Don’t you like coming to the end of a good story, all the loose ends tied up, the good guy wins, there might be a kiss, the music plays, ahhhh… And that’s what we expect with Noah.

Saturday morning PRAYERS and PEACE

I’ve had awful headaches for days. I’ve been told by friends this is common for a long time after CoVid.

Enoch and Elijah won’t be the only two!

This is such a crazy, encouraging portion of Scripture…. So, Cain kills Abel then he marries and has children. Adam and Eve have other children. The earth population grows. And the Bible details both the good and the bad—Lamech takes two wives and boasts of murder. (See Gen 4) But then there is Enoch. GenesisContinue reading “Enoch and Elijah won’t be the only two!”

The Questioning of Truth. Same Old ATTACK.

So the cunning, evil, serpent (the fallen Satan) questions Eve about what God had really said to her. (Gen 3:1) He then tells her what God has said is not really true.

Genesis, all the Bible, should impact your beliefs, (including your political ones!)

God details creation in Genesis 1. Then, in chapter two, we are given more details about how He did this. How we interpret these passsages and apply them to our lives is tremendously important.

This six-literal-day interpretation is important for manyContinue reading “Genesis, all the Bible, should impact your beliefs, (including your political ones!)”

Let’s study Genesis

In the beginning God. In the beginningGod. How do you move past the extraordinary, incomprehensible, awesome fact that God was the beginning that had no beginning?

When they call you names…

A while back, a young, full of himself and this world person, called me “”Karen” after I had written something he didn’t like.

She is with Jesus now, and she wasContinue reading “When they call you names…”

You can’t be NEUTRAL in your faith.

You can’t be neutral in your faith. If it impacts you, you should want it to impact those you care about. John Piper went so far as to say, “If you don’t want people to believe what you believe about God, your views of Him are not functionally significant for you.” The fact is, ifContinue reading “You can’t be NEUTRAL in your faith.”
