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.
Blessings,
=Pastor David

After settling into the land God had promised them, the people of Israel found themselves under continual attack from their enemies. Foremost among these opponents were the Amorites. The Amorites had inflicted great injury, especially to those who lived east of the Jordan River.
