The Days Of Noah

Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.                                                                                                                    Genesis 6:5-6  Read: Genesis 6 So…

What Went Wrong?

They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.                                                                                                                          Genesis 3:8  Read: Genesis 3 God created a beautiful, perfect environment for mankind…

A Suitable Partner

For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.                                                                                                                  Genesis 2:24-25  We have already seen that everything God…

Created In His Image

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living…

And It Was Good!

God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.                                                                                                                         Genesis 1:31  Read: Genesis 1  How much time do you spend alone with God?

Being Straightforward

But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.                                                                                                                          James 5:12  As we conclude our look at James, we…

Never Forget

We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.                                                                                                                         James 5:11  Never forget the attributes of God. He never changes and will always keep His promises. Although we…

The Importance Of Patience

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.                                                                                                                        James 5:7-8  Given the fact…

The Brevity Of Life

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say,…

It Couldn’t Be Any Clearer

Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you…
