A dear friend is staying with us. A person who has been a Christian for many years but struggled with reading the bible. We know her "pain". She read it as a devotional because she did not know how to approach the Bible. This book is 66 mini books with 37 authors! They tell a SPIRITUAL story (derived from the Spirit of God through men about God's agenda for us). When Mary and I began to study the bible together and alone we changed our approach because of Dr. Baruch Korman's point: "We are to live a praiseworthy life to God". This meant we should approach the bible to find out how to please God. When we started our study of Exodus several years ago we had no idea that this story of the Hebrews leaving Egypt was a picture of our Christian life. "What did you just say, Ric?" Take a look at some of the themes in Exodus and overlay them in the gospels and you will see the themes there! (Example: wilderness, bondage, and sin, redemption with the Passover lamb, Matthew 5 and Exodus 20 are parallels) So today, sit down with your bible and ask the Lord: "Lord will you train me to study so I can please You regardless of what it costs me? Oh and regarding the cost, will you change me so I will obey you when I can't? And have Your Kingdome come on me please". Those are prayers that are praiseworthy to God because they line up with His Will. BTW our friend? She joined us for our study of Exodus this morning and she had never seen this change of approach and she was heartfelt glad and visibly touched. Join us in our pursuit of God's agenda for our lives. The promise of His opening scripture to us is contained in Proverbs 1.

Understanding Biblical Prophecy is so important for those of us who want to study the Bible to be obedient to God. Dr. Baruch Korman teaches on Matthew 24:32-44
Dr. Baruch Korman discusses Matthew 23:32-44 at Bible Study Company First Annual User Conference, and its relevance for us. Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy and lining our lives up with prophecy is crucial. For example, we will be with the Lord in the Millennial Reign of Christ thus should we not get ready now while in this body? But how? How do lay-people learn to understand the symbolism? The Lord will help us if we are committed to His plans and purposes. Watch Dr. Baruch unpack this key Scripture describing the last days time-lines. Join us for this great podcast.
