27 Dec 2011 Tuesday This is Lesson#52 for the 365 Bible Class scheduled for 1 January 2012.

You are and have been a good and precious gift to me and Betty, thank you all! It has been a great and wonderful Year!! May GOD bless you with A Great, Good and prosperous New Year as you read!!
This will be our last class together. We started with three (3) goals for the year 2011, to read daily through the 365 KJV Bible, to write out our testimony and to write out a prayer. The church would like to recognize those who have /will have read through the Bible with a certificate. Please let us know about your success. Are you better prepared to "trust and obey" because of this year of reading? God bless you.
Review our reading of 26 Dec-31 Dec: (Don't let things / activities crowd out GOD, seek Him early and diligently with all your heart.) Zachariah 9:1-14:21; Malachi 1:1-4:6; Revelation17:1-22:21; Psalm(s) 145:1-150:6 and Proverbs 30:32-33 and 31:1-31 Read Psalm 139 and SEE GOD, The LORD, Lord Jesus Christ, David and yourself.
READ TO KNOW HIM!
Have you spent some time these last few days and reflected on what you have been exposed to by reading through The BIBLE? Are you "contaminated" by Truth? Are you addicted to seeking to know Him early every day, hiding the WORD in your heart and being diligent?

We start today, 1 Jan 2012, with an open mind an open heart with the opportunity "to read" to know Him. Join with me as you hope to continue to read from now to eternity. We have experienced His Truth in our hearts, as a fact, yea and it also sure feels good! We have had this, all of His promises and Heaven to come, YEA, Alleluia! We are His and He is ours. Practice Psalm 138:2, II Tim 3:16-17 and Psalm 119:165

Zachariah The prophet and priest causes us to consider Christ at 3:8, 9:9&16, 11:11-13, 12:10, 13:1,6-8, and 14:3-8 as compared to Acts 1:11. What do make of chap 14? Look for the cross and the Crown. How does "He is coming and His kingdom is with Him" impact your hope? Let 4:6-8 overtake your daily conversation. What visions were given to Zachariah and how do they impact your concept of GOD?

Malachi Take time to meditate on 3:11 "and I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith The LORD of hosts." Consider these promises and observe what is said at 3:16 & 4:2-3. From about 400BC to the birth of Jesus Christ there were no canonized or accepted writings.

Revelation Every since Genesis 3:15 we have been reading to this end. We are not to be fearful, but to fear God, for the fear of The LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of The Holy is understanding. Since our salvation we have been taken from being under the wrath of GOD to being placed by His side and to watch His will to be preformed upon His creation, REDEEMED.

Psalm We get to praise God! We are told what pleases Him and how to present our thanksgiving. Selah

Proverbs The hope of real men is expressed. The goal of every young girl is expressed. The path for every woman is made plain. The joy of every husband is projected. The heart and mind/will of GOD is revealed concerning how his creation, man and woman, ought to live. This is Stewardship!

I have misused the word "grudge", yet it means to be reluctant to admit or give; a deep seated resentment or rancor; rancor is defined as bitter, long-lasting resentment and ill will. GOD hates sin and shows His emotions at Proverbs 6:16-19. Hate is defined as to feel great hostility or animosity toward. Yet Isaiah 1:16-18, John 3:16 and Romans 5:8 gives us comfort about how He feels toward His children. Why did you respond to His drawing and receive Him as your Lord? Write your salvation. Start with "All things.....

Happy Holy Days and Merry Christmas to all. This is Lesson#51 for the 365 Bible Class,25 December 2011
*** There will be NO CLASS today*** There be a combined worship service at 10:30 for the church.
Merry Christmas to you. You are and have been a good and precious gift to me and Betty, thank you all! We started with three (3) goals for the year, to read daily through the 365 KJV Bible, to write out our testimony and to write out a prayer. The church would like to recognize those who have /will have read through the Bible with a certificate. Please let us know about your success. Keep on reading The Word.
Review our reading of 19-25 Dec: (Don't let things / activities crowd out GOD, seek Him early and diligently with all your heart.) Zephaniah1:1-3:20;Haggai1:1-2:23;Zachariah1:1-8:23;Revelation 10:1-16:21; Psalm(s)138:1-144:15 and Proverbs 30:11-31.

Zephaniah(hidden of Jehovah) tells all that The Great Day of The LORD is at hand. If you see God as both loving and severe how does this impact your concept? Judah is to be taken. There will be a remnant saved and will be restored in the land One Day and some heathen will be saved. What is that new tongue? How does a man walk humbly before God? Will this be a time of "FREEDOM"?

Haggai (525) tells of the return to the land after 70 years have passed and the temple is to be rebuilt. "Consider your ways." Why did they get their priorities mixed up? What lesson ought we to learn about uncleanness? Who is the signet for God?. How may one be encouraged by being rebuked? What/who is the resource of your courage? How many names of God have you found? Knowing God is more important than knowing about God.

Zachariah>Future >Revelation-during turmoil, who listens or hears? From Babylon to Jerusalem and chosen by GOD? In this turmoil how was Christ presented? Take time to look for Jesus at 3:8, 9:9, 9:16,11:11-13,12:10,13:1,6-7and14:3-8. Consider this prophecy as you read through Revelation allowing your memory to provide a background as presented in Daniel, The LORD wants those who read to know Him. The Messiah and The Kingdom and The last days. From about 400BC to the birth of The Lord Jesus Christ there are no canonized or accepted writings.

