Psalm 111: 1-10 “Praise the LORD!  I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.  The works of the LORD are great, studied by all sho have pleasure in them.  His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness endures forever.  He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.  He has given food to those who fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.  He has declar

“Q-bot.  If you will.  A study supplement on the Fear of the LORD?”  Moose sips his coffee. “Brzzzt.” The readout reads: FOUNDATIONAL DEFINITIONS 1.  Proverbs 1:7“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” 2.  Proverbs 9:10“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” 3.  Psalm 111:10“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good un

Hebrews 3: 1-6 “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.  For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who build the house has more honor than the house.  For ever house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.  And Moses indeed was faithful in all His

John 14: 6 “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Moose pours himself a steaming cup of tea and settles in at the helm.  The mug warms his hands, the faint scent of caramel curling into the recycled air.  Outside, the stars drift by in slow procession—silent witnesses to the ship’s long journey.  CS01 hums quietly, her systems content, still in steady transit to the First Last Stop.  It’ll be a while yet. Mo

John 15: 13 “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” “CS01, set a course for the First Last Stop.”  Moose lifts his coffee from earlier in the morning.  It’s cold, old, stale, and exactly how he likes it.  As is.  For this time.  He slurps a sip and places the mug back down on the helm of the ship careful not to spill on the CS01. “Course set, Captain.”  CS01’s core begins to thrum, her thrusters flaring as they come to life. “Greater

James 3: 13 “Who is wise and understanding among you?  Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.” “Today we ask a question and we pray God will teach us.  Do we celebrate Halloween?”  Moose looks up a moment from his Bibles strewn about the helm.  Art-bot works quietly in the corner, Q-bot is busy looking up information.  “Here is a suggested study.  Questions?  Send me a message and Lord willing I will get to it.” Deuteronomy 18: 9-14 I

Proverbs 2: 1–5 “My son, if you receive my Words, and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.” Moose spreads himself out across the commissary table — papers, Bibles, and half-fini

Romans 12 : 1–2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God.” Moose snaps awake, blinks, rubs his eyes, and pulls his hat brim low. A mug of room-temperature, stale coffee sits on the helm nex

Romans 12: 1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God.” Moose picks one of the Bibles up off the helm and turns through its pages.  He turns quickly, gently, the pages flutter and crinkle

Psalm 110: 1-7 “The LORD said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.’  The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.  Rule in the midst of Your enemies.  Your people shall be volunteers in the day of Your power; in the beauties of holiness, from eh womb of the morning, you have the dew of Your youth.  The LORD has sworn and will not relent, you are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.  The Lord is at Your rig

Proverbs 1 : 7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” The CS01 drifts into the docking bay of The First Last Stop, engines whispering their last breath.  As she crosses the threshold, the dock comes alive—panels lighting one by one, an awakening.  From the corners and walls, androids and bots spring to life like a well-rehearsed orchestra: arms unfolding, lenses adjusting, tools whirring.  They move with purpose—cleanin

Proverbs 1 : 7 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Moose jolts awake.  For a moment he isn’t sure what pulled him from sleep—the cold of space, the hum of the tether, or the faint hiss of the engines still bleeding dark residue into the void.  He exhales slowly, breath fogging his visor, and stares into the finite stars of deep space—each one steady, silent, older than sin. “CS01, you with me? Proverbs 1: 7.”  The co

Romans 12: 1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God.” “CS01, you with me?”  Moose’s voice echoes down the narrow corridor, a low rumble swallowed by the hum of dying circuits.  The ship br

Romans 12: 1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God.” “Morning, CS01. You with me?”  Moose’s voice carries down the corridor, warm and easy.  He steps onto the bridge with a steaming mug i

Proverbs 23: 1-8 “When you sit down to eat with a ruler, consider carefully what is before you; and put a knife to your throat if you are a man given to appetite.  Do not desire his delicacies for they are deceptive food.  Do not overwork to be rich; because of your own understanding, cease!  Will you set your eyes on that which is not?  For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle toward heaven.  Do not eat the bread of a miser, nor desire his deli

Proverbs 15: 1 “A soft answer turner away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.” “I want to thank Sean McDowel ( www.seanmcdowell.org ) and Steve Dabbs ( stevedabbs.org ) for the conversation on Deliverance Ministry.”  Moose settles in at the helm of the CS01, space-water in hand, top popped, bubbles bursting.  CS01’s engines hum, purring.  Dark sick taint, inky blackness, continues to seep from the ship’s circuits.  Art-bot rests in the corner.  Q-bot sits ready, powering

Daniel 1: 1-8 “In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.  And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the articles of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god.” “So.  Daniel.”  Moose sips his coffee, the inky blackness infecting the ship was dissipating, for now. 

Proverbs 3 : 1–10 “My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you.  Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart, and so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.  Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.  Do not be wis

James 1: 2-8 “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.  But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect an complete, lacking nothing.  If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.  But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
