Genesis 18:1-15 Abraham and Sarah found out that nothing is too difficult for the LORD. Have you found that out yet?

All the people on earth spoke the same language. They decided to build a city and a tower to reach heaven. They wanted their name to be known. Genesis 11:1-4 Pride does that, doesn’t it? Wanting one’s name to be known and recognized by others. The LORD came down from heaven to see […]
Noah must have kept a diary of some kind… he recorded days and months. He recorded the day and the month the rains began. He recorded when the ark settled upon the mountains of Ararat. He recorded when the waters decreased. He even recorded when the tops of the mountains became visible. All life on […]
