I’d like to say I’m glad I left the KJV-only movement. Sadly, the KJV tends to lack sub-headings which makes it difficult to do some pausing. I decided to use the NIV with its sub-headings to focus on topics. This time, the lesson is on Artaxerxes I Longimanus’ decree, a decree given by providence. The ..read more

While I’m still stuck with Ezra 7, I’d like to share Pastor Paul David Washer’s statement on spiritual gifts and tongues. I was listening to this and there are times when supernatural intervention happens. When I was nearly hit by the truck, I felt like the hand of God was there and not random luck ..read more

As I was digging up some history lessons, I recall getting this book called The Children’s Bible after I had my first communion. It’s a Roman Catholic publication by Sinagtala Publishers. Currently, Juan Marques Suriñach is already in his 90s, and he’s still alive, unlike Benedict XVI. Right now, I’ve already lost my own personal ..read more

Before I continue studying the Book of Ezra, I’d like to recall this manual I had when I was still a Catholic, by default. By then, family troubles got worse and I wondered if becoming a priest might provide an answer. Secretly, I wanted to become a Catholic priest. That’s probably why I kept watching ..read more

I find myself stuck in Ezra 7. There’s the letter of Artaxerxes I Longimanus that needs to be studied. To do so, studying history with the Bible is absolutely recommended. That was the style the late D. James Kennedy employed in writing his book Why I Believe. I’d look at some secular sources to look ..read more

Instead of breezing through Ezra 7, studying the first ten verses would be better than learning the entire chapter immediately. When it comes to Bible reading, slowing down can be necessary many times. That’s especially true if one chapter contains more than one topic. Back then, the books of the Bible were one long narrative ..read more

After Ezra 5, it might be a good idea to chew on Ezra 6. In Ezra 5, Tattenai and Shethar-Bozenai were trying to stop the work of the Jews. Tattenai sent a letter to Darius the Great requesting to search the royal archives. Tattenai, a pagan, wanted to make sure that Cyrus the Great truly ..read more

Ezra 5 begins with Haggai and Zechariah, two different men with one common mission. The two prophets remind me of a former foe and a friend who helped me move forward from my petty grudges against the former foe. The rebuilding was halted for around 15-16 years. Zerubbabel, a descendant of David through the lineage ..read more

I don’t care if people refuse to believe the evidence. The important thing is I believe the evidence. This Easter Sunday, a good reading would be from John 20:1-18. We have redemption given such as how Mary Magdalene, a woman formerly of ill repute, was given not just a chance but a change. Mary Magdalene ..read more

A good Easter Sunday study would on doubting Thomas. Thomas himself was the skeptic. It’s only natural for Thomas to have his doubts. A good question to ask anyone is, “Would you believe me if I told you, that someone who died three days ago, just rose again?” Let’s say that person was a very ..read more
