January 31 / Genesis 8:20-9:29
Genesis 8:20-9:29 Dear RTB’ers, A few days ago we read that Noah was to bring animals on board two-by-two (Genesis 6:19-20). Then the next day we saw a modification of that original arrangement: “You shall take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and his female; and two of the animals that …
January 30 / Genesis 7:1-8:19
Genesis 7:1-8:19 Dear RTB’ers, Noah, the ark and the flood, continued. Reading the story of Noah and the ark and the flood makes me want to go up north to visit the Ark Encounter in Williamston, KY, where these entrepreneurs have built an ark to the dimensions given by God to Noah – 510 feet …
January 29 / Genesis 6
Genesis 6 Dear RTB’ers, Noah, the ark and the flood. The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (v. 5) This verse, from thousands of years ago, sadly, rings true today. We would like to believe …
January 28 / Genesis 4-5
Genesis 4-5 Dear RTB’ers, We had a good discussion at our RTB gathering this morning on Genesis 4, the Cain and Abel story. Here’s an item I’d like to highlight. Abel, on his part also brought an offering, from the firstborn of his flock and from their fat portions. (v. 4) I’m sure I’ve seen …
January 27 / Genesis 3
Genesis 3 Yesterday we had two chapters in Genesis. Tomorrow we’ll have another two. Today, the Fall, we have only one chapter. Why? Is it because chapter 3 is so much longer than the other four chapters? No, not the case. Then why? I think that it’s because the STS authors want us to think …
January 26 / Genesis 1-2
Genesis 1-2 Good morning, RTB’ers! Carol and I are off on an all-day trip today, so I won’t have my computer with me and I won’t be posting. But the chapters that we are reading today are familiar to all of us, so I hope that a few of you will be posting as to …
January 25 / Luke 9:37-56
Good morning, RTB’ers! When the days drew near for Him to be taken up, He set his face to go to Jerusalem (v. 51) The note in STS today is important. Luke 9:51 is a major turning point in Luke’s gospel – we have seen the end of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee; He is now …
January 24 / Luke 9:18-36
Luke 9:18-36 Good morning, RTB’ers! It struck me this morning how much we RTB’ers have been gaining the past few years by reading the Bible chronologically. It was especially noticeable in reading Peter’s “confession”: And He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.” (v. …
January 23 / Luke 9:1-17
Luke 9:1-17 Good morning, RTB’ers! What is the message that Jesus and the twelve are speaking? “And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God…” (v. 2a); “And they began … preaching the gospel…” (v. 6a); “…and He … began speaking to them about the kingdom of God…” (v. 11b). What does Jesus mean by “the kingdom of …
