I haven't seen one. My google-fu turned this up though...

http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/devotions/chronological/?date=2008-01-01

it's available as an RSS feed as well.



Heh. Yeah, sure. Okay then. ;)

If I may take a moment I would like to quote Stewie Griffin when he said to Brian Griffin while sharing a meal in Amsterdam:

[goofy stoner voice]"The only reason we die, is because we accept it as an inevitability" [/goofy stoner voice]

I just wish I could find the clip of this.

So we have at least three people who are interested in a book discussion, and at least three immediate books we're all interested in, with lots of suggestions for other ones.

What do we want to start with?

  • The Bondage of the Will, Martin Luther
  • Christian Faith, Kolb
  • The Book of Concord (a selection from it)
I would be most interested in the Bondage of the Will. My second choice would be something from the BoC.

I've watched Family Guy in the past but...lately it's gotten to be REALLY disgusting. So I usually leave the room if someone watches it.

Hmm. I'm pretty much up for anything...of the reading sort Zec!...anyone else wants to read. I'm going to try and get to the bookstore tonight to get a copy of Bondage of the Will (since if I order it again, that library assistant may just faint.) and perhaps other things if they grab me.

Mmm hmmm! Yeah, the reading sort, that's it! LOL I'm not even touching the "grabbing" comment.

But yeah Family Guy is hard to watch at times. There's things that are wrong and then there's things that should NEVER be said. Family Guy is usually right at the NEVER mark.

to Zec!!

I actually did get a couple of other things. A new copy of Mere Christianity 'cause my copy got caught in the "great pee of 93" (one of my cats was sick and she took to pottying in one of my boxes of books. *SIGH*)

And a copy of The Lost Books of the Bible and the Hidden Books of Eden. Or something like that. I've glanced through it a couple of times and it's interesting in a "huh" kind of way. Somethings to make you blink and go "uh yeah...right. Pull the other one" and others to make you think. Mostly the former rather than the latter though. :D

Okay, that's it! We must share a brain. I too had a copy of The Lost Books of the Bible once too! LOL The funny thing about books like "The Lost Books of the Bible" is that they're not really lost so much as tossed. They didn't make it into the canon. Everybody knew about them though. If these books were really "lost" we wouldn't have books like the one you just bought telling us about the lost books, because we wouldn't know they exist. LOL

Ahhh! SCARY!

It's like you're the younger brother I never wanted. ;) ;)

LOL Yep. Mike questioned me quite a bit on WHY I wanted something that wasn't really THE BIBLE. My main reason was "'cause I'm interested." but there was also "It's a neat study into the minds of strange people...you know, who make things up 'n stuff."

I have a feeling that most of it is going to read like Science Fiction/Fantasy. *G*

From what I remember, and I probably still have that book, it's buried somewhere in the garage I'm sure, it was interesting. But alot of it too, like the Gospel of Judas, which isn't in there is always interesting to me. Exactly when did Judas have time to either teach students or write a gospel? :scratch:

Heh, yep. Proof that it was written sometime in the centuries after he died.