Revelation Strive to be amazed at the Words and handiwork of GOD. His commandments are not grievous. With the gifts of technology imagine how chap 11 will be presented 3.5 years from now if the Rapture happens today. Remember where the redeemed will be seated as these events are occurring. Recall Genesis 3:15 as you read chap.12. The Enemy of God is at hand and we get to see how the 144,000 witnesses are employed by God, even in the last days The Gospel will be proclaimed. Spend some time reading about the wrath of The LORD and then be grateful as you praise Him for taking the wrath for you. We have been taken in love to be with our Lord. As you pray for the lost bear in mind what they will face if they do not respond to GOD in faith.

Psalm Take note of 138:2 and appreciate what you have in your hand and appreciate The LORD's lovingkindness. Take time to praise The all knowing God who preserves us and keeps us from evil. Pray back Psalm 143. Ask The LORD to bless you, if He is your Lord. Selah

Proverbs O that we all would believe the pureness of God's WORD. Consider using 30:7-9 as a guide for your stewardship/checkbook evaluation. Consider Four(4) as it relates to "Creation".
As you read to know Him, tell Him how much you appreciate being saved and redeemed.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

13 Dec 2011 Tuesday-Hope you are getting ready for the Big Day.As you read, please note the embedded promise(s). Today, the very last verse, Proverbs 29:25,tells whosoever that they shall be safe as they put their trust in The LORD.

Selah, meditate on that Truth and be aware of the conditions. It is a trust issue! Can we separate trust from faith or love or obedience? Recommend we all take time to evaluate where we are, confess our need for protection(for we have a REAL Enemy), admit that we have been trusting ourselves and those around us for little things and not fully waiting upon The LORD our Lord.

Seek to sense being blameless before God.Recall others Truths that,hopefully, are hidden in your heart admit your need of and for GOD, cry out, confess, be forgiven, get clean, approach The Throne of God with thankfulness and lay down your burden, He is waiting for you. Come home my child. Any whoso can trust. Be careful and by faith first, Trust The LORD.
PS: Sometime the light does not come on until we get to the end.

Monday, December 12, 2011

12 Dec 2011 Monday This will be Lesson#50 for our 365 Bible Class 18 December 2011.

We started with three (3) goals for the year, to read daily through the 365 KJV Bible, to write out our testimony and to write out a prayer. The church would like to recognize those who have /will have read through the Bible with a certificate. Please let Betty know about your success. Write someone (who so ever) in your family a short note of love.
Review our reading of 12-18 Dec: Amos 7:1-9:15; Obadiah 1:1-21; Jonah 1:1-4:11; Micah 1:1-7:20; Nahum 1:1-3:19; Habakkuk 1:1-3:19; Revelation 3:7-9:21; Psalm(s) 131:1-137:9 and Proverbs 29:23-27 and 30:1-10. Fourteen (14) of the 39 Old Testament Books are written during 586-400BC. From about 400BC to the birth of Jesus Christ there are no canonized or accepted writings.

Amos Trust and obey! There is no place to hide from God. What promise has not yet been fulfilled concerning the tabernacle of David? Amos, a prophet to Israel 768-755BC, teaches that Israel and all nations must prepare to meet The LORD. Amos asked the question "can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Why a plumbline? Don't get distracted by the vessel? How does 8:7-14 impact your concept of God? Who/how is Just compared to mercy and or wrath?
Obadiah How does the doom of Edom impact your concept of God? Obadiah, a prophet to Judah o/a 840-825 BC, shares with us the fate of Edom and that The LORD will restore Israel/Judah and the kingdom shall be The LORD's. Pride costs! Pay attention to v 15.

Jonah Why was Jonah sent to Nineveh? Why did Jonah run away, how significant was his prayer life, does//can preaching change a city and why be sad at God's blessing on sinners? What did you learn? Jonah records a great Miracle! A great picture of GOD resurrecting His Son. The proof that all Nations ought to hear the good news and hope that GOD will deal with mercy. Recall as you read Nahum.
Micah warning of the fall of Israel and Judah. Foretelling of the birth of Zion's soon coming King. Refine your concept of The Lord GOD as you read verse 1:2. Compare the promises against the condemnation in view of the last days. What think ye of 7:7-20?

Nahum predicts the fall of Nineveh (about 120 years after Jonah's visit) and the glory of The Assyrian Empire. Note the time line/connection from Jonah to Nahum. Consequence for sin will be paid. What aspect of God did you learn at 1:2-14? What warning did you note in chap 2?

Habakkuk tells that destruction is coming, yet there is hope in GOD. How long have you been crying and for what? What lifestyle principle(s) did you learn from chap 2 and are they principal in your life How do you pray back 3:2??

Revelation Do you believe the promise(s) given and does 1:3 apply to this week's reading? How do you hear what the Spirit is saying to the church? Focus on The Lord and not the creation. Are we seeing the end before the beginning? What is the ministry of the 144,000? Why seven Seals and six trumpets?

Psalm(s) Reminds us to check our attitude and repair the condition of our heart before we Bless and Praise The LORD. How long(136) will His mercy endure? What is dramatic about Psalm 138?

Proverbs warns about pride and of being just. If verse 30:5 is so why would any man quote v3?
Timing ought to excite us. Let us spend time reflecting on the acquired Truths we have because of reading and celebrate what The LORD our Lord has done for us. Could it be that giving to Him could become more important than what others give to us. This is a great time to practice Stewardship. Try writing a "Thank you" note to GOD.

