Sunday 31 December 2017, hopefully you have read your One Year Bible cover to cover, Genesis through Revelations, to know God. Of all the near 8000 page hits since inception of this blog hopefully you are one of those that believed God and received His eternal gift of salvation.

I hope you will discipline yourself to read the One Year Bible in 2018. The on-line Bible is available if you do not have a Bible. Meet God early each day to be refreshed in His Truth, have your sins forgiven, receive instructions for each day, enjoy His mercy and walk in His grace for His glory. I guarantee you that as you by faith OBEY God's Word your joy will be full.

We will not have our 365 class at our church this year so there will be no lessons to follow. I plan to write each week some of my observations that I gain because I have read my Bible. I started reading my One Year Bible in 1996 and have been blessed to read it every day since. My wife and I started reading TOGETHER  when we move to Texas Jan 2000 and by God's grace read this morning finishing 2017.

Each of us can do what we want to do. Each of us will be drawn to obey the Holy Spirit--IF we are sons of God. The LORD of hosts, The Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit agree and they are always in agreement with the written Word as recorded in the King James Version of The Holy Bible.

My sincerest desire is that all of you come to the sure knowledge of salvation, redemption, forgiveness of ALL sins, born again into the family of God. You can read my testimony in the blog of how God used people to share the gospel with me in 1977.

Read John 1:1-14, SELAH, read John 3:1-36, and admit to God your revealed condition before The thrice HOLY God. Look at Ephesians 2:8-10 and the II Corinthians 5:17-21 and admit to yourself that you are lost or saved. If lost, cry out unto The LORD of Lords, confess your are lost and that you want God to save you by the shed blood of The Lord Jesus, taking your sins away and giving to you the righteousness of Jesus Christ, a free gift because you believe and have by faith asked for forgiveness. Re-look/read John 1:12      GOD loves you  Please let me know if and when you get saved.

Here w are Wednesday 13 December 2017 waiting for the shout and command to come up to be with the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be a SIGHT to see the graves open and those that are asleep in Jesus come up and out of the grave to be with Him in the air. Maranatha! Where will you be a 1 minuet later - a day - 100 years from the rapture? Hebrews 9:27. James 4:17. John 3;12. John 3:16, 36. You are either in/on the Lord Jesus Christ or off/out of the will of God and separated for ever from GOD.

This is the last lesson for the 2017 for our Sunday School Class at Victory Baptist Church, Weatherford, Texas. We started reading the One Year Bible 1 January and have read each day to know God. Hopefully you have been reading the on-line Bible also to know God.

Lesson # 51 One Year 365 Bible Class (read 11-17 Dec)          VBC        17 December 2017

This will be our last class together for 2017. I pray you remember our goals we started with 1 January. You said you would “strive” to read your Bible every day of the year, you would write out your salvation testimony and practice writing your prayers using God’s proper names, titles attributes and traits.  Get it done, Psalm 119:165.

You are now better prepared to serve in our church  because you have “disciplined “ yourself to read, and to hear and obey the LORD’s Word, ways, commandments, statues, precepts, law, testimonies, righteous judgments and sayings. If you are not right with God (James 4:17), get right, then be right, know right, do right and don’t quit.

You need to complete reading the last of the Old Testament Prophets letters, Psalms, Proverbs and the Revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ. Continue to look for God’s attributes, his names, promises that are applicable for you today, admonitions to avoid sin (s) and the path made plain as per John 3:12. Consider Amos 3:3 and 5:4-8.

Hopefully you gained an appreciation for obedience as you read Jonah. Perhaps you have decided that even when you are overtaken by a fault, caught and chastised, that you will “yet look again toward thy holy temple” Jonah 2:4b. Revelation 5 makes plain “who is worthy to open the book and to lose the seals thereof” so that we may say Amen. Psalm 133 provides encouragement to keep on being thankful and grateful.

As you read Micah on 15 December you were reminded of God’s holiness and the sinfulness of all men. Every man has the choice to make and that is to either follow The LORD or a god of their own imagination. The man that sat on the white horse in Revelation 6 was not the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed are those who will believe the gospel and “we” will wear white robes.

Look at Micah 5 for the prophecy of the birthplace of ruler in Israel. Make Micah 6:8 a pattern for the rest of your life. Look forward to that Day when God will bring you forth to the light so that you may behold his righteousness. Rejoice as you read Revelation 7 knowing where you will be when this grand event will take place. Take time to read Psalm 135, Selah, and then bless the LORD. Believe that every word of God is pure.

Nahum is the history of Nineveh. Pay attention to God’s warnings not heeded and allow this to temper your obedience to His Commands. How is your “fear of God” impacted because you have read today?  Woe, woe, woe is pending those of unbelief. Be persuaded to win the lost at any cost. Read and re-read Psalm 136, then give thanks. **Take time to make Proverbs 30:7-9 as your stewardship guide / checkbook verse.

Habakkuk is applicable today if one is concerned for his nation. How do you pray for your people? There is hope for us when we hear, believe and obey God and then be just and live by faith. Pray verse 3:1-2 with tears and righteous hope. Read and believe 3:17-19 and live like you are a son of God. Allow Revelation 9 to impress you with the deceitfulness of sin and the stronghold Satan has on unbelievers, yet it is the LORD who opens and closes the bottomless pit. What song are you singing today?

