Click on the Title for a Video Intro The Last Biblical Shaker Post The Bible Biblical Shakers, this is my last posting for my blog.  Last week I finished with the last devotional post for every chapter in the Bible, and this week I want to concentrate on the importance of reading the Bible and actually “Being in the Word’. First of all, there are some facts that I want to share with you. The Bible is a collection of 66 books in most Protestant Bibles (39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament).  It was written over a period of approximately 1,500 years with more than 40 different authors contributing, including kings, prophets, disciples, shepherds, fishermen, and a physician.  The Bible was originally written primarily in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek and now is the most widely distributed and translated book in history.   The longest book in the Bible is Psalms counting 150 chapters.  The Old Testament contains 929 chapters, and the New Testament c...

THOUGHT Here we have the image of the final judgment with Christ separating the faithful from the unfaithful with the sickle in his hand. Christians rejoice in the long-awaited reward of an eternity with Christ. All of our years of following Christ now have the next chapter to be written. All of the years following Christ now make sense to the masses. I was reading in my devotional this morning, and I liked the following few sentences: “WE are not told to ‘walk in the light’ of our conscience or in the light of a sense of duty, but to ‘walk in the light as He is in the light’. (1 John 1:7)  When we do something out of a sense of duty, it is easy to explain the reasons for our actions to others. But when we do something out of obedience to the Lord, there can...
