I almost forgot it was Wednesday! I am hoping I make it through the end of Matthew tonight: I’m sick of it, and judging by the paucity of comments on the last post, sounds like you all are, too! Revelation should be much more fun! Yep, Revelation is where we’re going next. But first we [...]

I am way behind on emails, so my apologies if you have sent me something and I haven’t replied. This week has turned out to be pretty busy. I promise I will get to them in the next day or two. Okay, Matthew 22. We’re going to move pretty quickly tonight! Matthew 22 Back to [...]

We’re almost through Matthew! One or two more weeks! If the poll hasn’t changed by next week, we’ll be studying Revelation next. Exciting! Alright, right to the point: Matthew 20 Yay, another parable! This one about how some dude hires people to work the field for the day. He hires some in the morning, some [...]

(Oops, I accidentally screwed up the posting schedule for this post, and my internet went down for about 20 hours to boot, so my apologies on it’s tardiness!) I keep having problems with the “what do you want to study next” poll. Hopefully, it’s fixed, so if you haven’t voted, please do! Revelation is currently [...]

So in the poll, Revelation is winning for our next book to study! You guys hate me, don’t you? I might have to sneak a few of my parents’ Revelation material before covering that one. They have a nice collection of Hal Lindsey and Pat Robertson books on the Rev. My mom says it’s her [...]

Last week, we got through chapter 12 and left me not particularly caring for Jesus’ attitude. We’ll pick up this week in chapter 13, which can be found here. (Feel free to follow along and add any comments if you think I missed anything interesting!) Chapter 13 Jesus is apparently having a busy day. After [...]

Okay, I confess, I peeked ahead a little last week when I was trying to figure out whether or not Jesus’ disciples actually followed his instructions. He does send them off, but not to cities, and reading ahead, I realized something: I don’t like Jesus. At least, I don’t like Matthew’s perspective of Jesus. It’s [...]

Wow, so according to the poll, most of you do like WNBS! For the few who didn’t, I’m sorry! Just don’t visit the blog on Wednesdays! Or make a comment if there is anything I could do that would help you like them better. So we will continue! And if they ever get old or [...]

Last week, I got through Matthew 5:20. Today, I am going to wrap up Chapter 5 and see how far I get in under 1500 words. Matthew 5:21-48 I have decided that I don’t need Richard Dawkins to be an atheist. The Bible itself, when examined without an emotional lens, makes no sense. And is [...]

Whoops, meant to post this yesterday, but got carried away reading my old journal instead. So Bible study tonight instead, and on Wednesdays from here on out! ETA: I wrote this while on some cold medicine. I just went back through and edited it a bit, because, wow, it definitely sounds like I was on [...]
