John 5.39-40 November 29, 2007

So He wants me to read thru John, apparently. 4 chapters yesterday. chapter 5 this evening
what stood out to me tonight was John 5.30-47, the section titled Whitnesses to Jesus. namely, v. 39 and 40. “you search the scriptures because you think that in them you will have eternal life; and it is they that [...]

John 3:8 November 27, 2007

“The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the spirit.”

Gifts, not Rights November 19, 2007

Yesterday was my very first time attending the Vineyard of Columbus’s morning service. I had been to the Joshua House, but knew I needed to go to some sort of church service on Sunday morning, considering I’ve been severely slacking this past month. So I tried it out. They had titled the sermon “How Should [...]

The Door Opened of Its Own Accord November 7, 2007

well… a lot to think on tonight. payback for not reading all weekend.
Acts 12:1-19. This story amazes me every time I read it.
King Herod had James killed, and getting a favorable response from the people, imprisoned Peter, with intentions of an encore after the passover holiday. So the believers had good reason to “be praying [...]

Deuteronomy 4:24, 29-37 November 7, 2007

Deuteronomy 4.29-37
“From there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find him if you search for him with all your heart and soul. in your distress, when [...]

Psalm 88 November 7, 2007

psalm 88 (aparently the saddest psalm in the whole book, according to Quest Bible notes)
“O lord, God of my salvation, when, at night, I cry out in your presence, let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry. for my soul is full of troubles…”
again, according to Quest…. this psalm is deeply [...]
