Come on a Journey through the Bible with Judy Glasser

A valley of bones. Millions of bones. When God breathed into them - "they came to life and stood up on their feet - a vast army." Ezekiel 37:10. Wow!! Growing up in church, I always thought this vision of Ezekiel should be preached around Halloween because a...

ns bring back great memories for me. I was raised in a conservative Christian family who were members of a conservative Christian church in the Midwest. I don't remember knowing anyone in my little home town who didn't go to church regularly. My father was a talented...

I'll admit. Lamentations is one of the books of the Bible I used to skip. Before I started reading the entire Daily Chronological Bible every year, I tried several different 'Read the Bible in a Year' plans. They usually include a chapter or two of the Old Testament,...

I feel it. Do you? I feel that the values Jesus role-modeled for us as believers are under serious attack in our culture. Loving others, forgiving people, and giving other people grace when they aren't perfect are all getting lost under mountains of political division...

The Book of the Law. Moses' book. God's words. God tells us an encouraging story about King Josiah in 2 Chronicles. King Josiah knew it was time to repair the temple of the Lord so he made it happen. While they were cleaning and fixing the temple, they discovered...

"You are always on their lips but far from their hearts." says Jeremiah (12:2) as he talks to God. He was talking about the people of Judah..... but is he also describing you and me? Do you talk about God while keeping your heart safely out of his reach? Do...

I am 'becoming' something. We are all on the path to 'somewhere'. I decide what I am becoming and where I'm going by my choices each day. I am going one way or another - I'm not standing still. If I'm not doing anything new - not growing - then I am moving backward as...

This place is not my home. As I read what God is saying to me in Isaiah, I realize that I am in exile from my real home. Seeing the bold mockery of God this week at the Olympics makes it increasingly clear to me that I am far away from where I belong. Hearing other...
