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

Read Pastor David’s thoughts from last week’s scripture.
Last Wednesday, I received a text message from a friend that read, “I like the Psalms much better than Genesis !!!” My friend is not alone. Genesis can read like an E. L. James novel. The stories of Genesis delve into matters of fratricide, illicit rendezvous, treacherous betrayals, and strange quid pro quos. Frankly, humanity comes off looking like a sordid, contemptible lot of characters. Who would want to hang around the likes of people such as us? God.
