Everybody knows the legendary story of Daniel, the last of the Major Prophets in the Bible, his name means "God is my Judge." His Book was written (in two languages, Aramaic and Hebrew, in the second-century BC (300-200BC), combining History with Prophecy and Eschatology (a portrayal of End Times), cosmic in scope and political in focus. Many like to extract the Sunday School-friendly stories - "the Fiery Furnace Ordeal" (Daniel 3) and "the Li...

The Bible According to Jeanne" Series continues through the Old Testament, and zeros in on "the Major Prophets" first spokesman: the beloved Prophet Isaiah. Chapter by chapter, Jeanne takes you through her perspective of what God's Word said then and what it still says today.

David is probably the greatest example from the Old Testament of a true servant of God. Moses was great, but David's humility sets him apart and above. David was God-centered, that's the way he lived, thought, acted (mostly), sang. Today, with the occupation in our hearts by Holy Spirit, we too can be God-centered. Morning, noon and night, we can say like David: "Lift up the Light of Your Countenance upon us, O LORD! You have put gladness in m...

EXCERPT: "Hello." [WAIT FOR ANSWER] "Hello." [PAUSE] I can wait here all day until you say ... "Hello!" [LAUGHTER] Raise your hand if you've ever heard Michael Gossett begin a concert or a speech or any kind of public speaking, with that little schtick? [PAUSE] For once, I'm not sorry. That was how I began the Eulogy for my beloved brother Michael Leon Gossett, for the audience seated at Christian Life Assembly church in Langley, British Colum...

I'm a believer in Absolutes. I believe in the Laws of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Mathematics, Logic, Cosmology, and so on ... and in the Word of God, the Bible. I believe in the Law of Conception: that when a female's egg is united with the male's sperm, a human being is created, and immediately upon fertilization, the gender has been determined by the father's chromosomes. The embryo that grows into a fetus that is delivered as a h...

From Exodus 7: My imagination takes me to Pharaoh's throne-room where his courtiers are pacing around and muttering, "That Moses needs to go down! Those Hebrews need to be punished again!" Only a small percentage of the Egyptian population grumbled against Moses, most of them were friendly with their Hebrew counterparts, and willingly shared their silver and gold with them as parting gifts. (My goodness, prosperity in a time when the world is ...

The final book of the great prophet Moses, DEUTERONOMY - which means "final word" - is as relevant for life in the 21st Century as it was 5, 000 years ago.

Moses the great Law-Giver wrote five golden books for the whole world to know what Jehovah God ? the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob ? had done, from the (literal) Beginning (when the Earth was created), until the day His people entered their Promised Land. From these books ? even those that seem to be all about rules and regulations, long lists of names and places ? we have the foundation for civilization. Humanity is supposed to live by the ...

Its possible we psych ourselves out of reading ALL of God's Word when we look at the Old Testament and think, "Oh dear, that's all about laws and rules and things that cannot possibly apply to my life today." But think again -- and read it again! In every chapter, Jeanne Gossett Halsey finds a way to apply the Bible to life in the 21st century. If she can find it, so can you!

After completing the "Through the New Testament In A Year" challenge in 2018, and successfully publishing all 12 books that encompass the "New Testament as a multi-volume devotional" ("The Bible According to Jeanne"), I looked at the Old Testament. I realized a thorough examination of these 39 books would take way longer than 12 months to accomplish, so I found a plan that permits chapter-by-chapter reading, plus a few chapters into Matthew to...

When the Apostle Paul wrote to the newly-formed churches he had planted throughout the Middle East and Asia Minor, he could visualize faces and names of real people he had met ... and recalled their challenges and victories as well. These three unique Epistles each bring a different aspect of life as a Christian, both in the 1st century and the 21st century as well. "Jeanne has the courage to tackle God's Word as if it was written for me in my...

The Apostle Paul was a courageous preacher, a talented teacher, a prolific church-planter ... and he had a bulls-eye on his back, put there by his former Jewish colleagues and reinforced by his Roman captors. So he wrote from his prison cell in Rome to the churches he had established and to the pastors he had put in his stead. Chapter by chapter, Jeanne Gossett Halsey walks you through the Bible with a freshness that will make it seem like you...
