Lists and God's Dominion: Genesis 10

Genesis

Lists and God's Dominion: Genesis 10

All things are under the dominion of God.  There was an old TV show called The Facts of Life.  The lyrics of the theme song started with “You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and there you have the facts of life.”  The good events

The Benefits of Love: Genesis 9:18-29

Genesis

The Benefits of Love: Genesis 9:18-29

Our love for one another corrects sin and prevents sin from growing more predominant within the community.  Time and time again in the New Testament we are encouraged to hold one another accountable and forgive one another.  Love bears with one another while helping each other stay on the path

With or Without You: Genesis 9:1-17

Genesis

With or Without You: Genesis 9:1-17

We only understand why we need God when we can honestly see ourselves without Him.  This is true in so many areas of my life.  I need to stumble over my pride before I can really see its effect in my life.  I needed to experience the devastation lust can

Archetype of Righteousness: Genesis 8:20-22

Genesis

Archetype of Righteousness: Genesis 8:20-22

The result of a single righteous person can outweigh the result of a multitude of evil.  We see this often in life.  Ever have a horrible day until a single person comes alongside you and does something to make you smile?  Ever feel the world close upon you until a

Patience and Obedience: Genesis 8:1-19

Genesis

Patience and Obedience: Genesis 8:1-19

Faithful people don’t just act; they patiently wait for God to reveal His way.  Think about stories where godly people get into trouble.  Those stories are either about a person intentionally choosing sin (like David and Bathsheba) or about a person impulsively acting thinking they are doing God’s

God Shut Them In: Genesis 7:11-24

Genesis

God Shut Them In: Genesis 7:11-24

Only God can shut us in and deliver us from His judgment.  He is the all-knowing, all-seeing, and all-powerful Holy One.  He is the source of all strength and all wisdom.  All that we have that is good comes from Him. The flood story is a tale of two sides

All the Details: Genesis 7:1-10

Genesis

All the Details: Genesis 7:1-10

It’s often for our benefit that God doesn’t reveal the scope of His plan when He comes to us and asks us to follow Him.  Sometimes we can’t handle all the details.  Consider Jesus’ ministry on earth.  He didn’t invite people to come and watch Him

Genesis

Preparations: Genesis 6:14-22

God is the one in charge.  He was at the beginning of creation; He will be there at its end.  He remains throughout the entire story.  He has a plan, and despite humanity coming in and breaking all the rules, He will bring His redeemer and have His way. God

Genesis

Noah the Lonely: Genesis 6:9-13

What does it take to walk with God when nobody is there to help us?  Don’t get me wrong.  I’m grateful for my network of faith.  I’m grateful I have people to hold me accountable.  Would I be as strong without them? Noah was a righteous man,

We Grieve His Heart: Genesis 6:5-8

Genesis

We Grieve His Heart: Genesis 6:5-8

God may have wanted to destroy mankind, but He desired to save mankind even more.  This is a subtle theme to be found all over the Bible.  God’s anger is deep, but His grace and mercy are deeper.  God’s anger may burn for a generation or two, but

Sons of God: Genesis 6:1-4

Genesis

Sons of God: Genesis 6:1-4

The battle between our flesh and spirit is real.  I do not always do the right thing.  I do not always make the choice best for me.  Sometimes the short-sided desire masters the long-term need. The Nephilim are one of my favorite curiosities in the book of Genesis.  We know

Godliness Can Be Generational: Genesis 5:1-32

Godliness Can Be Generational: Genesis 5:1-32

God’s ways do make a difference.  Besides the message of salvation, this is an important message the Bible has to offer.  Life is hard.  We make many mistakes.  I may not be perfect in any moment, but I genuinely believe that following God makes a difference over the length
