CLOSED DOORS (Genesis 7)
“Go into the ark, you and all your household…” Since the beginning, God has had a tremendous interest in the family. The family was the first institution ever created, and it is the bonding nucleus for a successful society. In fact, the government and the church would…

The Breath of Life (Genesis 2)
So God blessed… Someone has said that “God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.” I believe this is true. God did not only create everything, but God made it good and blessed it. A special blessing was bestowed upon the “Sabbath,” or as we know it today,…
