God’s judgment is final. Where do we go when we sin? We can still go to Jesus and ask Him to be our Savior. We can ask God’s forgiveness through faith in His Son. He is the only One who can save us from the judgment of God. Why? Because He suffered God’s judgment for […]
Genesis 19:1-29 Two angels went into Sodom in the evening. Lot, Abraham’s nephew, was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw the two “men” he went to them and invited them to his home for the night. They refused saying they would stay in the town square overnight. Lot insisted they come home […]
Who do you “go to bat for” when you know they are in trouble? Abraham knew his nephew Lot lived in Sodom. And he also knew that the LORD was the Judge of all the earth. Would the LORD judge Sodom for the sake of ten righteous people? Three strangers stopped by Abraham’s tent and […]
Sarai’s solution to have a child, her way… Sarai was Abram’s wife, she knew what God told her husband, that the two of them would have a child, a son. She was without children and she was beyond, way beyond, the age of bearing a child. She decided God wasn’t moving fast enough, she would […]
The LORD grew Abram’s faith in Him and His word. We all start out with a small seed of faith but are we growing in our faith in God? The LORD came to Abram after Abram and his allies had a great victory over their enemies. Genesis 14;1-24 The LORD used a vision (not a […]
Out of fear, do you ever, EVER, do something which you were not authorized to do? But you thought it sounded like such a good idea and you thought it would get you out of a dilemma? That’s what Abraham did! Abraham was told by the LORD to go to Canaan. God did not […]
“Watch” the progression of faith in Abraham, the patriarch of the Jewish people. God Himself called Abraham while he still lived in Ur of the Chaldes (that’s the area of Babylon, Iraq today). Abraham obeyed, kind of. He did leave Ur and without a map or GPS. He went forward into an adventure of living […]
Genealogies are more important to some people than to others. The Jewish people were very careful to record their genealogies. As it happens, that is important today! The genealogical records from the days of Abraham reveal the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the coming King. He is Messiah, and the proof is in the genealogical records […]
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 […]
Are some myths based on facts? I think so. One example which comes to mind is the… dragon. Job 41:1-11 a large fish or whale is described. Job 41:12-34 a dragon is described. God’s word describes a beast which is also described in stories. And the descriptions “fit” each other. Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction,…” […]
