Perhaps you’ve heard the cliché “the oldest lie in the book” referring sometimes to “the check’s in the mail” but “the oldest lie in the book” is literally in the Book of Beginnings, the book of Genesis. It is spoken by the “father of lies”, satan. Satan’s opening line, posed as a question (Gen 3:1), [...]

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street. (Lamentations 2:19) LET THE CHILDREN There is a sinister, ugly spirit, a [...]

1 A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit… 4 …He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked . Isaiah 11:1,4

Justice and Mercy. Our Messiah reigns with his Justice and Mercy. Isaiah prophesied [...]

Genesis 1:27  -  God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. What a good thing to recognize that God not only created us, but created us in his own image .  I recently read part of a book called Designed for Dignity . It was good in that it really stressed [...]

Reading the last entry in our series for essential 100, Revelation 21-22 I was struck how like every great story the ending was connected back up with the start. Just read about the Tree of life in Genesis 2 before reading the last chapter of the last book. There are many similarities between the New [...]

As I read many of these stories, I am struck by the importance of childbearing. It seems like one of the primary callings for women is to bear a child. And it seems like it is one of the main ways that God wants to use them. In Judges 13-16, we saw how God gave [...]

In the first post on this development blog, we mentioned how we are using Wordpress as the core of our website, giving us incredible blogging tools right out of the box. So, what features have we added on our own that set us apart from other blog services? Basically, we put a Bible in every blog… Scripture [...]

Just a couple of things I was thinking about as I read it. 1) As Exodus was the first book of the Hebrew scripture it is interesting to think that this is perhaps the first event that involved God and all of Israel in action with each other.  Passover (and the following consecration of the [...]

Its interesting reading where God curses Satan and says He’ll put enmity between him and the woman, and between his seed and her seed”. This is intersting because as far as I’m aware a woman doesn’t provide a seed with reproduction. Its the man who has the sperm which is the seed. The only man [...]

“The heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.” (Gen 2:1) God created the vastness of the heavens, which expand beyond our comprehension. He lit billions of stars, clustered them into galaxies, and tossed them into the deep darkness, painting it with fiery colors. But this “vast array” isn’t limited to the heavens, [...]

This passage has really challenged me to consider the impact and consequence of that decision that Adam and Eve made in the Garden of Eden.  Too often when we talk about sin… its in little letters and rather understated.  But the SIN as the notes say caused the perfect relationship that man was to have [...]

as a science student, the bizarreness of Eve being made out of Adam’s rib, thus having the same genetic structure (no wonder there was no rejection of the tissue transplant!) and then managing to procreate and produce perfectly “normal” kids (unlike what would happen if i made babies with my brother) is just amazing! and [...]

After Crossroad on Sunday night, some of us walked outside to see a drunk man stumbling about.  He had such a lack of control that he fell into the street.  Providentially, there were no cars coming on Queen Street and he was able to pick himself up and get out of the street before he [...]

Does God have to act outside of scientific understanding to gain our respect?  In the past it may have been considered a miracle that rain fell on the earth and while we understand the process and its components more thoroughly today, should it give me any less of a sense of wonder?  Mountains erupting from the [...]

Genesis 2:1 states: “Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.” The following verses are about God taking a break and resting on the seventh day.  Many theologians take this verse to me that God is completely done with creation and that He cannot create anymore.  They find this particularly [...]
