Many people find the reading of Scripture difficult because the timeline jumps around. The events recorded in the   Bible don’t follow a historical sequence. The Chronological Bible was created by its authors to help alleviate confusion.

Throughout the coming year, I will be presenting a weekly schedule that mostly follows the Chronological Bible’s  reading plan. Toward the conclusion of each week’s readings, I will post a blog in the Ezine and on the church’s website to offer any observations and insights that come to my mind.

I welcome anyone who wishes to join me in this spiritual discipline. I pray, in advance, that your life will be enriched by the experience.

This doesn’t imply that Elijah was outgunned. Elijah held the high ground, which in military stratagem offers a peak advantage. (I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist.)