Zephaniah records that God will and has judged all men, judged all families and all nations, then read 1:14-18. Look carefully at 2:3 before you read 3:5-8. Now rejoice by reading 3:9-20 and be thankful for God’s mercy and provisions. Our work as ministers of reconciliation is not over, so be busy about our Father’s business. Appreciate Psalm 138:2b as you read the Word to know God. Consider the “promise” at verse 8 when you are overcome and in doubt.

Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi are the prophets God provided to the Jews as they returned to Jerusalem after their 70 years of captivity. All men are warned to “consider your ways” when establishing priorities for daily life. Is the LORD preeminent in your life? Revelation 11 shows the activities of the two witnesses that are to occur in the midst of the seven years of the tribulation what attributes of God did you see today? God is shown to be Omniscient in Psalm 139 and believers will call for the LORD to make verses 23-24 real and true each day. Read your Bible to know God.

Thanks for sharing your time with us this year in our class. We pray that you have been blessed as you made the LORD your Lord each day because you read your Bible to know Him. We pray as you return to your regular class Sunday 7 January 2018 that you will be fruitful and participate by encouraging others to read their Bible to know God


I PLAN TO CONTINUE TO READ THROUGH MY ONE YEAR BIBLE - WILL YOU MAKE A COMMITMENT TO READ EVEY DAY IN 2018?

I hope you all from  Australia, Belarus, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Latvia, Malaysia, Netherlands,  Panama, Philippians, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Turks and Caicos Islands,Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA, Venezuela, Vietnam, will make this your page of joy and hope.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. May God get your attention to the eternal point of The HOLY SPIRIT drawing you to The Father in the name of the only begotten Son, Jesus so that you will hear and believe the gospel, Jesus saves, you are a sinner and you must be born again. Please read John 3:1-36.

Yea for Tuesday 5 December 2017. This could be the day that the graves will be opened and the dead/asleep in Jesus will be resurrected and THEN we who have been redeemed will be called up in the air with them and we will be with the Lord Jesus Christ forever. O what a DAY! Are you prepared to meet God today? There are two kinds of people either saved (saint) of lost (ain't- unbelievers). Please read the Bible to know God. Read the on-line Bible at the blog each day before you consider the lesson comments.  I hope you are my brother, a believer, born again, redeemed and on your way to heaven, forgiven in the hand of Almighty God child of The King of kings.

Lesson # 50 One Year 365 Bible Class (read 4-10 Dec)   VBC 10 December 2017

Congrats!  We are near the end of 2017. 

Mon 4 Daniel 11:35-12:13;1st John 4:1-21;Psalm 123:1-4; Proverbs 29:2-4;How does God's description of Satan help you in facing adversity? What did Daniel learn about the time of tribulation? How do you apply the instruction given in John 4? Did the Psalm make you feel guilty? Is the proverb applicable today?

As we read Hosea, know that he was first of the 12 Minor Prophets and he was a prophet unto the Northern kingdom following Elijah, Elisha, Jonah and Amos. We will read about Israel's' idolatry, wickedness, captivity and the future restoration. God hates sin but loves sinners. How did God use Hosea's family life to show Israel's sin? 

Tue 5  Hosea 1:1-3:5;1st John 5:1-21; Psalm 124:1-8;Proverbs 29:5-8;Is it always easy to obey God? How is this similar to the parable of the prodigal son? Do you believe john v5:5? Did you see eternal security at v11? How do you praise God because of Psalm 124:8? Why do you sing after reading the proverb?

Wed 6 Hosea 4:1-5:15; 2nd John 1:1-13; Psalm 125:1-5; Proverbs 29:9-11;How does Hosea 4:6 apply to "us/USA" today? What attribute of God is shown at v5:15? What restriction did you note in 2ndJohn? How do you pray for others using Psalm v4? How may the wicked influence our lifestyle?

Thu 7 Hosea 6:1-9:17; 3rd John 1:1-14; Psalm 126:1-6; Proverbs 29:12-14; What did God discover in Ephraim? What did you learn about God at v8:14? How did God use John to instruct the church? How is stewardship shown in the psalm? How does God judge the king?

Fri 8  Hosea 10:1-14:9; Jude 1:1-25;Psalm 127:1-5;Proverbs 29:15-17;How does Hosea 10:12 influence your conduct? How does God judge Israel in chapter 12? How is Jehovah shown in chapter 13? Why did Jude want his people to earnestly contend for the faith? Do you believe Psalm 127? Do you enjoy rest and peace in your soul?

The Minor Prophets were designated minor due to the length of the writings. Look to see how the Gentiles are included with the Jews. Look for the Gospel to be presented. Be aware of the signs indicating David's rule, repentance offered to a sinful nation, and announcements of the birth of Jesus.  When you read the Revelation of Jesus Christ focus on Him and not just His. Practice praying back the Psalms and Proverbs.

Sat 9 Joel 1:1-3:21; Revelation 1:1-20; Psalm 128:1-6; Proverbs 29:18; How does v15 cause you to tremble? How do you see John 3 similar to chapter 2? Who is in the valley of decisions? What promise did you note in chapter 1 of The Revelation? What promise is similar in Psalm 128? What truth is verified in the proverb for today?

Sun 10 Amos: 1:1-3:15; Revelation 2:1-17; Psalm129:1-8; Proverbs 29:19-20; How does God measure transgressions? How does v3:2 of Amos catch your attention? What attributes of God are shown in Revelation chapter 2? What truth is given in Psalm 129:4? What is the result of speaking before thinking?

If you will read my testimony at the blog site and follow the scriptures you will know God's Word, will and way of salvation for yourself. I sincerely pray for your salvation.
