As Fred heads off to Europe for the next few months, he has asked me to provide the daily commentary as we head into Proverbs. Those of you who have been with RTB for the past few years know that we went through Proverbs at a slower pace in 2022, and then flew through it …

December 31 / Revelation 17-22
Jesus wins! Of course, most of us know this in our heads. But do we know this, truly, deep down, in our bones? Do we wake up each morning looking forward to that great Day when Jesus will appear in triumph? Or do we fret that the bad guys are gaining the upper hand? To …
December 30 / Revelation 8-16
Revelation 8-16 As we read through Revelation, we see a lot of drama. There is conflict. There is tribulation. There are natural (and unnatural!) disasters, calamities, woes. There is a great struggle between Good and Evil. Except for a small faithful remnant, the whole earth is in utter rebellion against God, and they remain unrepentant. …
December 29 / Revelation 1-7
Revelation 1-7 Today we begin a mad dash through one of the most challenging books of the Bible, the Book of Revelation, aka the Apocalypse of John. (By the way, the word “apocalypse” simply means “revelation” or “disclosure”, but because of its association with this book, it has come to mean “end of the world” …

December 27 / Hebrews 11-13
Hebrews 11-13 Hebrews 11 is the great faith chapter of the Bible. Here we find the definition of faith in Hebrews 11:1, the recognition that it is impossible to please God without faith (Heb. 11:6), and a great list of heroes of the faith (dubbed the “Hall of Faith” by some), who illustrate what it …
December 26 / Hebrews 7-10
Hebrews 7-10 Jesus is better! Jesus is superior to anything or anyone else you might find in all of creation. Ordained by an oath from God Himself to a priesthood that is far superior to the Levitical priesthood, Christ offers Himself once for all, accomplishing what no one else could ever do. His own blood …
December 25 / Hebrews 1-6
Hebrews 1-6 Today we begin a very rapid run through an exceptionally rich stretch of Scripture, which brings together the Old and New Testaments like nothing else. The Book of Hebrews is deep, filled with ideas that are not altogether easy to grasp. It would be a mistake, though, to think that because it is …
