When I was a little boy, my dad bet me that he could make a dollar bill
stand on edge. Well, I passed on the bet because I didn't own any money at
the time. So my dad proceeded to fold a dollar bill in half into a vee and it
easily stood on edge like that. When I protested, he replied: You...

†. Gen 1:22b . . God blessed them, saying: Be fertile
The blessing of fertility is pretty amazing. It not only enables creatures to
reproduce their own bodies, but also to transfer the breath of life from one
generation to the next.
†. Gen 1:22c . . and increase, fill the waters in the seas...
-
†. Gen 1:20 . . God said: Let the waters bring forth swarms of living
creatures, and birds that fly above the earth across the expanse of
the sky.
The Hebrew word for "birds" is 'owph (ofe) which just simply means covered
with wings rather than covered with feathers. It's a rather unusual...

†. Gen 1:14c . . they shall serve as signs for the set times-- the days and
the years;
The word for "signs" is from 'owth (oth) and means: a signal; such as a flag,
beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.
The Sun and the Moon are very useful time keepers. The Sun of course
marks...

†. Gen 1:11a . . And God said: Let the earth sprout vegetation
Before God could set out plantings; He first had to create soil for them to
grow in; which is only barely alluded to in Genesis' reference to dry land
making its appearance: and this is where young-earth theories run into
trouble...

†. Gen 1:6a . . God said: Let there be an expanse
The word for "expanse" is from raqiya' (raw-kee'-ah) and means: a great
extent of something spread out, a firmament, the visible arch of the sky.
Raqiya' is distinct from shamyim in that it indicates the earth's atmosphere;
which is sort of...
“You remember this girl, don’t you?
Cause she remembers you, and she’s pregnant too.”
The words split through my ears,
Giving way to plunging fears.
“They know who the father is,
A boy named you is who it is.”
I felt my head start to whirl, How could it be?
Couldn’t remember anything, ‘tween her...

†. Gen 1:4a . . And God saw the light, that it was good
God declared that light is good; but He didn't declare that darkness is good.
In point of fact, darkness always represents bad things in the Bible; while
light always represents good things. It's been an axiom from the very
beginning...
The last competitor had been called up. The people in the stadium were silent as the eight athletes got into their lanes, waiting for the race to begin.
In lane three, a fifteen-year-old boy, Jim Lewis, was crouching. He could feel the blood thudding through his veins, his heart hammering away...

†. Gen 1:3 . . Then God said "Let there be light" and there was light.
In the April 2014 edition of Discover magazine, astrophysicist/cosmologist
Avi Loeb states that the Bible attributes the appearance of stars and galaxies
to the divine proclamation "Let there be light". Is Mr. Loeb's...
Come on a journey with me
Travel life’s weary road will we
From eagle heights to the earth below
Where man doth sorrowfully go
We find ourselves staring up mountains
Some scared, some meek, some defiant
We feel a shrinking inside
As we face this mountain that doth arise
Tis’ three things we can...

†. Gen 1:2a . . the earth being unformed and void
That statement reveals the earth's condition prior to the creation of an
energy that would make it possible for its particles to coalesce into
something coherent.
Curiously, scientists have not yet been able to figure out what gives...

The author of Genesis is currently unknown; but commonly attributed to
Moses. Scholars have estimated the date of its writing at around 1450-1410
BC; which is pretty recent in the grand scheme of Earth's geological history--
a mere 3,400 years ago. Since Moses penned Exodus (Mark 12:26) it's...

Hello; and welcome to the very first book of the Bible.
I'm posting a systematic, daily-bread style commentary on the book of
Genesis, practically verse by verse from the creation of the cosmos to
Joseph's burial in Egypt.
Barring emergencies, accidents, unforeseen circumstances, and/or...

Isaiah 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:
he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom,
and shall gently lead those that are with young.
Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine,
The joy and desire of my heart,
For closer communion I pine,
I long to reside where...
Twas 12 am, in the soft of the night,
12 am in the glow of a lamplight,
When you whispered, “I love you more.
You love me, but i love you more.”
I still remember feeling my heart melt.
Still remember the warmth i felt.
That someone loved me despite my mistakes.
That someone was messaging me, to...
Since Jesus said we can know when He returns "right at the door" (Matt. 24.33) then how do we figure out when He returns?
Very simply He returns on the 2,520th day (end of Daniel's final seven) from when the Tribulation starts. 2,520 is the smallest number divisible by all numbers from 2 to 10...
Check out yahoo or the news. athiests to rally in DC. A huge sign that says Don't believe in God. I came to a realization today that It's OK that God isn't loved by all, to Him its quality over quanity. How do you think He might feel though having most of His creations running around using that...
In Matt. 24 Jesus tells of the things which will happen just before his return. What a blessing to know why these things are happening. It is called birth pangs which is like a woman in travail waiting for her child's birth. God is waiting to have his children come and be with him.
I am...
