e-Bible Reading
The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts. -A.W. Tozer
My question for the professional Christian this week comes from I Samuel 28. It talks about the death of Samuel and I want to know - if Samuel is dead - who wrote 2 Samuel?
In our readings this week Saul tries to call Samuel up from the dead - and to the absoulte amazement of the witch who is doing it for him - succeeds. Samuel flat out tells Saul that he and his sons will be dead tomorrow - and at the end of the next day’s battle Saul, Jonathan and 2 other sons were dead. After Sauls death there is a war between Saul’s family & David - but finally in Chapter 5 of 2 Samuel David is made king of Israel.
I love reading the gospels - I think if I were stuck on a deserted island and could only have part of the Bible with me - I would take the gospels. I love to read about Jesus. In our chapters this week Jesus continues to heal and teach - including some of the best parables!. We see the increasing hatred of the Pharisees, John dies, Jesus feeds the 5,000 and Peter briefly walks on water. This is a true-life action story!
