This morning in my bible study, God revealed something to me that I really didn’t realize before. Have you ever talked to a non-believer who was very adamantly against Christians? Have you ever met someone who when you mention God or Jesus, they start to feel uncomfortable and tell you something like, “I don’t know about that?” That happens to me every Read the rest of this entry »

When I read this passage in Galatians, God opened my eyes to something. Galatians 4:21-23 reads, “Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says? The scripture says that Abraham had two sons, one from his slave wife and one from his freeborn wife. The son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt to bring about the fulfillment of God’s promise. But the son of the freeborn wife was born as God’s own fulfillment of His promise.”

God has a large plan and many small plans in-between. Since God is God, why would we try to interfere with His plans. God promised Abraham a son. Man, Sarah and Abraham, tried to make God’s promise come true by Abraham sleeping with Hagar who was Read the rest of this entry »

After God finished creating everything, He rested on the Seventh Day, a.k.a. The Sabbath. Even Jesus said in Mark 2:27, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath.”

That interested me. God rested on the seventh day. The first six days He created the earth as we know it and the sun, moon, and stars.

The sabbath is another one of God’s many gifts to us. Even in today’s anti-Christian society, Sunday still manages to be the slowest day. I thank God for Sunday’s because my family and I normally after church take that day to spend together, rest, relax, etc.

I think that it is cool that God, when He created the earth created a day of the week for us to worship Him, rest, go to church, spend time with family, and just take a break from the other 6 days of working and the fast pace world. Our God truly is an awesome God.

Something else my eyes were just opened to was that God Himself set the example for us. God rested on the seventh day.

Please leave me a comment telling me your thoughts.

I thought that Adam and Eve were the first two people on earth. I am coming to find that may not be true. I have recently studied in Genesis and found they may have been, but they may not have. God did show me that there were people on earth besides them though, Adam was just the one whom God breathed the breath of life Read the rest of this entry »

One thing that to this day I do not understand is why some Christians believe the theory of evolution.  Since we have been blogging about God creating the earth, lets look at Genesis 1:20-22.  In the New Living Bible it reads, “Then God said, ‘Let the waters swarm with fish and other life.  Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.’  So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird-each producing offspring of the same kind.  And God saw that it Read the rest of this entry »

When I read Genesis 1:6-8 my eyes were opened to something very interesting. In the New Living Bible Genesis 1:6-8 reads, “Then God said, ‘Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.’ And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. God called the space ‘sky.’ And Read the rest of this entry »

Many things in life we take for granted. One of those things I just realized as I was writing this post and reading in Genesis is day and night. We think day and night were always there, but Genesis 1:3-5 reads, “Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. Then He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light ‘day’ and the darkness ‘night.’ And everything passed Read the rest of this entry »

I know on Monday you are expecting a verse of the week, but I will post that tomorrow morning.  Nest week it will be back to Mondays.  According to what I have heard and figured out about time and the bible, the earth shouldn’t be older than 15000 years. If this is true, then how can scientists say that dinosaurs lived millions of years ago and that the earth is millions of years old? This interested me and then my Uncle told me to read Genesis 1:1-2. Lets take a look at it. In the New Living Read the rest of this entry »

Just before I wrote this post I found something that I didn’t expect to. Romans 13:6 reads, “Pay your taxes.” I had no idea that this was worded so plainly.  Again in Romans 13:7 the bible reads, “Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them.”

Paying your taxes is not something most people look forward to. Actually, for me this is the first year I am Read the rest of this entry »

Are you kind to others?  Do you show kindness?  Romans 12:8 reads in the New Living Bible, “And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, Read the rest of this entry »
