What this blog is about and what I hope it does...

I hope this will be a simple fun tool for us to grow in our understanding and surrender to God through the Bible as we connect over the web. Reading the Bible is both simple and difficult. What could be easier than opening a book and reading? Yet we've all done that and wondered what sections of the Bible mean? What's with the book of Leviticus? What is Revelation really about? Is the Song of Songs about marital love or is it supposed to be more 'spiritual' than that?

So, my intent is for this blog to be a tool that helps us in our faith. A forum for better understanding. An honest place of sharing that nurtures us as we follow Jesus together.

(There are a few resources I have included under "PAGES" that may be a helpful start, especially to those newer to reading the Bible. It's located just below this and to the right. Also included is a READING OUTLINE. If you miss a day, go on to the next rather than trying to catch up.)

ONE LAST NOTE: you don't have to join or set up an account to share comments. Just click 'comment' at the bottom of a post, click the drop down and click 'anonymous.' Then write your post and if you want sign it with your first name and finish by clicking 'Post comment.' I would love to hear your thoughts.

GENESIS 24

For NIV reading click here http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+24&version=NIV

This is the story of the coming together of Isaac and Rebekah. Not all praying goes exactly like this, neither do all relationships! But not every story in the Bible implies that our stories line up exactly, but it does remind us of who God is and how God sometimes does work. No matter how the unfolding happens, this story does remind us that God does fulfill His promises and is faithful.

Thoughts, questions, applications...

Prayers,

Matt

    1 through 9 : I read this as a direct caution against becoming unequally yoked .Marry a woman , no matter how pretty she is , no matter how much fun she is , if she does not go to church on a regular basis , you are in for trouble .Am I oversimplifying ? Help me out here blogmates .

    The entire section here tells of answered prayer . Right down to the last detail . I've had such experiences . I call them minor miracles . If my heart is right and my request is right ( aligned with the will of the Father ) .........I've had times when my prayers have been answered . My grandaughter brought home from Quatemala . Hearts softened , minds changed , opportunities availed , arguments resolved .

    You just can't beat prayer . Can't beat it !
