NewLSFB547: The New Lifespring! Family Audio Bible – Ezekiel 1-3

I usually take a minute or two after the reading to say a few words about what we read…a sort of commentary, if you will. However, I’m going to have to forgo the commentaries starting today and the next thirteen or so episodes. Why? Well, my youngest son (who currently lives at home with mom and…

God continues, in the chapters we read today, His messages outlining the destruction He will bring to the nations that have seemingly gotten away with doing evil for many years. As I said the last time in my comments on Jeremiah 45-47, God is aware of all the evil man brings upon man. He saw…
