Week 95 Day 1: King over Earth ⇧ ⇩
Foreword
We will complete reading the last of the Books of the Minor Prophets, the Book of Malachi. Then, on Thursday, we’ll start on the beginning of the last part of the two-year Bible reading plan: Gospel of John, Epistle of John, and Book of Revelation.
This mini-series is the summary of gospel, from salvation, to sanctification, to glory. Hope you will all find the key to our life’s transformation by gospel and root our life deep in the word of God.
May you all be renewed in God’s word each day!

Meditation: My Story
- Integrity - Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. Do I remember that everything I do shall be done in the light so I would act according to the truth and not hide in the dark?
