Read the Bible: Genesis 14

This is the first time we read about Lot getting into trouble and needing to be rescued; it will not be the last. The big thing in this chapter is Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High.

If you click the play button and listen to the audio you may not notice a difference between this and the other recordings up to this point. If you download the file to a laptop, cell phone – I don’t know what the other options are these days – you might notice this file is an mp3 while the first 13 chapters were saved as m4a files. Mp3 is a slightly larger format so I want to know if anyone has any issues or if the 25 MB size is going to be a problem. I am running a free version of some recording and editing software; I could save as m4a but that’s a feature that would cost something. I used to have a file type converter but that was years ago; I could probably find something like that again but I don’t want to take a bunch of unnecessary steps if nobody cares. I’m the one that is going to run into problems when I run out of storage space for the blog archives. I would like to someday have all 1,189 chapters available for anyone to listen to at any time.

The writer laments that believers who should be on solid food (of God’s Word) still need to be given milk like infants.
