Is it OK for God to get angry? Don’t YOU get angry about slavery and child abuse and such? God does too. The rain began seven days after Noah and his family entered the ark. The storm continued unabated for 40 days, with the underground waters joining in the deluge from above. As Genesis 7:11 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Ever wonder where your family will be a few generations from now? This lesson provides a good case study. I remember my great-grandmother well, a dear godly woman.
