Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Job 34-35 Devotional Thought: Elihu listed two of what he understood Job’s complaints to be: “God is unjust” (vs. 5-6) and “There is no profit in serving God” (vs. 7-9). He answered the first complaint in verses 10-37 and the second complaint in chapter 35. It is sad that we as…
Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Job 32-33; 1 Cor. 11 Devotional Thought: First Corinthians 11 starts out with Paul establishing that God has a structure for us to follow in both the home and in the church. The head of the woman is the man, the head of every man is Christ, and the head of…
Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Job 30-31 Devotional Thought: I cannot even understand the depth of Job’s despair, the monument of hurt and sorrow, or the level of shame and disappointment.

Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Job 28-29; 1 Cor. 10 Devotional Thought: In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul is speaking against idolatry!

Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Job 17-19 Devotional Thought: James chapter 3 teaches us that words can help or they can hurt.

Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Job 14-16; 1 Corinthians 6 Devotional Thought: Job 14:13-15 says, “O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all the…
Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Job 11-13; 1 Corinthians 5 Devotional Thought: In Job 11, Zophar reproves Job in order to justify himself. It is such a hurtful and damaging thing when someone puts down another person in order to feel better about themselves. In this chapter, Zophar gives some pretty good advise if the premise…
Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Job 8-10; 1 Corinthians 4 Devotional Thought: It is the habit of man to compare people to each other. We rank pastors according to the size of their congregations, number of books they have written, or the size of the conferences at which they speak. We compare businessmen by the size…
Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule: Job 1-2; 1 Corinthians 1 Devotional Thought: There is no secret that the Corinthian church was full of carnality.
