We live in a world of instant gratification. If a webpage takes more than 3 seconds to load, it’s considered slow. It is said that patience is a virtue. It’s actually one of the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5. We don’t get patience automatically. It seems that God wants us to learn to

Abram, so far, obeyed God by leaving his ancestral home in Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of the Canaanites. Then God tells Him — actually makes a covenant — a deal — a contract — a promise — to Abram that he will have many descendants. However, Abram starts getting a

What? Abram encounters Jesus? Yes, and I’ll explain. First, I’ll summarize what happens in the first part of Genesis 14…. Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig deeper and watch the special music video at the bottom…. Jesus said, “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand

Imagine suddenly hearing a voice, or having an overwhelming desire to move. That is, pack up and pick up your family, possessions and go elsewhere. Somewhere you’ve never been before. That sort of happened to me the summer of 2004 after 2 hurricanes hit the area of Florida where I lived, within 2 weeks of

In Genesis 10, we met Nimrod, the grandson of Ham and great-grandson of Noah. Ham was the son that Noah cursed. Nimrod built his kingdom in the land of Shinar — aka Babylonia. So we have the Kingdom of Man vs the Kingdom of God. This, of course, is not going to end well for

Let’s recap our story so far… God created a beautiful earth — a utopia — for man and woman and they screwed it up by giving in to temptation. So, God cursed everybody including Satan. There were 6 generations between Adam and Noah, but there was one guy, Enoch, Noah’s great, grandfather, who found favor

Luke, the historian, is not finished telling the story. In his gospel, Luke told the story of Jesus from conception to the cross. As a skilled journalist, Luke describes what happens next — after the resurrection — which is the spreading of the Good News. This growth of believers becomes the church. As we go

Today we start a new study through the Gospel of John, chapter by chapter. Written by John, “the Apostle that Jesus loved”, he portrays Jesus as not just the Son of God, but the Light and Savior of the World. He introduces Jesus as “The Word” — in Greek, “Logos”. I found a nice explanation

The Gospel of Luke is one of the “synoptic” gospels as it is a written account of the life of Jesus Christ. Luke was a Greek physician and a friend of Paul’s. He also wrote the Book of Acts, which we’ll cover after this. What I like about Luke is that he was a historian

Jesus came into the world to save the world from sin. Who is this Jesus person? In the Gospel of Luke we saw Jesus through the eyes of the reporter. Luke, the historian, told the story of Jesus from the eyes of witnesses to His earthly ministry. John, on the other hand, was an eyewitness

This is a series of possible, fictional scenarios of what it may be like after the Rapture of the born-again Christians. What will happen in the Rapture is all the true, saved, Christian believers will disappear as Jesus calls them up to heaven. I show what MAY happen to several groups of people: Progressives, Catholics,

In yesterday’s story, we saw how sin entered the perfect, utopian world. God then curses, the snake (Satan), all women and men as well as the earth itself. He tells them that the seed of Satan will always be in conflict with the seed of Eve (Genesis 3:15). Hence we have the bad seed and
