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 […]

Some people say that various religions are just different paths to the summit? Who says we’re going uphill? It’s breathtaking how quickly the world went bad. In Genesis 1:31, we read, “God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.” Just five chapters later (6:12), the diagnosis was: “God looked upon […]

The average lifespan worldwide today is 78.6 years, just about where Moses said it was 3500 years ago! In Genesis 5:21 we read, “Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.” Then verse 27 adds, “So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.” Have you ever heard the saying, […]
The Bible says if you’re only born once, you’ll die twice, but if born twice, you can only die once. Interesting! It isn’t so long ago that, when a person died, the church bell would toll for that person, often ringing one time for each year of life. John Donne, writing in 1624, penned the […]

Is it true that some of the Bible isn’t true? Jesus said the whole world will disappear before one letter proves false.

Instead, the Genesis account tells of Cain’s family building the first […]

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. […]
Isn’t it awkward when atheists use their intelligence to try and prove there’s no intelligence behind the universe? We read in Romans 10:17, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Genesis is filled with events that take faith to believe—the making of the universe, the creation of humanity, and the judgment […]
There’s only one thing more expensive than forgiving someone—and that’s NOT forgiving them. The subject of forgiveness is so important I want to linger two minutes more on Genesis 4:13, where Cain says, “My iniquity is greater than that it may be forgiven.” Listen in as I talk with a man who holds his wife […]
