Welcome to Delta Force Daily. My name is Myron and I am the Jr. High Director at Village Bible Church in Garden Grove (The Church’s web site is linked at the bottom of the home page). I have been a volunteer in the Jr. High department for 20 years. After years of watching students struggle with a daily Bible reading I thought it might be interesting to read together, plus it will keep me accountable too. I hope this blog will serve that purpose. On the home page are some menus that will lead to information about other aspects of our ministry. Also there is a section called “Did you know?” The purpose of that section is to give information that will help understand whatever book we are reading. Peter tells us that we don’t get to make up what the Bible means. The meaning comes from God who is using the Bible to communicate to us (1 Peter 1:21:22). Paul told Timothy to study the Bible and be careful to interpret it correctly (2 Timothy 2:15). The various books of the Bible were written with a purpose, context, and setting. They were written by some one for some one at a particular time under particular circumstances. But the bible was also written to all of us too. Paul also told Timothy that the whole Bible was profitable for our lives. We need to be careful to look at the original setting and meaning before we think about how a particular part of the Bible applies to us. We cannot read the story of Rahab and think that we should go around lying to others. So we need to read the “Did you know?” pages to keep in mind the setting of the part we are reading. Remember too that the first and most important context of any part of the Bible is the Bible itself. When the Bible tells us that David was a man after God’s own heart and we also read that David committed adultery with Bathsheba we should not think that adultery is ok. Remember in Exodus 20 God specifically told us not to commit adultery. So check back in tomorrow and look at the reading schedule page. I will have the book of Galatians divided up and you can see what your first assignment is for Sunday. I will also try to have a introduction page for Galatians in “Did you know?” Be sure to check out the page on the life of Paul too. And don’t forget to register so you can leave comments. I’d love to hear from you about how your reading is going and what God is telling you through it.
