I’ve heard it said that the most boring parts of the Bible are the “begats”: “And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son… and called his name Seth… And Seth… begat Enos… And Enos… begat Cainan…” etc., etc., etc. (Genesis chapter 5) Then there are more boring lists of names throughout… Continue reading July 5: What’s in a Name?

Sometimes it feels as though the Lord is not answering our prayers; however, when we say that, we usually mean we prayed but didn’t get what we wanted. We were expecting a yes answer when God has other options besides the affirmative. At times, God says, “No.” When Cain took an offering to God in… Continue reading July 4: Yes, No, Not Yet

It’s true that the Bible is a history book—it’s “His” story, the story of our Lord Jesus.

Peter then wrapped up his sermon by acknowledging that Jesus (whom they had killed but… Continue reading June 30: The Effect of the Truth

On the morning of that day, God endued His followers (the 120 in the upper room) with power from on high “and they… Continue reading June 29: Who’s Preaching?

#HeartForTheWord We often beat ourselves up because we make foolish decisions. It’s true that we ought not be proud of the stupid stuff we decide to do; however, the Bible helps us gain some perspective regarding those times when we blow it. Judges chapter 11 relates the story of Jephthah. Although he was “a mighty… Continue reading Foolish Decisions Redeemed

#HeartForTheWord Luke chapter 16 records an interesting story that Jesus told His disciples about a money manager who was about to get fired from his job. The guy’s boss had been told that this particular employee was wasting his goods. When the guy found out, he went about shrewdly handling his boss’s business so that… Continue reading See It God’s Way
