OOPS OF THE DAY ~ January 3

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

Demon possession has always existed and is as common today as it was during Bible times.

Matthew 4:24  –  Matthew 9:32  –  Matthew 10:1  –  Matthew 12:22  –  Matthew 17:18  –  Mark 5:1-20  –  Luke 4:33-36  –  Luke 10:17  –  Acts 6:16-18

Fact of the Day

No!  Examine the Bible. God allowed demons to reveal themselves only during the lifetime of Jesus and his apostles. Demons having access to our world ceased when Jesus finished proving to the world his power over them.

Notice, he did not do exorcisms and beg them to come out. They were afraid of him. He ordered them. He commanded them. He never begged them.

There is no mention of demon possession in the Christian writers of the 2nd and 3rd centuries – “Apostolic Fathers” or “Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History.”

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

Everyone has to walk through the valley of the shadow of death upon their death.

Psalm 23:4  –  Matthew 4:16

Fact of the Day

No!  For the Christian, light has come to the shadow of death!  It is neither shadow nor death.

OOPS OF THE DAY ~ December 28 (the rest of it)

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

During Jesus early days preaching,  he was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee and saw Peter and Andrew, who he had only met briefly where John the Baptist preached.  But. when he told them to follow him, it was amazing that they dropped everything and did.

Matthew 4:13 and 18-20  –  John 1:44  – Luke 5:10

Fact of the Day

No!  Peter and Andrew lived in Bethsaida, just two miles from Capernaum..  By then, Jesus had moved from Nazareth to Capernaum.  James and John (who were related to Jesus) were Peter’s and Andrew’s fishing  partners.  Jesus  had probably already known Peter and Andrew for years.

OOPS OF THE DAY ~ December 27

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

John the Baptist just announced one day that he was a prophet and, since he was a pretty good preacher, everyone believed him.

Matthew 3:1-6  –  Malachi 4:5-6  –  II Kings 1:8

Fact of the Day

No!  It was much more than that.  First, he dressed in the common dress of prophets at that time – fur and leather.  Second, that kind of dress originated with Elijah, and Malachi (around 400 BC) had predicted “Elijah” would introduce the Messiah to the world.

You’re smart.  Read the Bible for yourself.  Find out for yourself.  Do word searches.

Our heroes

00-Hero Alone-COVER-KINDLE-MediumLord, reach down and show your tender power in a special way to your children who are being severely persecuted for worshipping you. They face loss of jobs, loss of homes, loss of freedom, loss of life rather than deny you. They are heroes and do not even know it. Their courage in weakness declares your glory to those who degrade them. Their determination to never deny you declares your love to those who hate them. You are the one who gives them strength. You are the one who overcomes Satan through them. They are your hands and feet, their unwavering voices, their stubborn wills. To you belongs all wisdom and glory here on earth now, and in heaven forever.

Oh, yesterday was so beautiful and wonderful. The breezes were warm with the door to spring opening up to my part of the world. The sun shone bright in a deep blue sky. The cottony clouds bumped playfully into each other.  Even the fish in the pond nearby wiggled their way around each other while the ducks paddled their little webbed feet just as fast as they could in celebration. Ah, spring. The awaking time. The rest of winter is about over now. Time to plant and go for walks and enjoy the breezes wafting around me. Thank you, Lord, for springtime.
