Bible Studies
For the past year the Lord has been having me write chronological studies of books of the New Testament. And I have been keeping those in collections on my computer by books of the Bible. My husband has encouraged me to create a new category and subcategories for those who might want to read these particular studies by book. Each one is from my personal devotions and they may not cover every verse or every chapter, and they might be in reverse order by chapter since that is the order in which they were posted, i.e. the last will appear first. This is a work in progress, so this may take me a while to recategorize and retag each post. I hope and pray this is beneficial to you.

World Domination, Tyranny, and Oppression
“Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie;In the balances they go up;They are together lighter than breath.Do not trust in oppressionAnd do not vainly hope in robbery;If riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.” (Psalm 62:9-10 NASB1995) I wondered what was meant by “men of low … Continue reading World Domination, Tyranny, and Oppression
