Prayers appreciated for a former BSU student of mine from just a few years ago. Ben Coker will finally be receiving a heart transplant today at Vanderbilt- where he’s been for several months. Prayers for Ben & his family, the cast medical team, & the loved ones of the donor. 🙏🏼

This is a quote I think about each Election Day. At this I’ve made it more of a prayer. It beats pessimism as a default attitude. Sola Deo Gloria! To God be the glory!

Week 34 wrap up…Mark chapters 7-11 have resulted in fifteen studies for me + an 2 info graphics. This content is dense & rich so I had to take some extra time to chew on it to get more than just surface level. Guess what, there were things here I’d never fully noticed before. And isnt that the point? Out of his goodness, the Holy Spirit is always revealing more of who God is. You can find all of these 7 Arrows at at http://edearnest.com.

Week 32 wrap up…Hebrews 10-13 & Mark 1 have resulted in nine studies for me. Do you know the purpose of Bible reading? Read this carefully. The purpose of reading the Bible is not only to know ABOUT God, but to KNOW God. As you read scripture you should think & pray. Ask God to apply what you are learning to your own heart & life.

Week 31 wrap up…Hebrews 5-9 have resulted in five studies for me. Hebrews original audience was very Jewish- & that really show this week. These people were very familiar with the old covenant system of regulations & traditions. The author is showing that these thing point to the new covenant, Jesus- which is far superior in every way.

Week 30 wrap up…Philemon + Hebrews 1-4 have resulted in five studies for me. I heard a quote this week that stuck with me (paraphrase ahead), “A person who wants to KNOW ABOUT GOD may be driven to the Bible, but a person who wants to KNOW GOD is driven to prayer.” It’s both, isn’t it? Without scripture we don’t know diddly squat about God. But knowledge alone can be unapplied. This is why there are some Bible scholars that have zero relationship with Jesus. Get into God’s Word & let God’s Word get into you to make you more like Jesus. By the way, it’s never too late to jump into a Bible reading plan.
