September 23: Reading the Holy Bible in a year.

Colossians 3:18-25. The Apostle Paul listed the rules for holy living; proper relationships in the christian home and rules for the workplace.

Jeremiah 8 tells of the valley of slaughter, of sin and punishment and ends up with the question : “Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there?“

Jeremiah 9. “The weeping prophet” Jeremiah mourned for the people and the people mourned as they received judgment.

Jeremiah 10. The fight is spiritual: God versus idols. Yet, Jeremiah prophesied about the coming captivity of Judah, which led to Jeremiah’s prayer.

Jeremiah 8, the valley of slaughter, Sin and Punishment, Balm in Gilead.
