Send us a Text Message. Welcome to the strange, perhaps morally ambiguous story of the Father of Faith, the "Exhalted Father with no current children", of Abram. He gives his wife, "tell 'em you're my sister" Sarai into the hands of the Egyptian Court. She is apparently so beautiful, that only a Pharaoh qualifies to consider as a wife partner. The …

Send us a Text Message. "Building an altar" is to stop what you normally do, and focus on what God is doing. It is carving out one's attention to be directed appreciatively towards God. For Abram, it is done after first hearing, and later seeing God Himself. Let's not take "the appearing" of God lightly. It is a big deal when God becomes manifest h…

Send us a Text Message. Modern people aren't the first to invent a "Sin City". That started with Babel and the Tower they built.

BUT, God has striven toward us. Similarly…

Send us a Text Message. Peter prophesied that after his time, people will DELIBERATELY OVERLOOK the flood. To deny the PAST helps to rationalize our denial of the FUTURE.

Send us a Text Message. The safety of the rescue operation to save humanity from the flood involved 100 years of construction and God who CLOSED A DOOR.

Send us a Text Message. If every intent of man's heart is "only ever evil", then the flood make perfect sense. What doesn't make sense is, "WHY IS THERE A BOAT?" Why does God save any?

Send us a Text Message. Without understanding this single concept, the rest of the Bible will make no sense. It must be understood that, unfortunately, man is not good. Scripture lays it out plainly about the heart of man. His every intent is only ever evil. Yikes. It is why there is death, strife, conflict, violence and misunderstanding. It is the…

Send us a Text Message. The point is NOT that Methuselah lived 969 years, as impressive as this is. He sets the world record for longevity. The main point is what follows the comma, "...and he died."
