John the Baptist was definitely an interesting character. One of the things I love about him is he speaks his mind and never worries about what others may say about him. John was completely single minded in his purpose on earth. There was no doubt why he was here and he devoted his entire life to announcing the coming of the Messiah and fulfilling prophesy. In Matthew 3:3, John shows through scripture what the prophet Isaiah had to say, This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ “ John’s purpose was also to teach how the message of repentance is good news to those who listen and seek forgiveness through the power of God’s healing love. John’s message is no different today than it was over 2,000 years ago.

Welcome to 2015!!!

Welcome to 2015! This is the start of our 4th year reading daily in God’s Word. Each year we approach our reading a little differently. This year we will still read the New Testament, Proverbs, and some Psalms. And we will also continue with “reflection” posts on Sundays to give everyone a little break and allow people to catch up if they fall behind in their reading. The difference this year will be the order in which we read. We will start with the Gospels of Christ (after His birth) and then read through the Letters (we will not read the book of Revelation this year). We will then read proverbs and some Psalms. Finally we will finish the year with the Birth of Christ. The thought process for the new order is to better correlate our reading with Christmas and Easter.I will post a permanent link later today for the 2015 Bible Reading Plan.

May you all have a blessed New Year!
