February 22, 2025

Scripture:

LEVITICUS 17:1-19:37

Power in the Blood

“And if any native Israelite or foreigner living among you eats or drinks blood in any form, I will turn against that person and cut him off from the community of your people, for the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the LORD. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible. That is why I have said to the people of Israel, ‘You must never eat or drink blood—neither you nor the foreigners living among you.’

Leviticus 17:10-12

A small change to your Read Thru the Word experience.

Hello everyone! Recently, we experienced a problem with the "complete/incomplete" function of Read Thru the Word. We are excited to say that this function has been restored and should provide a more robust solution for the future. However, 2025 lessons that you have marked as "complete" now show as "incomplete." There are two ways to approach this: One- you can sleep well with the knowledge that you've completed January and most of February, and continue to mark "complete" on lessons moving forward. Two- If you love seeing the little blue check marks on your 2025 grid, you’ll need to revisit January and February lessons and mark them as complete again. Thank you for your patience as we work to provide an amazing daily experience while you Read Thru the Word!
