Perhaps I Can…
Genesis 16:2 “So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I can obtain children by her.” And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.” I grew up in the country side of West Texas. Lots of cotton farms and mesquite trees. Every year we would see the farmers plant

Shem, Ham, and Japheth
Genesis 10:32 “These are the clan’s of Noah’s sons, according to their lines of descendents, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood.” https://www.litcharts.com/lit/genesis/chapter-10 The post-flood descendants of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, are listed. The descendants of Japheth settled in Asia Minor and Europe. Ham’s descendants

The Menu
Genesis 9:3 “Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.” I love going out to eat. The hard part is choosing where to go. When you are really hungry it seems anything will do. The closest restaurant or snacks

Come Out of the Ark
Genesis 8:15-16 “Then God said to Noah, “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives.” After potty training four girls, I can remember that some days were easy and some were hard. The crazy thing was that you had to be ready to stop anywhere at a moment’s

Noah and the Flood
Genesis 7:24 “The waters flooded the earth for a hundred fifty days.” The drive that last longer than expected, the jobs that seem to drag on, the school day that does not end because you have to stay after for a project, all of these scenarios are hard to deal with. These circumstances test our

Timeline
Genesis 5 Genesis chapter 5 is all about the timeline from Adam to Noah. It starts out with Adam having Seth after 130 years of life. If you track the birth years of all of the sons they add up to be 1556 years. Adam lived to be 930 years old. I know, that is

Cain’s Anger
Genesis 4:6-7 “Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you just rule over it.” The

Because of Adam
Genesis 3:17 “…Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.” It seems like all around us we have a work problem. There are help wanted signs in every other business window. Yet there are also programs that are designed to help

Satan’s Plan (part 2)
Genesis 3:7 “Then the eyes of both of them were opened…” The truth is that we all begin our lives at the point that Adam and Eve were in verse 7. We are born into a sinful world because of the fall of Adam and Eve. Praise the Lord that Jesus came and died on

Satan’s Plan (part 1)
Genesis 3:1 “…Did God really say…” If you plan on beating your enemies on the field of battle you might want to study up on the tactics of the enemy first. Just like the scene in Indiana Jones when Dr. Jones is confronted by a sword wielding warrior and the crowd is waiting for Dr. Jones
