Have you doubted God and made the wrong choice?
It’s been ten long years since God promised. Still no baby. Her body is aging. She’s tired. She loves her husband. Didn’t God say Abram’s descendants would be as numerous as the stars? (Gen 15:5). But she also knew the sovereign God has restrained her from bearing children. (Gen 16:2) What is she supposed toContinue reading “Have you doubted God and made the wrong choice?”
How can I know God will do what He says?
God makes a promise to Abram for his descendants to be as numerous as the stars and to give him the land as an inheritance.( Gen 15:5-6) And Abram (boldly again) says, “How will I know I will inherit it?” (Gen 15:7) God then asks Abram to bring him animals and cut them in two.Continue reading “How can I know God will do what He says?”
Believing God
Abram sets out with Sarai and his nephew Lot. In Genesis 12, God tells Abram many things that HE will do. In fear and unbelief, Abram will lie to Pharaoh that his beautiful wife is his sister. (Gen 12:10-20)(Later, we will see this “fix-it-yourself mentality” play out with Sarahs’ maidservants when the promised heir doesn’tContinue reading “Believing God”
Not today Satan!
You know the evil one does not want you to believe the promises of God, right? Genesis contains promises of God that are foundational to our faith.

But what if you are STRUGGLING to believe God?
Noah lived 350 years after the flood and dies. His descendants are listed in Genesis 10. The earth population grows. At this point, all people spoke the same language and they decided to stay together and build a city and a tall tower in the plain of Shinar (Babylon). (Gen 11) But remember, God hadContinue reading “But what if you are STRUGGLING to believe God?”
Your past sins don’t have to define you
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. Except, remember, this isn’t a story but a real-life account— Noah obeys God and builds the Ark toContinue reading “Your past sins don’t have to define you”
Are you getting weary of this HARD world?
Is this evil world getting to you? Some days it can really be discouraging. Genesis 6:6, tells us, long ago, God saw the evil of man. He was sorry. He was grieved.

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!”
WARNING!
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before. Over the years, well, as long as I remember I have struggled with anger. Oh it’s much better now (thank you Jesus), but when I was little, my grandpa (I called him “Papaw” because that’s what we do in the South), told me “Most folks need to countContinue reading “WARNING!”
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. (Gen 3:4) The one who has come to steal, kill and destroy is saying the same thing, right now, to you, me andContinue reading “The Questioning of Truth. Same Old ATTACK.”
So, why all the craziness in this world God created?
So, why all the craziness, and sadness, and sickness, and disease,and death in this world God created? Genesis, chapter three. The Fall. Most of us know the true story of sin entering the world.

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. In six literal days, God created all that we see and know as creation. This six-literal-day interpretation is important for manyContinue reading “Genesis, all the Bible, should impact your beliefs, (including your political ones!)”
Gender Identity-Regardless of what we call ourselves, the Creator calls the shots

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?
