1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 39

 Week 39—1st John Bible Nerd-Study

Week 39! normal + 1 John 4:15-19 manna and memory

Let's just read and meditate/memorize for the rest of this week. We've had a lot of commentaries placed on the table. Some of these I've been hunting down and purchasing also since I liked them so much. Not sure about you all, but I'm on the computer so much during the day for work that I love to read physical books. Audiobooks are great for when I'm still moving around or driving. But sitting down with a physical book is like a campfire to me--just perfect. 

I thought it'd be helpful if some can share some highlights from any parts in any of the commentaries that they've checked out. Anything new discovered? Most of us will only get to read a portion of each commentary so it'll help a lot of you could bring out something you've discovered. 

This week I ended up finally getting back to the 1 John series of messages here in Richmond. So far with 2 messages I've made it to 1:7 - But we did get into the general outline a little bit. Those messages are especially to get into the experience of the word as shared. There are many little notes to add in. So as part of my own studying, I'm taking the transcripts and adding in notes and other helps that will probably not make it into the series but are helpful. I'm hoping to cover each verse by end (it may be 12+ messages so far). Thank you all again for all of the encouragement in doing this together.

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-...
