Deut 5-7 God Loves You!The wandering Israelites are now ready to shed the past and move into the future. God allows Moses to speak to their hearts which are questioning their status. Moses reminded them that God is a God of love but also a God of justice. He had already told them: Num 23:19, […]
Mark 14-16 Peter is one of the strongest and perhaps the weakest disciple. He announces he will not fail Christ in the time of testing, but his words fall on fallow ground. Christ reminds him that he will not only fail but also fail miserably. We equate with Peter because we, too, when faced with […]
Song of Solomon 1- Just like we hang a banner outside to announce to passersby a home’s theme, God’s Banner, which reads “LOVE,” hangs over us to show that inside are those who belong to the Savior. How beautifully is the banner that reveals God’s untarnished and pure love for His own. Solomon, as the […]

Song of Solomon Ch 1-8 The author, supposedly King Solomon, shares intimate details about his life as king, husband, lover, and friend. It may be that he recorded this as one would record a day in their diary. Many scholars differ on the intents and purposes of this letter. However, it is thus inspired by […]
Psalm 111 to 118: Ps 111 Praising God with our whole heart! Ps 112 Praising God who blesses those who obey Him and take great delight in keeping His commands Ps 113 Praising God you servants, praise His name both now and forevermore Ps 114 Praising God for His care over Israel Ps 115 Praising […]
