God's Word ~ Alive!

I wouldn’t do that if I were you…

The LORD asked Job, “Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty?  Let him who reproves God answer it.”  Ahem, Job, I wouldn’t do that if I were you…  Job 40:1-2   How many times do we question God, with questions He can answer for us but we think we have it all figured out…. I wouldn’t […]

Presumptuous People Job 39:1-30 The LORD God went through a list of questions to which Job could only answer “no”. Presumptuous people think they know it all … until God questions them.  Nature, all of nature, was created by God.  He knows the characteristics of the animals… He made both on land and in the sea.  […]

Questions Only God Can Answer

 The LORD God was talking to Job, “And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!”   Uh-oh… Job you better watch it.  How humiliating for Job, Omniscient God (the All knowing God) to make such a statement.   Job, were you there when God created the earth?  Were you there when the morning stars sang together?  […]

Valuable Assessment

Picture the scene… Satan, along with other angels, presented themselves to God in heaven.  The LORD singled out Satan, “Where have you come from?”  Satan replied that he had been roaming the earth and walking around on it. Job 2:2 God’s valuable assessment of His servant Job:   The LORD asked Satan: “Have you thought about […]

Reaction to Personal Catastrophes

Learning to wait on God’s go-ahead

  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 […]

Faith – A conscious choice

Cookie Cutter Living

Genesis 6:1-22   In the days of Noah, people ate and drank and lived their lives without giving the living, Creator God much thought.   In the days of your name, people are eating, drinking and living their lives without giving the living, Creator God much thought.   But Noah was a righteous man, living his life by […]

Judgment on Sin!

Genesis 3:1-24 God judges sin. He judged the first sin. When we sin, we sin against the living God. God judged Satan first. Then God judged Eve and last of all He judged Adam. Genesis 3:14-19 Then God did a wondrous thing, He sacrificed an animal and made a covering of skin for the man […]

Then came temptation, temptation is not sin, but can lead to sin.When the temptation is put into action then it is Sin! Genesis 3:1 Satan throws doubt on God’s word. Genesis 3:3 Eve’s and our temptation are based on […]
