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 [...]

“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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Reading the E100 devotion that goes with these two chapters encouraged me to refresh my faith in the Bible as God’s word. We may have many questions in this area, and there are many reasonable answers.  But in the end we are asked to exercise faith.  My experience is that it is a faith which [...]

These two chapters are quoted more times in the rest of the bible then any other piece of scripture. The example of 6 days of creation is used to demonstrate God’s complete power over the Universe. The one week creation cycle was also used to establish the concept of a sabbath. Jesus himself referenced the Genesis [...]

I was reading Genesis 6-8 the other day – the story of Noah’s ark – and I thought, wow, Noah was one faithful man. How much did he have to trust God? A whole lot. He had to trust that God was going to actually send the rain . Think about it, they are in a desert. [...]