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

7 Dec 2011 Wednesday-70 years ago this AM!!! Take time to be grateful. Hope you have been reading to know God. This is Lesson#49 for the 365 Bible Class for 11 December 2011.

** We are planning on having a "get-together" on Friday 16 December, 7PM at the youth department's Fire House. We ask that you, if possible, bring BOTH a toy-gift and a baby gift. We hope to take the toys to the USMC "Toys for Tots" and the baby gifts to "A place for grace". We will discuss details this Sunday.

We started with three (3) goals for the year, to read daily through the 365 KJV Bible, to write out our testimony and to write out a prayer. The church would like to recognize those who have /will have read through the Bible with a certificate. Please let Betty know about your success.
Review our reading of 5 -11 Dec: Hosea 1:1-14:9; Joel 1:1-3:21; Amos 1:1-6:14; 1st John 5:1-21; 2nd John 1:1-13; 3rd John 1:1-14; Jude1:-25; Revelation 1:-3:6; Psalm(s)124:1-1-8; 125:1-5;126:1-6;127:1-5;128:1-6;129:1-8 & 130:1-8 and Proverbs 29:5-22.

Fourteen (14) of the 39 Old Testament Books are written during 586-400BC. Judah/Jews went into captivity 1st time o/a 605; 2nd 597, 3rd 587 and returned from captivity o/a 538 and rebuilt the Temple 536-516 BC. Ezekiel and Daniel were the prophets to the Jews during the 70 years of captivity in Babylon. Time line for our reading Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel is o/a 586 BC. Zechariah, Haggai and Malachi were prophets to restored Judah/Israel(post-exilic). From about 400BC to the birth of Jesus Christ there are no canonized or accepted writings.

Hosea, a prophet to Israel o/a 750-725, will allow us to better know GOD and His mannerisms of dealing with His children as sinners. Jensen called this a report on "GOD's love for Backsliders". We should read to know how The LORD demonstrates that He is Holy, Just and Love. Israel goes into Assyrian captivity o/a 722 BC.

Joel, a prophet to Judah o/a 925-810BC, tells us about the "Day of The LORD", calling for repentance while hoping for restoration. Tribulation-Armageddon-Millennial Reign.

Amos, a prophet to Israel 768-755BC, teaches that Israel and all nations must prepare to meet The LORD. Ask the question "can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Amos projects a restoration and that GOD will plant Israel upon their land.

1st,2nd,3rd John charges us to have fellowship with GOD and his children, to know Truth and see that in so-called believers. All should expect and pursue Spiritual health and prosperity. GOD wants His children to be in and walk in the Light.

Jude teaches all believers to know truth, beware of ungodly men, contend for the faith, believe and trust GOD that He is able to keep you from falling.

Revelation show us the climax of GOD's Book, Apocalypse: The Revelation of Jesus Christ. We get to learn church history. A simple goal for life is, to be "in the Spirit on The Lord's Day".

Psalm(s) Perhaps the strongest verse is at Psalm 127:1 "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchmen waketh but in vain." A lesson for all.

Proverbs 29:5-22 reveals a great dilemma at verse 18 "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Where did your vision begin? Where does your testimony begin?
Write someone (who so ever) in your family a short note of love.

25 Nov 2011 Yea it is Friday and Sunday is coming. I celebrate this day because in 1977 I tasted my last alcoholic drink. I'm grateful that the desire for liquor is gone, BY THE GRACE OF GOD!!This great gift was given to me even before I had read my Bible. I hope all of you realize it only takes ONE shot/drink to be on the the road that will always end up bad, yet James 4:17 does have its say. The term "high and dry" means something special to me.

What did you see in the life of one of the King's kids today? It is amazing to see the potential of seeking to know and honor your God and then seeing a good end.We all have the opportunity to do good and to be right.

What special choice did you make today? Take time to make your next option, the Best choice so as to glorify The LORD.You are being watched by someone. Please read to know Him and then "on purpose" be/get right and then do right.luvpj

Wednesday, November 23, 2011

24 Nov 2011 Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, God Bless America. I pray that each of you(us) are blessed abundantly according to your(our) obedience to The Truth as given in The Holy King James Version of The Bible.

As you read the lesson from Ezekiel please appreciate the intercession by The Prince.Continue to refine, update and solidify your biblical concept of GOD.

Take time to be Holy. Read to know Him. Hope to see you in class Sunday. luvpj

Monday, November 21, 2011

21 Nov 2011 Monday This is Lesson#47for the 365 Bible Class for Sunday 27 Nov.
Has your attitude CHANGED toward The LORD concerning stewardship because you read this week? Are you "still" connected? What is your greatest treasure? Continue to pray for your card partner, your missionary family, the troops and the lost. As you share your testimony use some of the scriptures you have read this week and then pray that The LORD would draw them.

Review our reading, 21-27 Nov: Ezekiel 42:1-48:35; Daniel 1:1-4:37; James 5:1-20; I Peter 1:1-5:15; II Peter 1:1-21; Psalm119:1-112; Proverbs 28:6-18.

Key to Ezekiel "They shall know that I AM God." We are informed about what and when it happened to The Jews, Jerusalem and the other Nations from the journal of Ezekiel. How is your recording of key events in your life going to impact your followers? Many of the vision relate to the restoration of the temple and the rebuilding of Jerusalem, while these are partially completed, we look at the forecast of a city and a kingdom that is yet to be built by God. We must be concerned about our witness.

