Genesis chapter one outlines God’s creative process. The scope of this description quickly narrows to focus on the earth. Given that the purpose of the Bible is to provide a means for mankind to understand God, this focusing on man’s home, the earth, is understandable. As the development of the Earth progresses, the account breaks […]

1 Samuel 17:40: He (David) took his stick in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine. The Bible does not specifically say why David chose five stones. It

The short answer to this question is that it is not yet time for sickness and suffering to end.  God has set a time to make things right. Ecclesiastes 3:11: He has made everything beautiful in his time.“ He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what

The privilege of giving birth to the Savior of the world couldn’t be given to just anyone. Only a woman with outstanding faith, an extraordinary character, and pure heart would be appropriate for such an honor. We find information about Mary’s beautiful character in Luke 1:26-56, when she responds to the news from the angel Gabriel

It is overwhelming to see how Jesus has cared for us and how he continues to care for us. Jesus is our Precious Savior and loved us so much he was willing to give up everything to surrender to the will of God even to the death of the cross, so that all people could be

The accounts of the baptism of Jesus are found in Matthew 3:13-17, John 1:29-34 and Luke 3:21-22. The only individuals we know for sure who attended Jesus’ baptism was Jesus himself and John the Baptist. It is likely, however, that there were many other unnamed individuals who were present (See Luke 3:21). The account says that many others were baptized just

Jesus was begotten of the spirit at his baptism. However, the context of Psalm 2 is in keeping with the Apostle Paul’s application that the statement, “this day have I begotten thee” describes Jesus’ resurrection. Psalm 2 opens with the heathen raging and the kings of the earth setting themselves against God and His anointed (verses 1, 2). In other passages, Satan is

It may be hard to understand, but nobody made God. Psalms 90:2 says, “Before the mountains were born, or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” “Everlasting” means that God was always there. He has existed forever. He had no beginning and has no end. As imperfect human beings, our brains

This verse refer to is part of a series of parables Jesus gave beginning in Luke chapter 15. There, in verse 2, the scribes and Pharisees murmured because Jesus received sinners and ate with them. Because of their superior attitude, Jesus went on to give the Parables of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin and the Prodigal

How do we get “in” Christ? The call to become body members of Christ is described in Romans 12:1,2: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by
