Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder

What can a group of beings from another world teach us about being successful in this world?  Join me for 7 minutes to explore a strange chapter in human history, when spiritual beings, probably fall…

The point is NOT that Methuselah lived 969 years, as impressive as this is.  He sets the world record for longevity. The main point is what follows the comma, "...and he died."

So just like the rest o…

The God of the Bible has gone to repeated lengths for us to know about a man named ENOCH. He lived 365 years and walked with God for 300 of them. Then, he was taken. He was no more as far as those on…

In the Bible, a genealogy should not be a DISTRACTION, they should be the POINT. It is here we see that we have a personal, attentive, interactive, and faithful God.

Today we will recount a very uniqu…

Scholars say that Enosh INVENTS or at least POINEERS WORSHIP in Genesis. It is a verbal, public, directed and desperate response to the presence of a holy, good God. He decides to treat God in a cert…

Eve saves the world in today's passage. To save the world you gotta build a boat. To build a boat you're gonna need a boat-builder. (Noah) To get to the boat-builder, you gotta go through SETH.  To g…

God designed the marriage bed to have just two people in it: a husband and a wife. Polygamy is very similar to modern day porn in that OTHER people are allowed into the marriage bed. That is, the bor…

Seven generations into marriage, a guy named Lamech TOOK TWO WIVES. He opens a theological bees nest as to whether this is God's original INTENT. It affects all the rest of us in subsequent generatio…

In the 7th generation on earth, there is yet ANOTHER murder.  Lamech kills a young man for wounding him.  It is a disproportional response.  He then BRAGS about it to his family.  He is PROUD of it.

W…

Our bad example of Cain has many chances to do things right.  He can either move AWAY from the presence of the Lord or move TOWARD the presence of the Lord. It is helpful to think of this GEOGRAPHICA…

Cain ends up in the worst place in the world: AWAY from the PRESENCE of the LORD. Sadly, he had the choice to move TOWARD the presence of God, but decided against it.

He still complained about the res…

We will take our little lesson from a murderer today. Cain is the worst example, but he asks a great question: Am I my brother's keeper?

First, should I even NOTICE my sisters? Second, should I be acc…

It is a sobering thing for a human to realize that in certain circumstances, they are NOT at the top of the food chain. They may indeed be HUNTED.  There are creatures out there that desire to kill a…

Cain murders his brother. He does so with evil intent, thoughtful consideration, and violent means. We were hoping that the evil of "The Fall" in  Genesis Chapter 3 would be enough for the rest of et…

For some, conception, child bearing and childrearing is the closest they will come to the Divine in their entire lives.  Why is that? Because God is in it.  He invented sexual intimacy and the miracl…

What did God KNOW when He walked in the garden of the cool of the day? 

He knew He had been betrayed; that His character had been questioned. He already knew that The Son would be on the menu of sacri…

Lots in Genesis Chapter 3, just after the FALL, points to HEAVEN and the way Jesus gets us there.

First, we get more family. From this living family comes Seth first and then Jesus eventually.

Second, …

Part of the curse is the introduction of death and decay into the world. In fact, it is happening in every cell of your body as you read this. It is called cellular senescence. Eventually, that catch…