Key to Daniel As an youth of royal blood was carried as a prisoner from Jerusalem(606 B.C.) into Babylon and there living, learning and serving through the reign of Nebuchadnezzar- Belshazzar, Darius the Mede and Cyrus the Persian for the 70 years of Jewish captivity. How does a person live a consecrated life of faith and yet be a loyal and dedicated servant to a heathen king?

Key to James What is considered the cause of most wars? C_ _ _ _ _ _ ness( The desire to get for yourself what belongs to others) Did you see LSD? (4:17) Most believers do not want to suffer and we are generally not patiently waiting for The LORD to supply. Is verse 5 the only answer? What promise did you learn from this chapter and what are the conditions for success? Who is this James?

Key to I Peter Why are we surprised "IF and when" we are abused and MADE to suffer for His name's sake. We are to be exhorted and encouraged as we are reminded of the suffering of Jesus, our Lord. What did you note that is "precious" to The LORD, Peter and to us? What lifestyle did you learn at verse 1:13? Have you ever been consoled? Who have you consoled using "only" Biblical Words?

Key to II Peter Have you now been warned? The facts make the difference and our feelings ought to be better controlled. How can you use a blood test to verify your teachers? Have you considered changing your conversation to be aligned with v 5-8? What is "giving all diligence, add.." mean to you?

Description of God in The Psalm How can a person know God apart from His Law, Word, Judgment, Testimonies, Statues, Commandment, Precepts, Sayings and Way(s)?

Warnings in The Proverbs Carefully choose your companions, set a good example, apply v 13 often, strive to walk uprightly, fear God and keep His commandments.

Application of II Timothy 3:16-17--Does The LORD, your Lord consider you as perfect, throughly furnished and doing good works? If not, why not? What more do you need from God?
Why don't you/we celebrate "Thanksgiving Day" every week? When will our eternal life begin?
If you are not saved-I would like to share Bible Truths with you.
If you are saved and not in church-I would like to make a strong recommendation.
If you are saved and have not been taught stewardship-I will give you a testimony.
If you are a saved godly steward-Congrats!

Friday, November 18, 2011

18 Nov 11. Friday and Sunday is coming! How did you see LSD being described in James? Have you noted how many times lessons like Ezekiel 37 have been recorded in the Old Testament? What have you learned about The LORD this week?

Have you reviewed the Biblical verse(s) that clearly explain the obstacles to our prayers being heard or being answered? Who are we trying to impress? Take time to write out your next prayer, check your spelling and make sure who you are speaking to such as the LORD, Lord, lord, GOD, God, or god.

Please read to know Him! luvpj

Thursday, November 17, 2011

17 Nov 11 Thursday Hope you are excited about reading to know Him. The year is closing fast and I pray you complete the year and finish reading through the Bible.As we finished the Stewardship revival last night , hopefully we all sense a more secure connection to The LORD.
We will be in our regular class this Sunday. Bring your questions. Share your new found promise. Tell some one you care for them. luvpj

Monday, November 14, 2011

14 Nov 11 Monday This is Lesson#46 for the 365 Bible Class for 20 November 2011.

Has your attitude CHANGED toward The LORD concerning stewardship because you read this week? Are you connected? Is your heart where your treasure is? Continue to pray for your card partner, your missionary family, the troops and the lost. Seek to share your testimony by using some of the scriptures you have read this week and pray that The LORD would draw them.
Review our reading:
7 - 13 Nov 14-20 Nov
Ezekiel 16:43-28:26; Ezekiel 29:1-41:26
Hebrews 8:1-11:31; Hebrews 11:32-13:25 James 1:1-4:17
Psalm106:1-111:10; Psalm 112:1-118:29
Proverbs 27:7-16 Proverbs 27:17-27; 28:1-5

Key to Ezekiel What a history lesson. Do you know what is the theme of this book? Remember to NOT get caught up with the "object lesson", but focus on who is speaking. What is significant about the fall of Jerusalem? What is significant about the "hope" of the restoration of Jerusalem? What is the hope for the captive? The Jews 1st went into captivity 605; 2nd 597; 3rd 587 and the 70 years was for their sin. The Jews rebuilt the temple 536-516BC. Note Ezk 33:21 as the _____ pint of Jerusalem.

Key to Hebrews *copied from Halley Handbook, Chapter 13, page 655 " Gracious Exhortations- This Epistle, though argumentative in nature, closes with tender appeals to its readers to be Loyal to Christ, and to Follow Him in all the ways of life, especially in Brotherly Love and Kindness and Purity and Goodness, and with Unceasing Prayer and Unwavering Faith in God."

Charges from James: How does Faith show in our testing, work, future and present day fellowship? What is significant about James 1:22 and 2:26?

Sweet spots of Psalms: God's mercy endures forever; Gives thanks for Redemption; Praise The Exalted GOD; Be amazed at His greatness and Good Works; Learn and practice the fear of God; Tremble at the presence of The LORD; Allow The Mercy and Truth of God to satisfy all your hopes and dreams.

Admonitions from Proverbs: Be wary of the fool; Practice and accept open rebuke; Be Prudent; Do right to the poor; Strive to understand all things; Fear God and keep His commandments.

