THE REAL MEANING OF LIFE

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/joshua/5.htm Father, teach us, show us the truth, open our hearts and minds to Your Spirit. 1So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until [a]we had crossed over, that [b]their heart melted; and… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/joshua/3.htm Once again, God parts the waters. He parted the Red Sea so the Israelites could cross over and escape the Egyptian Army, and now He is stopping the flow of the Jordan River so the children of Israel can pass over into the promised land. The Ark of the Covenant is just that, an ark that aside from defined as a boat, is “something that affords protection and safety”, in this case, the stone… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/joshua/2.htm No offense intended, but it is hard to know too much about the City of Jericho because science, which often does not match up with theology, has their own facts they purport about Jericho. In fact, when I tried to research the city to find out who the inhabitants were at the time the children of Israel entered the promised land, and I found “World History” stories about cavemen and Neanderthals building the town.… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/joshua/1.htm I was never into history until I read the Bible, and now I thoroughly enjoy reading the history of Biblical times. It is accurate, it is authentic, it is World History, and it is our history. Moses has died and has passed the torch, so to speak, to Joshua, the son of Nun. Notice how many Biblical charaters are listed as “X, son of XX”, and that is because they did not use surnames… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/deuteronomy/33.htm Chapter 33 is titled, “The Final Blessing of Moses”, and it is exactly what it says, Moses blesses the children one last time before his death. He goes through each tribe, blessing them individually. Chapter 34 brings to an end the Book of Deuteronomy. Moses ascends to the top of the mountains, and one last time, God showed him the Promised Land, then Moses died, and God himself buried him. 6And He buried him… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/deuteronomy/32.htm The Song of Moses, and yes, this chapter is very poetic and very understandable. I’m not a smart man, so some of the language in the Bible is hard for me to grasp. Ernest Hemingway, the great author, once pined that the Book of Job was the greatest literary work of all time, and I agree, so great that it is difficult for me to understand. I’m not a reader of “War and Peace”,… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/psalms/90.htm You may ask, why am I posting a chapter from the Book of Psalms when we’re in the middle of Deuteronomy (or getting close to the end, anyway). It’s because I forgot to do it earlier; my bad. The actual answer is because the Bible is not written in chronological order, and to better understand the events in the Bible, it is best to read it chronologically. The Old Testament, for example, starts with… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/deuteronomy/31.htm We finish Chapter 31 with a passage that instructs the Hebrews to read the law every seven years; seven is a perfect number in the Bible. My question is, is why do churches not do this today? Wouldn’t it be great if today’s churches read the law every seven years, if not more? My personal belief is that they are trying to get away from “the law”. The law interferes with their personal lives.… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/deuteronomy/31.htm One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Joshua 24:15 “…as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD”. Joshua was Moses’ assistant. While Joshua did not go to the top of Mount Sinai where Moses met with God and received the Ten Commandments, he went part of the way up, and God allowed it. Remember, God told Moses to keep the people away from the mountain, and not to touch… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/deuteronomy/30.htm Dear God, prepare us to receive your Word. Clear our hearts and minds of all earthly things, and let us be together, let Your Spirit teach, and let us listen and learn, and put a hedge of protection around us to protect us from Satan’s distractions, because he surely does not like what we are doing. Amen. I say again…you cannot read the Bible too much; every time I read it I find something… Continue reading
