I am truly enjoying getting to know this translation. Check it out if you get the chance.
Praying your Sunday was blessed.

Back at the end of February, I received my copy of “The Complete Jewish Bible”. I am truly enjoying this translation of God’s Word. There are many nuances covered in the Introduction of the book, but one of the things that has truly moved me is David Stern’s writing about the Bible [Section III - [...]
Today I’d like to give you typical steps to CRAM a book of the Bible. As I said in detail in part II, CRAM is an acronym for Character and Truth of God, Responsibility of the Believer, Attitudes and Actions, and Meditation.
Here’s what a day of CRAMming might look like for you:
1. Pray, asking God [...]
As I said in part I , this is a tool to study the Bible created by Associate Pastor Chris Peterson of Omaha Bible Church. He based this tool on a study of Colossians.
Today, I would like to go over what each portion of the acronym CRAM stands for, and what to do for it.
C-Character [...]
Associate Pastor, Chris Peterson, has developed a tool for Bible study. The women of OBC covered it recently at their Women’s Weekend study. The tool is known as CRAM.
This is how it was explained to me when I asked about its origin: The foundation of the CRAM method is S.S.D.O.P. = Supremacy, Sufficiency, Dependency, Obedience and Praise. Chris [...]
My Complete Jewish Bible, that is. It arrived on Tuesday of this week. I am adjusting myself to the nuances of it. I will share more later on how this translation came to be. For now, let me just tell you that it is an incredible read! What an interesting perspective.
I am studying my Bible using a [...]
~~Barry and I are studying an abridged version of John Owen’s ‘Of Temptation: The Nature and Power of It’. It is called ‘Temptation: Resisted and Repulsed’. We are studying it with our Adult Bible Study (ABS) group.
I cannot stress enough how important it is for the believer to understand that we are not immune to [...]
Yes, even in December I celebrate “Fools Day” (see June 1 post!). We are on day three of exercise (abs are starting to understand they are being worked on every day - and are behaving accordingly ….. sore, sore, sore!), with today being aerobics again. (We do aerobics M-W-F and weight training T-T-S)
Tonite is small [...]
It’s been more than a few days, but here are the manifestations of humility listed in “From Pride to Humility”, by Stuart Scott. (See April 03 post if you do not understand…..)
1. Recognizing and trusting God’s character. (Ps. 119:66)
2. Seeing yourself as having no right to question or judge an Almighty and Perfect God.
(Ps. 145:17; [...]
That’s the name of the 27 page excerpt from “The Exemplary Husband”, by Stuart Scott, I have been reading. Such a small book, but such a powerful impact on me.
Mr. Scott talks about humility - what we cannot do without having it, and pride - how we cannot have it AND have humility on the [...]
That was the question in the day’s Bible study. As one of God’s children, covered in the Lamb’s blood, I have the ability to thwart satan and his tricks. It’s enough to frustrate the living “you-know-what” out of him!! So, what’s he gonna do?
The answer, according to Beth Moore (and I do concur!), is he [...]