Application suggestions (1) How has James 4 been demonstrated in this week's reading? (2) Compare Ezekiel 34 with 23rd Psalm and John 10. (3) How did you sense the forecast of Jesus in Ezekiel (36:16-37; 37:1-28; 38:1-39)? How does Hebrews 4:14 impact your concept of GOD?

Where and What is the EVIDENCE of your Salvation Experience? Everyone has a testimony! Read to know Him and believe what you read. GOD wants you to know Him.

Tuesday, November 8, 2011

8 Nov 11 Tuesday this will be Lesson#45 for the 365 Bible Class scheduled for 13ovember 2011.**NOTICE ALL CLASSES WILL be combined and MEET IN AUDITORIUM AT 09:45.

As you read this week look for STEWARDSHIP Principles and make sure that you stay "Connected". Has your attitude CHANGED toward The LORD concerning stewardship because you read this week? Continue to pray for your card partner, your missionary family, the troops and the lost. Seek to share your testi mony by using some of the scriptures you have read this week. Pray that The LORD would draw them. Pray about your stewardship (past-present-future).
Review our reading:
7 - 13 Nov 14-20 Nov
Ezekiel 16:43-28:26; Ezekiel 29:1-41:26
Hebrews 8:1-11:31; Hebrews 11:32-13:25 James 1:1-4:17A
Psalm106:1-111:10; Psalm 112:1-118:29
Proverbs 27:7-16 Proverbs 27:17-27; 28:1-5
Key to Ezekiel: As a prophet during the captivity in the countryside he was a contemporary of Daniel who was important in the palace. Ezekiel, probably a student of Jeremiah, demonstrated many of the same preaching similarities. What did you learn because of the key phrases "They shall know that I am God". What did you find was the theme of chap 18? Did you see the fall of David's kingdom and the forecast of the coming Messiah(21)? What did God declare to be the sins of Jerusalem(22)? What was the vision about Lebanon?
Key to Hebrews What differences did you note between the Priesthood of Jesus Christ and that of the Levites? What is significant about "the new covenant illustrated in chap 8?How is the tabernacle in Jerusalem different than The True Tabernacle? How does cahp9 show the New Testament? What is significant in Chap 10 concerning sin-forgiveness? Chap 11 identifies who?
Sweet spots of Psalms Is there a record of repeated rebellions? What principal of Providence did you see? How does praise relate to and impact prayers? What is significant about Psalm 110? Plan to read Psalm 111-113 as a set.
Admonitions from Proverbs causes the reader to want to be "prudent" and not foolish. We all need to grateful and be more considerate of our spouse. Our conversation ought to be an encouragement.

Application & suggestions: Read to know Him!! Holy (-wholly committed and surely connected-) living ought to follow our conversion. Pray for direction in your stewardship. Plan to attend all of the services. Expect to be changed and not just stirred for the ministry of Victory Baptist Church

We will meet for lesson #46 in our regular class 20 November. Please read and be current.

Monday, October 31, 2011

Monday 31 Oct 2011Lesson This will be the lesson(#44) for the 365 Bible Class on the 6th of November 2011
Be aware of the following verses that impact stewardship-praying and daily conversation: Psm 66:18,James 1:5,7;4:3,Ezk 14:3, Isa 59:1-1, Mark 11:25, Lk 6:38.

As you read look for STEWARDSHIP Principles. Are you"Connected"and"Committed to God?

What word do you use to describe The LORD, your Lord? Has your attitude CHANGED toward The LORD concerning stewardship because you read this week? Continue to pray for your card partner, your missionary family, the troops and the lost. Seek to share your testimony by using some of the scriptures you have read this week. Pray that The LORD would draw them. Pray about your stewardship (past-present-future).

Review our reading (31 Oct-6Nov) since last class: Proverbs 26:23-27:6; Psalm 103:1-106:12; Hebrews 2:1-7:28; Lamentations 4:1-5:22; Ezekiel 1:1-16:42.
If we are aware of Jeremiah's feelings and how he warned the Jews not to fear/trust Egypt nor Babylon, but to fear GOD, how do you appreciate his anguish concerning the utter ruin of Jerusalem?
Reading Lamentations should cause all of us to pray more correctly ((Sympathy and Empathy)) when overcome with grief AND to sense GOD's feelings for His children. How do we see GOD's character being portrayed ? What is the key verse/thought of Lamentations? How does this affect your concept of GOD. How to focus on Him and not the circumstances. How oft do you whisper the prayer "but for the Grace of God.."?

Consider how Ezekiel was able to visualize the fall and restoration of Jerusalem. How do you dream while sitting in rubble? How do you stay clean in a dirty place? How do you share your hope of eternal life and The Blessed Hope? WHY is II Timothy 3:16-17 important to you?

Remember that 14 of The Old Testament Books were written during 586-400 BC.

What great "truth" did you gain from Hebrews? Do you consider yourself as earnestly heeding to the things which you have heard? How do you describe Jesus to your lost acquaintances? How do we use Heb 4:12 to encourage others? God caused Paul to warn the Jews about apostasy and Judaism and to remind them that Jesus was/is Superior to Moses. How was stewardship demonstrated by Melchisedec?

When you read Psalm 103 how/why do you not stop and praise Him? What more must The LORD be or do for us to read, hear, heed, obey, trust, praise and expect His Word to come to life in us???? How appropriate is Psalm 106:12 to describe you and me?
Proverbs 26 describes a slothful man. What did you learn about them, him and yourself? The fool is described in Proverbs 27, YET verse 5 is appropriate and akin to Psalm 119:1656.

