  Click on Title for Video Intro Monday, Revelation Intro Revelation Intro Delores Little THOUGHT Most people are afraid to get into Revelation. When you accept Jesus, this book is better every time you read it. The number 7 is in this book 52 times, and it means completeness. Grace is found only twice. You will see Jesus in a new way. You will find this book a book of worship and praise, glory and judgment and new life in the heavens with God. A lot of what is in the Old Testament is found in this book.  So put on your seat belts as we are going for a Spiritual Ride through this great book. As John states in the first chapter, “Blessed is the one who READS the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.” PRAYER Heavenly Father, open our eyes and hearts to hear and understand what You have for us to learn in this book. We praise and thank You right now as You take the lead and drive us through the...

  Click on title for Video Introduction Monday, I John Chapter 5 I John 5 Verses 6-8 Delores Little Verses 6-8: “This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven; the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth. The Spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one."  THOUGHT Chapter 5 deals with faith in Jesus Christ. Here we have the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. Each one does what the Father has them do.  All three are in agreement, and They are one. What helps me understand this better is marriage.  Here we were two different people that got married but became one. How cool is that! Only difference is the God Head agrees, and we sometimes do not.  But still we are one.  What we have is a FAITH IN THE ...

Click on Title for Video Intro Monday, I John Intro 1 John Introduction Bart Strayer Hello everyone. Here is a brief introduction to John. We will start Chapter 1 tomorrow.  THOUGHT John's letter contains some of my favorite material in the Bible. John's letters contain a broad sweeping of Biblical truths and inspiring notations. More notably, part of John's letter speaks of strengthening vital aspects of our faith so that we are more equipped to understand Christian truths from error. It is so important in this day to understand God's doctrine so that we may guard ourselves from the teachers that can lead us astray. That is why it is so important for ALL of us to be in the Word on a daily basis.  Thank God for the Salt Shakers!  PRAYER Heavenly Father, help us to 1earn more about You. Help strengthen our knowledge and faith through your word written by the Apostle John. We pray that you will help us understand the truths you speak of through the Bible.  We are so th...

Click on Title for Video Intro Monday, Job Chapter 40 Job 40 Verse 4 Jane Jones Verse 4:  “I am unworthy — how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth.” THOUGHT Throughout this time of suffering, Job longed to have an opportunity to plead his innocence before God. Here God appeared to Job and gave him that opportunity. But Job decided to remain quiet because it was no longer necessary for him to speak. God had shown Job that as a limited human being, he had neither the ability to judge the God who created the universe nor the right to ask why God’s actions do not depend on ours. He will do what he knows is best regardless of what we think is fair. Salt Shakers, please accept my apologies if I offend anyone when I say this. “It is time for the book of Job to be over.”  I think the thing that bothers me the most about the book of Job is that it all started with the allowance from God to Satan to tempt Job. Satan was allowed to destroy Job’s everything, and from beginning...

  Click on Title for Video Intro Monday, Job Chapter 35 Job 35 Verse 16 Delores Little Verse 16:  So Job opens his mouth with empty talk; without knowledge he multiplies words. THOUGHT Elihu had a lot of “I’s” about himself in this chapter.  How he ends this chapter really shows how little knowledge he had about Job’s life. Job may have complained to God, BUT HE NEVER STOPPED BELIEVING IN HIM. What got to Job was that he wasn’t hearing from God as before.  We know how much we want to hear from God through His Word and how He puts His thoughts in our heads. About 2 months ago I was in prayer and out of the blue these thoughts came to me. “You will be speaking to the Pastor’s wives on Spiritual warfare”. I wasn’t even thinking about that, and it just came to me. I asked why in the world would I be talking to the Pastor's wife on that? Three weeks later I was hugging a lady at church, and she has a ministry for young Pastors' wives from the NE Christian College.  I...
