Tuesday, 7 July 2015 and we are nearer to the end than last week. Maranatha! We that have and know The Blessed Hope rejoice in that any moment we may be called out of this world and meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the air!!! Unbelievers will not hear nor know His voice and they will be left behind to deal with the spirit of the antichrist, yet everyone of us will be somewhere 1007+ years from now, either with GOD or with Satan. All dead people and unbelievers will suffer the wrath of GOD.

Lesson # 26 for the One Year Bible Class at VBC, 12 July 2015.

This week we will continue the review of the history of the Jews as recorded retelling the acts of David and the kings of Judah. This may have been prepared after the captivity of Judah in Babylon and in preparations for the return to Jerusalem. 1st Chronicles will focus on David and 2nd Chronicles will focus on Solomon. We will see again the provisions of God and the failures and faults of men; use this review to enjoy the attributes of Almighty God, The LORD. Refine your concept of God and continue to work out your written testimony as you practice writing out your prayers. Read your Bible to know God. Read each day Psalm 5 and strive to get right, be right, do right and don’t quit.

As we read Acts we will see how God presents the gospel using Paul as he appears before Felix, Festus and Agrippa. Get your testimony of how, where and when The LORD changed your life and be prepared to defend your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.

What did you learn about people from Acts 24:25, 25:9, 26:27-29, 27:21-2528:23-29? What attributes did you note in these verses that illuminated God? When was the letter for the believers in Rome prepared and who delivered this epistle? How is your “faith” enlarged by the Law and Grace of God? What does it mean to be “separated” unto the gospel of God?

As we re-read the Psalms we ought to be reminded of the safety, protection and provisions of God. Take time to note the names of God and update your list of His titles and names. Discipline yourself to praise Him every day as you rejoice in His great mercy.

We are reminded in the Proverbs how terrible and powerful the tongue is to hurt and destroy, yet with our tongue we have the opportunity to bless our family and friends. We are challenged to walk in “our” integrity and to not be perverse. We ought to strive to be a true witness and be sure to not speak lies. O that our testimony was the same as that of our Lord’s.

This is not the time to coast or rely on our past accomplishments. Take time to meditate on the scriptures as you read. Hear what saith the Spirit to the churches and believe the promises, provision and conditions. Say often Psalm 1:1-6 and recognize that God does know the way of the righteous. Psalm 19:14 “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.”  

The sin of "UNBELIEF" will separate saved/forgiven sinners from those sinners that hear and do not believe nor receive the Truth that Jesus saves sinners.. Please get right, be right, do right and don't quit. Consider 1st Chronicles 4:9-10, be as Jabez. Take 3 minuets to read in the New Testament the 3rd Chapter of John verses 1-11, 12, 13-36.
