Welcome to the CFC Bible Blog! We are reading through the Bible together in 2009, and this is a place for discussions related to the passages we are reading each week. You are encouraged to leave your reflections here as comments on the article introducing each week’s readings. If you would like to write a longer article as a guest blogger, contact Pastor Ken.

Those Confusing Kings
While reading through 2 Kings, you may have noticed that it is pretty difficult to sort out the historical flow of kings. That is partly because the narrative keeps jumping between the kings of Judah and those of Israel. Check out my post on my Reflections blog for some thoughts on sorting it all out. I decided to post it there rather than here because I want to share it with my other readers as well.
You may have noticed that I have stopped posting weekly summaries of the reading for that week. I decided that it is not really necessary for me to summarize the contents. Instead, I will occasionally write something about the reading when I feel it will be helpful. You are invited to share your comments and questions in the comment area.
