the result of values learned from family and other significant people early in life. Which is what makes our role as parents and the role of those who coach kids so important.

Cornelius, Roman, is the 1st recorded Gentile to become a follower of Christ. At the time, many Jewish christians thought salvation was only for Jews. Jesus came so that all could be saved! The same spirit that told Cornelius to send for Peter kiama also told Peter to go visit Cornelius.

Listen as I read a short Testimony written by a young pastor in Zimbabwe.

What is God like? Who is this God we worship? Is he real to you?

The book of acts is all about the workings of the early church in a time after Jesus had ascended to heaven, and left the believers here to carry on his work of spreading love to all people. This was a huge calling for those few early believers. How were they going to be able to do this?

There was definitely no mistaking who the priest was while the israelites were wandering around in the desert. He was the guy wearing blue, purple, and scarlet robes, covered with colourful gems and pomegranates. He jingled when he walked, because of the Bells banging off his priestly robes. Yes, this was a man who had the appearance of holiness. On the outside.

Why do we work? There are many different reasons why people work. As a necessary evil to keep bread on the table, as self fulfilment and identity, as a means of building savings, as an obligation to being a contributing member of society, or as a means to a life of leisure.

Today is your day to spend some time in reflection. Just spend some time with the Lord, and reflecting on his word.

Aaron really dropped the Ball! Here was a man who stood right besides Moses as god displayed his power over and over in Egypt. He watched plague after plague come and go. He even became the chief priest of God!
