A few months back, the Christian Chronicle featured an editorial entitled, “Will Facebook kill the church?”. As a member of the church myself, I felt that the author of the article did not really grasp what the “church” really is and should be. I wrote a letter to the editor in rebuttal to the article, [...]
Basically, 1 Kings 7, 2 Chron. 7-8, 1 Kings 9, 1 Kings 4, 1 Kings 10, Psalm 72
Ryan: What gripped me the most in today’s reading was the description of Solomon’s throne room. From one perspective, we read this passage (1 Kings 10:14-21, et al.) and think about how magnificent the throne room was and [...]
1 Kings 8, 2 Chron. 5:2-14, 2 Chron. 6, 2 Chron. 7:1-10
Ryan: Today, I was struck by 2 Chronicles 6:32-33 where Solomon prays for the foreigners. In my own words, Solomon prays that as the foreigners pray to a god they do not believe in (the God of Israel), to grant them their prayers so [...]
Basically, 1 Kings 5–7 & 2 Chron. 2-4, 2 Chron 8:12-16 (1 Kings 9:25)
Ryan: Thanks to all “those miserable psalms,” it’s been a while since I’ve gotten to do a nice solid math post. Having gotten to read about Solomon’s building of the Temple of the Name of the Lord, we got another day of [...]
1 Kings 2:13-46, 1 Kings 3:1, 1 Kings 9:16, 1 Kings 3:2-28 (2 Chron. 1:2-13)
Ryan: We read today of an event that I have already referenced several times in which Solomon asks for (and is granted) wisdom beyond that of other men (1 Kings 3:12). What I did not remember before reading this story today was [...]
1 Kings 1, 2 Samuel 23:1-7, 1 Kings 2:1-10, 1 Chron. 29:28-30, 1 Chron. 29:23-25 (1 Kings 2:12, 2 Chron. 1:1)
Ryan: Tomorrow, May 12, is my father’s birthday. (And, now that Mother’s Day has passed, we’re approaching the season for Father’s Day, too.) It’s hard for a son not to think about his father when [...]
Psalm 45, Psalm 47-48, Psalm 87, Psalm 110, Psalm 72:20
Ryan: “This concludes the prayers of David son of Jesse.” (Psalm 72:20). I found this verse to be absurd in its existence. What would have been more accurate perhaps, is “This concludes the written prayers of David son of Jesse.” The “psalter” includes at least 73 psalms [...]
