History
Too many verses to list. See the F. LaGard Smith Daily Bible for the full list. Ryan: Though yesterday began our foray into the book of Proverbs, today we begin going through the individual proverbs themselves, organized by F. LaGard Smith into a topical arrangement. Today’s topics are the Fear of the Lord, Trust in [...]
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 [...]
Psalm 122, Psalm 124, Psalm 133-6, Psalm 138 Ryan: Psalm 136 is a song (or “poem” as the heading in our chronological Bible calls it) that is written in “call-and-response” form.

I would have to agree with that statement. It was so depressing to read that I had to include the clip from Monty Python [...]
1 Chron. 26:12-32, 1 Chron. 27:1-34, 1 Chron. 23:1b, 1 Chron. 28:2-21, 1 Chron. 29:1-22 Ryan: As always happens when we read passages with a lot of numbers, I have to do a little bit of math and research to find a way to put the numbers into perspective. Going through the list of all [...]
1 Chron. 23, 1 Chron. 24:1-19, 1 Chron. 25, 1 Chron. 26:1-11 Ryan: Yet another “job-that-we-could-do-without-if-we-followed-the-Bible”: career counselors.
