CREATION CONFIRMS THE CREATOR! When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him… —Psalm 8:3-4             Looking at the universe and knowing it was God who created it as He also did the moon and stars place them exactly where He wanted them.  When I think of creation I am overwhelm, astounded and astonished that He would even think of me or that He would even consider this small planet in His vast creation.             But He does and “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky…

 THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM God will provide for himself the lamb… When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld…

GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED! For we are about to destroy this place, because the outcry against its people has become great before the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.” —Genesis 19:13 Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. —Genesis 19:24-25 And he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the valley, and he looked and, behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace. So…

TRUST OUR LORD GOD ALMIGHTY TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE! Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, about this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.” —Psalm 18:14 I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? —Jeremiah 32:27                The answer to the question “Is there anything too hard for the Lord?” of course is no!  Our Lord, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, is all powerful.  He can do anything He desires.  Can a woman that is barren have a child?  If our Lord desires it to happen, it will and…

RIGHTEOUS, BLAMELESS FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE! And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness. —Genesis 15:6 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! —Psalm 4:1  Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham, but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification. —Romans 4:23-25 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.…

THE ONLY HOPE TO CHANGE EVIL HEARTS And when the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, the LORD said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth.” —Genesis 8:21             Man is not naturally good.  Worldly philosophies may promote this, but they are absolutely wrong.  We are told here by our Lord that “the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth.”  On the contrary, man has an evil, sinful nature.  Who will you believe?  This is easily seen among young children.  We have an early learning center and it is interesting to watch…

GOD JUDGED WORLD-WIDE ONCE, HE IS GOING TO DO IT AGAIN! In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground, and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6 The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for…

PARADISE LOST… THEN FOUND… God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. —Genesis 1:31 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” —Genesis 2:15-17 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the…

SO IT IS SAID, SO IT WILL BE DONE! Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us? —Malachi 2:10 Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him. —Malachi 3:18 No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. —Revelation 22:3 Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done. —Revelation 22:12 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers…

ETERNITY IN VIEW Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.  —Revelation 21:1 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”   And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true. —Revelation 21:5 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers,…