Home work: keep on reading and praying. Plan on doing some nice, even undeserved, act towards a stranger (be wary and wise) before Thanksgiving. Let us plan to bring a "gift" to class for a family, to be designated, for the Christmas Season and present those gifts in the home as we sing songs of cheer.

Friday 28 Oct 2011 and Sunday is coming!! Are you ready for The Rapture? This morning, 46*,clear, birds singing, clouds in the sky, men dying, summer is gone and America is not yet saved. What do you want most of all? Read to know Him.

Jeremiah was broken hearted for his people and God is broken hearted for His people and Jeremiah. Who are we broken hearted for and what are we "not" willing to give up for their salvation? One day we will give an account,it could be today,Maranatha.

Hope to see you in class Sunday, if not, then in Heaven. luvpj

This will be the Lesson,#43 for the 365 Bible Class 30 October 2011.

As you look for STEWARDSHIP Principles, are you "Connected"?Committed? What word do you use to describe The LORD, your Lord? Has your attitude CHANGED toward The LORD concerning stewardship because you read this week? Continue to pray for your card partner, your missionary family, the troops and the lost. Seek to share your testimony by using some of the scriptures you have read this week. Pray that The LORD would draw them. Pray about your stewardship (past-present-future).

This was the Thirty Eight Lesson for our KJV 365 CLASS-TO KNOW HIM, 1 November 2009.

Review for our reading since last class: Jeremiah> completed (counseled The Jews to not trust Egypt nor Babylon, but to trust GOD) Lamentations >completed (anguish over the utter ruin of Jerusalem)
1st Timothy and Titus> completed (personal letters to Paul's sons in the faith charging them to preach truth, commit to faithful men doctrine and stress godliness while waiting for The Blessed Hope.)
2nd Timothy> completed(last letter written. Emphasis to keep the faith in the church.) Philemon>completed (intercession for Onesimus the slave of Philemon who got saved)
We have read through Psalm104:24(2nd time) and Proverbs 26:26
We have started Ezekiel 1:1-3:15 (fall and restoration of Israel vision while in Babylon)** not yet 2011
Hebrews 1:1-3:19 (shows the superiority of Christ over Moses to the Jewish Christians, warns them against apostasy/Judaism, gives encouragement)
Time line for our reading the Old Testament is o/a 586 BC. The children of GOD are taken into captivity to Babylon(Jeremiah 52:28-30;28 Oct). Then we have the record of their conduct written in Lamentations ( 650-587), 1&II Kings(562-536), Ezekiel(620-570), Daniel(620-540), Ezra(457-420), Nehemiah(423-404), Ester(464-424), 1&II Chronicles(500-420), Haggai(520), Zechariah(520) and Malachi(470)= (586-400BC). Jews went into captivity 1st time o/a 605; 2nd 597, 3rd 587 and returned from captivity o/a 538 and rebuilt the Temple 536-516 BC. The 70 years refer to captivity in Babylon and not the destruction of the temple. Fourteen (14) of the 39 Old Testament Books are written during 586-400BC. From 400BC to the birth of Jesus Christ there are no canonized/accepted writings. Note: Romans 15:4; 1Cor 10:11; 1Pet1:10-12 and Heb 11:39-40
Reading Lamentations 1:1-2:19 and Philemon (Oct 29) Discuss how to pray when overcome with grief to sense GOD's feelings for His children. Consider Paul's appeal for forgiveness. How do we see GOD's character being portrayed ? What is the key verse/thought of Lamentations? How does this affect your concept of GOD. How to focus on Him and not the circumstances.
Home work: keep on reading and praying. Plan on doing some nice, even undeserved, act towards a stranger (be wary and wise) before Thanksgiving. Let us plan to bring a "gift" to class for a family, to be designated, for the Christmas Season and present those gifts in the home as we sing songs of cheer.
** Let me know if you have or will have read your 365 Bible through this year, for certificate purpose **
Monday 14 Oct 11- Hope you were stunned to see the beauty of God's handiwork in the fog early this morning, it seemed as though the grass was covered with diamonds. We couldn't see the Sun, but we knew it(HE)was there, everywhere and The LORD was showing Himself strong and as if shouting, I AM HERE, everywhere, all the time, seek me early and diligently with all your heart. Read to know Him. luvpj

Friday 21 Oct 11 What a great day! What do you think when you see or hear TGIF?
Yea, it is Friday and Sunday is Coming. Thanks to God, I'm free! Hope you are reading every day your 365 Bible. Be at ease and read to know The LORD. He loves us if we read or not, besides we don't have to do something/anything to make Him love us.

We are 3/4Th the way through this year and have read 21 of 39 Old Testament Books and 15 of 27 New Testament Books being exposed to nearly all of the Names of God, all of the doctrines essential to salvation and joy unspeakable. Will you now say that you are better off now because of these Truths?

