Doors are a decision; they keep some things in and other things out. Ever wonder why Jesus is called the Door? The apostle Peter tells us that it was actually Jesus, by the Spirit, who preached all those years through Noah, pleading with the people to turn from sin to safety. And today, when we […]
Building, not bending, the Ark of history, because history isn’t heading where most people think it’s going. Noah and his sons were instructed by the Lord: “Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch….The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its […]
Did you know the Bible predicts people will be mocking God at the end of history just like in Noah’s day? Some clever people think the story of Noah is an old fable. Jesus didn’t. He believed Noah was a historical figure, and said so. So did the writers of both the Old and New […]

The genealogies in the Bible read like a phone book—all cast and no plot: what are they doing there? As we turn the pages of the Bible, we can’t leave the first family behind, because we’re related! Some say their ancestors came to America on the Mayflower or received a land grant from the king. […]
