“…your reward shall be very great.” New Position “…and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness.” In Christ we have a new position or legal status before God. We have been totally justified from the penalty of sin; we have been adopted as children…

Rescue Mission (Genesis 14)
“He divided his forces against them by night…” There was a time in my life when my innermost desire was to become a great firefighter. I was awestruck by the “glamour” this profession offered, such as becoming an everyday hero, walking out of burning buildings with babies in my arms, and rescuing little…
Down but Up (Genesis 13)
So Abram went up from Egypt… The only difference between an unbeliever and a Christian is Christ in the heart of the believer. As Christians, we also fall into temptation and sin, but as Bob Carlyle sings, “We fall down, we get up and the saint is just a sinner that falls down…
The Seed of Evil (Genesis 12)
“So Abram went down…” Abram, the man God called to possess the Promised Land, went down into Egypt for food. What shall we do with this information? Was Abram right in going to the world (symbolized by Egypt), or was he supposed to starve to death in Canaan? The key, I think,…

There was only one problem: SIN. When sin enters the scene, everything else is affected. This was the case with the new generation after the…
Powerful Men (Genesis 10)
“…the first…mighty warrior.” We live in a world fascinated by power. There are power-hungry executives, power-hungry Satan worshippers, and multitudes of bloodthirsty fans willing to pay hundreds and even thousands of dollars to enjoy boxing, extreme wrestling, and ultimate fighting, to mention just a few. …
THE GOD OF SECOND CHANCES (Genesis 9)
“This is the sign of the covenant…” There is something peculiar about the game of baseball that separates this sport from every competition: signs. Have you attended a game of baseball or watched one at home? Then you probably noticed the manager and the first and third base coaches making all sorts of…
DETAILS (Genesis 8)
“But God remembered Noah…” The greatness of our God can be attributed to His majestic glory, His creative genius, and His orderly rule of the universe. God’s greatness can also be appreciated in His attention to details. The same…
