1 Chronicles 1-4, Ecclesiastes 10
from Commuter Bible · host John Ross
Alright, real talk: this episode probably isn’t going to change your life, but there are some interesting little nuggets to be found in between the names and genealogies. For instance, there’s, “The Prayer of Jabez,” right? which, if you didn’t live through 90’s Christendom, is the title of a book that says you can be blessed with prosperity if you pray prayers like Jabez. Although the author probably lined his pockets with that book, the section on Jabez simply describes something that happened; it isn’t prescribed for all believers. You might as well say, “Pray Solomon’s prayer and you’ll be blessed with wisdom, a kingdom, and a temple!” It doesn’t quite work like that. Alright, let’s read some names, shall we? 1 Chronicles 1 - 1:07 . 1 Chronicles 2 - 7:12 . 1 Chronicles 3 - 13:26 . 1 Chronicles 4 - 17:00 . Ecclesiastes 10 - 23:12 . :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/[email protected]