If you have "been changed", who have you told about this Good News????Thanks be to GOD it is forever! Selah. Share your blessing of being Forgiven! If I don't see you today..Do you have your know that your name is written in The Book of Life? I really would like for us to go to UP together when He comes in the clouds and calls. luvpj

Pray that The LORD would draw them using your account of how you were saved. Pray about your stewardship (past-present-future).
During the week of 17-23 October we have read the following books, chapters and verses:

Proverbs 25:18 - 26:4 Do you enjoy having a tooth broken or your foot out of joint? How do you choose your friends? Does 25:28 impact your stewardship? Are you "still" connected??
Psalm 87:1 - 93:5 As you considered the Majesty of God did this cause you to be thankful? Did you sense any sympathy for the psalmist? Did you change your attitude about accountability for your stewardship because you read? Why should we be thankful for King Hezekiah?

2nd Timothy 1:1 - 2:21 Where was Paul as her penned this letter? What was the message of this letter? What parental influence did you note in chap 1? How can a parent apply 1:6-9 in his family? What was the warning given for Timothy? How would you write your last letter? Are you connected to others?

1st Timothy 2:1 - 6:21 Because you read, does this impact your prayer's purpose? Do you believe that your prayers are in agreement with those of The Lord Jesus Christ? How has this letter affected your life in the church? Is stewardship important? Where does your responsibility begin and end with your giving of money(tithe-offering-alms)???? How does chap 3 impact the church? What warning did you lean in Chap 4? Does God suggest that we discriminate against people? How ought employees act? What stewardship principle did you get in chap 6? Are you connected to the (VBC) church? - How?

Jeremiah 30:1 - 44:23 What is significant about 30:22? How is hope and promises given to The Jews in chap 31? Who is the "he" at 31:10? Compare Hebrews 9:27 to Jer31:30.What snap shot did you see in 32:27? What does God offer in chap33? What back lash happened to Jerusalem (chap 34) because they did not obey? HOW DOES OBEDIENCE RELATE TO STEWARDSHIP?? How does chap 35 describe disobedience? What did Jeremiah suffer akin to Paul? When does the court of the prison(the will of God) become the safest place to be ?How does chap39 impact your concept of God? Do//can the heathen know the will of God for God's children? How are stewardship and prayers linked in Chap42? How many times is too many to disobey known commandments? How do you explain chap 42:22? What best demonstrates the Fear of God? What is considered success when you are running from GOD?

Hopefully, the reading this week caused you to sense, feel, know and believe that you are in fact saved, safe and in the hand of God, The Lord Jesus Christ, and that you are accepted in the beloved, secure and significant to GOD. Is this your TESTIMONY? IF NOT, LETS TALK. The LORD really wants you to know that you know Him as Lord of your life.
Are you better off today because you have read The Word of God? If not, why not.

Friday, October 14, 2011

14 Oct 11 Thank The LORD it is Friday and Sunday is coming! Hopefully you have been reading to know God and you are dismayed at the acts of the people of Jerusalem but encouraged at the mercy of The LORD.

Our stewardship time at VBC is coming 12 Nov and we have the theme of being connected.Connected to God by salvation, connected to The Lord Jesus by salvation, connected to The Truth and The Spirit of Jesus Christ by the Word of GOD, connected to His church by membership and connected to His Words by stewardship in giving.

There is a simple test question; does Holy Living follow conversion? Is James 4:17 true today? Does your testimony start at 2nd Corn 5:17>? Is there any thing that is an obstacle to your prayers? Do you have Proverbs 30:7-9 in your check book?

Are you connected? Can you prove it? Are you dis-connected and you know this for sure? Do you know how to get re-connected? Please, if doubt, let us show you scriptures that will cause you to get truth in your mind and in your heart.
JOY is being Connected!!luvpj

Be prepared to share some of the thoughts /snap shots / concept makers/ promises / Names and attributes of God that you discovered. The key to our success will be that of a diligent search daily as we read to know God and to hide His Word in our hearts that we sin not against The LORD our Lord.

8 Oct 11 During visitation today we tried to visit a "new move in" and would you believe we met the daughter of the man and she said they had lived there for more than 10 years and that her father, the name of the new move in had died in 1995. How do things like this happen? Perhaps the idea is being promoted that things are not bad but good and those that are dead are alive. Strange...

Hope you saw a sure promise in your reading today to know Him. Looking forward to class tomorrow, luvpj

Friday, October 7, 2011

7 Oct 11 What kind of person reads the Words of The LORD and knowingly and willfully disobeys? 52 years ago I made a vow and it is still resounding in my heart and my ears! Almost 55 years ago I made a vow to my wife and I am still bound to my oath! 33 years ago I responded to the calling of God and He has never failed to be faithful, true, just and open with me. What are you bound by and sure of today???

If you read today how can you not be ashamed of your sin and why will you(we)not blush at your disobedience? We all will give an accounting One Day of every thought, action, deed, word and intent of our heart. Take time, if you are saved, and be grateful for 1stJohn 1:9!!!!!
Read to know Him.

Wednesday, October 5, 2011

5 Oct 11 Hopefully you saw the enactment of Psalm 19 this morning.What kind of person would say there is no GOD? After realizing who He is because you have read His love letter to all mankind and you, what kind of person would say NO to The LORD?

Read the Book of Jeremiah and compare where they were and where The USA, The Church and our homes are today. Is there ANY fear of God?

Please read to know Him. If you want to study, look in the Word of The LORD to see how many times "study" is used as compared to "read". Take heed to His instruction. What does "assimilate" mean?

