Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12, NLT). I have three non-negotiable pursuits each day: Yes, I have a goal to have devotions, exercise, and spend time with my wife every day. These three cords are non-negotiable.

[Note: The 1000-year reign of Jesus on earth is mentioned in Revelation 20; the soon 1000th Interruption isn’t mentioned in Revelation 20, but some say both events are coming soon!] The New Living Translation of the Bible was written with children in mind. I think that’s a good idea, and Jesus does too . .

If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book (Revelation 22:19, ESV).

I’m writing my “Reading” posts to help you understand books of the Bible. Today it is Reading Ephesians. After today’s post, I hope that you get an actual paper Bible and read aloud the entire Book of Ephesians. When Paul wrote this book, he meant it to be read out loud in one session. The
Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God. 2 Corinthians 7:1 ESV I used to estimate the promises of the Bible by saying, “Some scholars say 6,000 and others say 1,000. Having never actually counted them myself, I just
