Who is this mystery man? After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings that allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).   Then Melchizedek king of Salem (which I believe is short for JERUSALEM.  Although many theologians think it was a literal place)  brought out bread and wine.  He was a high priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, 
Creator of heaven and earth.
And praise be to God Most High,
who delivered your enemies into your hand.” - Genesis 14:17-20 After Abram’s amazing and miraculous victory over the armies of four kings and successfully rescuing his nephew Lot from these four armies, he’s met in the Valley of Shaveh by the king of Sodom and also Melchizedek the king of Salem.  Melchizedek — the king and priest of God Most High verse 18 tells us. Melchizedek the king and priest of God Mos...

DEEPER SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES: SCRIPTURE MEMORIZATION: For some of us…we’ve been around the Bible a little bit.  We grew up in church…have heard a lot of sermons…we have 3 or 4 Bibles at home. But for most of us we walk through our lives doing our own thing but all the while the very thing that we need collects dust on our coffee table or bookshelf.  We hardly see it as life changing…we may go to it when we experience unexpected relational, financial, marriage or family trouble but for most of us…it remains there.  God has given us His Word that we can either ignore it or leverage it.  We can ignore it and there will be consequences.  Or you can embrace the truth that’s found in it and you can see the fruit that comes from knowing it!     In Jesus time the Jewish children would grow up knowing the Bible.  By the time a child was 12 years old, the average child would have the “Torah” memorized.  The “Torah” was...