Some of the promises I found from reading daily this week:
Mon 26 Isa 48:16-17, 22, 49:8, 16, 22, 50:7, Eph 4:30, Psm 69:13-14, Prov 24:5
Tue 27 Isa 51:4-8, 52:6, 12, 53:2-12, Eph 5:, Psm 69:33-36, Prov 24:6
Wed 28 Isa 54:4, 16, 55:1-6, 57:13, Eph 6:5-8, 24, Psm 70:5
Thu 29 Isa 57:21, 58:9-14, 59:1-2, Phil 1:6-7, Psm 71:1-2; 9, 18
Fri 30 Isa 60:21, Phil 1:29, 2:5, Psm 72:2-19
Sat 1 Isa 63:16; 65:24, Phil 3:1-2, Psm 73:1,24 Prov 24:14
Sun 2 Isa 66:22, Phil 3:15, Psm 74:12, Prov 24:16

Overview of Isaiah: From the fall of Babylon and the man Cyrus-GOD comforts His people. Visions of The Servant of Jehovah, Zion's Redeemer and Redemption and the Man of Sorrows. The future is expressed for the near and far consummation by GOD.

Overview of Ephesians: While in prison (61) letters were written to The Colossians, Ephesians and Philemon. Church established o/a AD52 during 2nd missionary journey with Luke left in charge. Christian conduct is promoted by commands and exhortations focusing on our life in Christ/Christ in us.

Overview of Philippians: probably the last prison letter(61), stressing our life in Christ. Joy seems to be the focus of the letter. Lydia's home(Acts 16:15,40) may have been the scene for the first church in Europe established o/a 50 AD during 2nd missionary trip. Note 2Tim 3:16-17 desired results.

Overview of Psalms records The LORD's preparation and provision for suffering, getting old and the prosperity of the wicked while displaying the Glory to come during Messiah's reign.

Overview of Proverbs reminds us to be careful of getting counsel, stewardship and poverty.

** Home work **
As you read this week select a promise each day from your reading that has changed your life. Hope you share your joy with the class. Read to know Him! luvpj

Thursday, September 29, 2011

29 Sep 11 Hope you have been reading to know God. We have just returned from a short trip into the hill country where we got to see The LORD's handiwork from a different point of view while riding horseback through rough terrain where the creeks were dry and the wild animals gaunt. But God maintains control over all aspects of His creation and even in starkness there is beauty.

We assigned a new requirement for the 365 class this week in that each member would select a promise they had found in the daily reading. If time were to permit each class member to report a promise verse from each book they had read each day, that would be 3 to 4 promise verses times 30 members times seven days and this for just one week--WOW (3X30X7=630) Do you really believe that is possible??How many PROMISES have you claimed this year for yourself??

The WORD of God is wonderful!luvpj
Hope to see you Sunday with your list of promises that you have found this week.

22 Sep 11 Hopefully you will be overcome by the power of the reading today! I said to one man today that may be the most exciting reading we have had this year. Did you sense any amazement at the bigness of GOD? If this, Isaiah, Ephesians, Psalm and Proverbs, does not cause you to shout, you ain't got no shout in you!! Please revisit your salvation experience and define "when IT ALL changed" for you.
One day I will list 20-30 Biblical phrases that all saved may say. If some one were to ask you "how do you KNOW that you are forgiven and on your way to Heaven", what do you say????Write out your testimony, using verses, names, places, events, changes, hopes, dreams an assurances that are evident in your life since you were born again. I care for you and The LORD God, your creator, wants you to know The Lord Jesus, as your Saviour. How did GOD draw you to Himself??

Wed 14 Sep The admonition given to us today in Proverbs 23:12 is profitable. Perhaps the first need for ALL men and in particular "saved" men is that of obedience to given/known TRUTH. How have you applied yourself unto God's, The LORD's, your Lord's instruction? Please do not try to separate love from obedience.

22 Aug 11 Good morning to all of you. I hope you have been reading your 365 KJV Bible diligently (daily) and getting to know GOD, The LORD your Lord, who is God over all. I've modified the blog by inserting the 365 Sunday School Class lesson for the week. Hopefully as you read your Bible during the upcoming week some of my questions and comments will provoke you to stop, meditate and pray as you read. God is no respector of persons in that what you see Him do in the Scriptures to and for obedient believers and disobedient children who are stiffneck and unrepentant, He will cause His will to be accomplished.
I will post the lesson #34-28 Aug very soon so that what you are reading now and this week you may be ready for class on the 28th. If you do not attend Victory Baptist Sunady School and you have a question please e-mail your question, .

I Chronicles 1:1-10:14 How does genealogy (9:1) impact our lives? How does 4:9-10 impact your prayer life? Saul's life reflected at 10:13-14.How does this impact your concept of GOD?
**Comments from Halley's Bible Handbook, "The Twelve preceding Books of the Bible ended with the Hebrew nation in captivity. These two books of Chronicles retell the same story, and end at the same point. They are a Recapitulation of all that had gone before, with special attention to the reigns of David, Solomon and subsequent kings of Judah. I Chronicles is, in part the same as II Samuel. It has to do with the story of David, prefaced with 9 chapters of Genealogies. The Genealogies cover the period from Adam to the Jews' return from captivity, a sort of epitome of all previous sacred history."
"I & II Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, were, originally, one series of works. Jewish tradition had it that Ezra was the author. Thus, it is seen, the author had access to journals, diaries and public records that are not now known . He also had access to previous Old Testament books. Guided by God, he transcribed that which was suited the purpose of his own writings. So, in this part of the Old Testament, we have a double narrative."
