A few months ago Christy got a “Daily Bible” that allows you to read the entire Bible in one year. The neat thing is that the editor of the Bible arranged the books and topics in chronological order. Also he organized all the Old Testament laws by subject matter as well as arranging the Proverbs by topic. The Psalms are interspersed throughout the relevant Old Testament chronology. Christy really liked getting into it the last few months of 2007 and decided to use it for her yearly Bible reading.

I was looking for the same plan or at least something similar so we could both be in the same passages and be able to discuss them each day together. I really couldn’t find the exact Bible plan that “The Daily Bible” used, so I signed up to have the ESV daily Bible (in chronological order) emailed to me each day. For a computer guy like me, it made it easy to make the time to read the daily portion. But then blessing upon blessing, last week when the church gathered at the Nixes’ home, I saw this “Narrated Bible” which is essentially the same as Christy’s “Daily Bible” except it doesn’t have dates for each day’s portion. Praise God for Tina’s generosity, so now Christy and I can be reading the exact same portion of the Bible each day and fellowship over it together.

If you are interested in having a daily portion of the Bible emailed to you, check out this webpage. These are RSS feeds, but if you want them emailed to you, leave a comment or email me and I can get it done for free. May the Lord bless our reading of His word.

The last book I read was a blessing from the Glasgow family. It was a very informative, comprehensive book about Islam, Israel and the last days. I skimmed some parts but thoroughly read the chapters on Islam. It seems the Lord is sending many Muslims my way lately. Ever since meeting Oumar (a black, French, African, Muslim) in a Best Buy years ago, I have had a great interest in learning about Islam. Praise the Lord that Oumar has repented of his wicked ways and trusted Christ for salvation! What a miracle!
The book went into detail about Islam’s pagan foundations and hateful doctrines. Here’s an excerpt from a heading titled “Earliest Roots of Today’s Islamic Terrorism”:
The way in which Muhammad established his new religion in Arabia - by attacking caravans and villages, putting the defeated to the sword to bring fear and to impose his will on other Arabs - was nothing short of terrorism. There is no other word in today’s vocabulary to describe it. In his Pensees, Blaise Pascal made a comparison: “Mohamet established a religion by putting his enemies to death; Jesus Christ by commanding his followers to lay down their lives.” As another author put it, “Jihad was…accepted [from] the Koran as the direct word of God [Allah]. No one had any difficulty in reconciling religiosity and rapacity. Muhammad had not only made it easy for them to do so, he had made it a virtue by presenting plunder and war as righteous paths to Paradise.”
Here’s a 9 minute clip of Dave Hunt talking about the book.
If you’re interested you can buy the book from The Berean Call (Dave’s ministry) here. Also click this to download a preview of the book (it’s the first chapter and the subject index). May the Lord bless you as we share the gospel of grace with those stuck in false religions.
