Darby (See link below) + prepare for Manna and memory.

This week we'll read in the Darby translation. Either read in a physical Darby or with the attachment. We want to notice his paragraph breaks. They are based on hints from the Greek text so this time they're more useful than other times based on logic or someone's outline.

Since this translation is a fresh translation (not based on KJV) we'll read it once without comparing it with any others.

This translation was meant for study and was not built for reading out loud. It is too exact. Darby himself recommended people still read with KJV since it reads so well. But for Bible study his translation is amazing. The RV translation that we just read consulted with Darby's text throughout their own translation. It is commonly marked with the final date of 1890 but his first release was in 1867.

And a note for preparation for next time: Starting in week 10 we'll begin to take up a verse to meditate on, consider, memorize. I'll explain more later, but it would be helpful if we could all make sure we have some 3" x 5" flash cards for this part of our study. It can be done in other ways but it would be nice if we all tried it out this way for our 1 John study while stile coming up with our own styles or methods.

Crave the word

So glad for this verse today: as newborn babes desire earnestly [crave] the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation - 1 Peter 2:2 Try reading 10 chapters by the choice of craving and then read some more by the reactive desire of it. How often are my 5 or 10 second moments spent checking some other happiness than Christ? In 5 seconds I can check notifications or I can chew on my manna for the day. In 10 seconds I can check for new emails or rehearse that verse I've been trying to memorize. I can spend just 5 minutes listening to the news or I can spend it finishing a daily Bible reading portion. Mother's milk is the best thing for the newborn baby. The milk of the word is the best source of joy all through the day. "crave ... the word ... if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good."

The mystery of Israel: a conversation about prophecies and modern events

This is not a message, it is more of a discussion that I’ve been having with several people by phone call or email or chat or in person. This only includes some notes on it but I wanted to share a more comprehensive view all at once.

God Has Spoken Series

Question: Where can I get the audio messages of Stephen Kaung's God Has Spoken series? If I could recommend only one book or series by Stephen Kaung it would be his God Has Spoken series. He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on. Below are links to each of the original messages. Old Testament Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-...
