There are many ways to build a house

...but one way to build the house of God- His way ( and very precise, I might add) (Ezekiel 40-42)

This week has gone by so quickly! I was amused to see that we had not posted anything since last Friday, October 23rd. It was also a good sign to me that there was more than just eating going on but some digesting.

Speaking of digestion- I found that I have to take Ezekiel in small bites, as it is very dense. It's hard to keep myself from reading more into it than is there sometimes, as I am wanting to be enlightened from the daily bible reading. Sometimes God just wants to talk to us, and for us to listen.

My husband and I can connect over a simple "what's for dinner " convo, as well as a deep "how do we budget this?" convo. Either way, we still communicate. In God's word, likewise, sometimes God just wants to talk, and we learn about him this way. Sometimes God needs to instruct, sometimes God needs to warn. But as the word of God states, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable..." (2 Timothy 3:16)

Now for a recap of some the past week's readings...(we wanna know what you thought as you read, as well)

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...

all we need , is in Him

Colossians 2:8-10, 12 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. sin nailed to the cross - image from web Philosophy, traditions, and all the other ways man uses to try and  understand God can only get us so far- if anywhere at all. Sometimes fooling with the newest method and the trendiest biblical insight, or perspectives, takes us in circles. The surest way to learn God, and to get understanding of His Word is through the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 2:11 tells us that only the Spirit of God can know the things of God. And everything that is God, can be found bodily in Christ. In Christ we a...

Build a defense in Judah: 2Chronicles 11-15

" This time I will Praise the Lord, so she named him Judah"- Gen.29:35 In our reading passage for today 2 things jumped out for me. First, 2 chronicles 11:5 tells us that Solomon's son, Rehoboam built defense cities in Judah. Their is safety and defense in praise, and it is the best thing to build a defense in. Psalms tells us that God inhabits the praise of his people ( Ps. 22:3) Second, one of the defense cities is Bethlehem. Bethlehem? A defense city, Who woulda thought, but then how fitting for God to make an appearance, in a defense built in praise. I thought it was cool. Share your thoughts!
