OCTOBER 2, 2025 Psalm 106:39 Thus they were defiled by their own works, and played the harlot by their own deeds.

OCTOBER 1, 2025 Psalm 106:39 Thus they were defiled by their own works, and played the harlot by their own deeds. The Bible teaches us that people are tri-part beings — i.e. body, soul and spirit.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 Psalm 106:19-21 They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped the molded image. Thus they changed their glory into the image of an ox that eats grass. They forgot God their Savior.
