To read the Bible in a year, read Jeremiah 17–19 on October 26, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

Who does not need to hear the word of the Lord? Every person on the face of this Earth needs to hear what the Lord says, for we shall all one day stand before Him and give an account of our lives,

Thus the Lord said to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; and say to them, ‘Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter by these gates’” (Jeremiah 17.19–20). 

However, they would not listen and they paid the price of captivity in a foreign land because of it.
