My Dusty Bible

Transcript: Hey everyone! I am sorry to say I didn't get Isaiah done this month. I'm still recording it and then I'll need to go through it and take out my mispronunciations and various mistakes. I'm feeling confident for it to come out next month though. And after Isaiah, then we get to coast along with a couple of shorter books like the Song of Songs and Ecclesiastes. If you haven't yet checked out last month's episode, you totally should. It's the book of Jeremiah in all its glorious 4 hour runtime. I'm estimating Isaiah to be about 4 hours long as well. I apologize for the delay. I am working on it. It just takes a lot of time for these big books. And hey while you're here, do me a favor and give a quick rating to this show. Preferably, 5 stars would be nice ... but whatever you feel is appropriate, you know, do your own thing. Ratings can really helpful for newcomers to judge whether a show is worth listening to or not. And that rating system is your voice. So if you like this please use your voice to share it. Alright friends, I'm gonna get back at it. I'm going back to recording as soon as i wrap up this little announcement. We'll catch you next [email protected]://www.parableministries.comhttps://www.instagram.com/parable_ministries/--Music created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi

“The day is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah. This covenant will not be like the one I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt. They broke that covenant, though I loved them as a husband loves his wife,” says the Lord (Jeremiah 31:31-32 NLT). --Chapter Time Stamps:00:00 Intro00:19 Chapter 103:41 Chapter 211:14 Chapter 316:55 Chapter 422:57 Chapter 528:45 Chapter 634:29 Chapter 740:51 Chapter 845:30 Chapter 950:32 Chapter 1054:54 Chapter 1159:38 Chapter 1201:03:04 Chapter 1301:07:45 Chapter 1401:12:44 Chapter 1501:17:27 Chapter 1601:21:39 Chapter 1701:27:06 Chapter 1801:30:49 Chapter 1901:34:21 Chapter 2001:37:54 Chapter 2101:40:54 Chapter 2201:46:46 Chapter 2301:54:51 Chapter 2401:56:47 Chapter 2502:03:54 Chapter 2602:08:51 Chapter 2702:13:18 Chapter 2802:16:27 Chapter 2902:22:18 Chapter 3002:26:33 Chapter 3102:34:30 Chapter 3202:42:51 Chapter 3302:48:01 Chapter 3402:52:02 Chapter 3502:55:41 Chapter 3603:01:34 Chapter 3703:05:24 Chapter 3803:10:41 Chapter 3903:14:07 Chapter 4003:17:50 Chapter 4103:20:58 Chapter 4203:24:45 Chapter 4303:27:15 Chapter 4403:34:17 Chapter 4503:35:21 Chapter 4603:40:32 Chapter 4703:41:57 Chapter 4803:49:35 Chapter 4903:57:11 Chapter 5004:06:13 Chapter 5104:18:10 Chapter 5204:24:34 [email protected]://www.parableministries.comhttps://www.instagram.com/parable_ministries/--Music created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi--Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

“Do you think that I like to see wicked people die? says the Sovereign Lord. Of course not! I want them to turn from their wicked ways and live.

The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins (Romans 8:3 NLT)[email protected]://www.parableministries.comhttps://www.instagram.com/parable_ministries/--Music created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi--Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Oh, dear Corinthian friends! We have spoken honestly with you, and our hearts are open to you. There is no lack of love on our part, but you have withheld your love from us.

And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him.

And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water (Hebrews 10:19-22 NLT)[email protected]://www.parableministries.comhttps://www.instagram.com/parable_ministries/--Music created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi--Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing.
