I am currently preaching through 2 Timothy.
As is an exercise with me, I try to paraphrase the passage I am working on. This is a modest attempt to capture some of Paul’s glorious counsel to Timothy through the Spirit’s inspiration (to Paul, NOT me).
I hope you find it helpful.

Yesterday I gave you my one-word (in most cases) summaries of the books of the Old Testament. The idea is to help in memorization and being able to quickly digest and keep the stream of redemptive history in mind.
Today – we’re movin’ on!

As you know, the daily Scripture readings I list here, are the ones we as a Church are reading through, using the Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan. So many have commented on how they are enjoying it, and getting exposed to passages they’ve shied away from in the past. Awesome!
Since there are only 25 readings per month, we get a few days to play catch up and today I thought I’d give you just a few things to keep in mind as you are reading.

Walk in Wisdom – Gleanings from the Scripture
Scripture Readings for April 24, 2006 – Mark 9:1-13; 1 Cor. 15:29-58; Ps. 93;
Ruth 2-3.
Catching up from the weekend, I offer you Psalm 91 in verse. Because I’m too techno-challenged to know how to reproduce it here in columns side by side, you’ll just have to have the text first, and then the verse form below it.

This weekend was our annual conference – as I’ve been blathering about for the weeks leading up to it.
By God’s grace, this year’s speakers were Michael Haykin – Principal of Toronto Baptist Seminary (see his excellent blog HISTORIA ECCLESIASTICA HERE) and the inimitable D. A. Carson (Research Professor of New Testament Greek – See CHRISTWAY MEDIA HERE) and it was a rich time indeed.
But the lessons I personally learned were more in observing the men themselves than the actual data they conveyed. And that’s saying a LOT, given the profound expositions and exhortations we heard. I’ll tall you more about it below.

repentance, he would have remained strong in the Lord. How about you?
