http://nuntime.blogspot.com/2006/12/reversals-of-luke.html
Narrow at the Outset. But as we progress on this way of life and in faith ." The journey of a (relatively) newly professed Benedictine sister who's working hard to dispel as many nun-myths as she possibly can. Sunday, December 03, 2006. The Reversals of Luke. First Sunday of Advent. Psalm 25:4-5, 8-9, 10, 14. Luke 21:25-28, 35-36. When I was just a postulant, the newest of the new kids, I took a course on Luke/Acts over at St. Meinrad. In over my head, once I got my feet under me I. And left on the side ...

Blogging through the Bible: October 2011
http://marcusbible.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 27 October 2011. Gen 15:6 - Living on Credit. And that was the moment something amazing happened. In his heart, Abram said "ok". I. N the next few milliseconds his thoughts would expand into a "yes, that will happen. I don't know how but I will. Wow. Good". But by that time the transaction was complete. I've come to what must be one of the most significant verses in the whole bible:. And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness. The LORD promised the sonless Abram more.

Blogging through the Bible: Gen 16:2 "perhaps I can"
http://marcusbible.blogspot.com/2012/01/gen-162-perhaps-i-can.html
Monday, 23 January 2012. Gen 16:2 "perhaps I can". Sarai makes a shocking statement:. The LORD has kept me from bearing children. Go sleep with my maid servant; perhaps I can build a family through her.". First she says that God has prevented her from having children. Is that true? Remember this is a faithful record of what Sarai says and what she says may not be true just. And I definitely want to avoid wrecking lives by making plans that start from "perhaps I can". 16 May 2014 at 11:49. 1 Acts 2:22 Men...

Blogging through the Bible: Gen 15:2 - What is your "Eliezer of Damascus"
http://marcusbible.blogspot.com/2011/10/gen-152-what-is-your-eliezer-of.html
Sunday, 23 October 2011. Gen 15:2 - What is your "Eliezer of Damascus". Abram's response to God's promise of a reward seems a little muted because there is a hole in his bucket. Since Abram is childless, whatever God gives him will end up with his servant Eliezer of Damascus. But Abram said, "O Lord GOD, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus? Even if that is a bit of a stretch hermeneutically I think the thought still stands. Blogging through the...

Blogging through the Bible: Gen 15:1 - I am your shield (part 1)
http://marcusbible.blogspot.com/2011/04/gen-151-i-am-your-shield-part-1.html
Tuesday, 12 April 2011. Gen 15:1 - I am your shield (part 1). One coincidence one was reading Terry Virgo's blog on the shield of faith. Http:/ blog.terryvirgo.org/the-shield-of-faith/. Another was a memory verse I was pointed towards - see forth. Series "Project Samurai Sword" in my general blog.). I may only skim the surface of this verse but there is a lot more of the bible to read and I am sure the themes and truths will reappear further along the path. Anyway here goes:. Fear not, for I am with you;.

Blogging through the Bible: Gen 11:9 (Babel part 1) a babel fish and a beautiful bride
http://marcusbible.blogspot.com/2010/05/babel-fish-and-beautiful-bride.html
Friday, 28 May 2010. Gen 11:9 (Babel part 1) a babel fish and a beautiful bride. Gen 11:9 [the tower/city] was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth. Now it's time to see why I struggled with French at school. How much easier it would have been to put Douglas Adam's fictitious "babel fish" in my ear than learn page after page of French verb endings. When the sickness is healed in culture and evil ...

Blogging through the Bible: Gen 15:1 - Your reward
http://marcusbible.blogspot.com/2011/10/gen-151-your-reward.html
Friday, 21 October 2011. Gen 15:1 - Your reward. As well the reassuring protective truth that God is to Abraham as shield, there also comes the promise of reward. Not only is Abraham kept safe from harm, but he has promised good. For some reason I remember this verse reading "I am your shield, you're very great reward" (which it does in the NIV), but in the ESV, its "I am your shield, your reward shall be very great.". So which is it? Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask ...
