‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ Like many today, Job thought he knew all he needed to know about God … then God took him “deeper.” It is easy to talk about wanting to know God better, to go “deeper” in your relationship with God, but few seem to understand that the road of suffering and trials is the path that gets you…
‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ Every day of your life has value and purpose. It may not seem like that statement is true, but knowing the sovereign God who reveals Himself in His Word means you understand that HE is always at work in this world and in your life in ways that you cannot possibly imagine. He orders events and opens and…
‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ God wants His people to KNOW Him! When talking about “revelation,” most people think only about the last book of the Bible: “The Revelation of John.” In reality, the entire Bible is God’s revelation of Himself to His people. Creation itself testifies to its Creator, but the Bible is God’s “special revelation,” given to a specific group…
‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ Talking about LOVE in the context of the story of David and Goliath may sound absurd, but the truth is that the motivation for David’s willingness to fight Goliath was his heartfelt love for the God he knew. There are two opposing “forces” in this world: Good and Evil. We know that God is good and Satan and…
‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ Growing up as part of the “family tree” of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, being part of the people of Israel, brought with it the privilege of being part of the only nation in the world to whom God had made Himself known and with whom He had entered into “covenant,” making promises to those who believed…
‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ A recent survey asked people if they believed in hell, and about 60% said they believed in some kind of punishment after death. Yet few are willing to believe that many people go there! Those who believe there is a “heaven,” more than 80%, believe almost everyone goes there, and 60% of those who claim to be Christians…
‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ Almost everybody has at least heard of “the ten commandments,” even if very few can tell you what they are! The original movie hit the theatres in 1956, depicting God speaking to Moses on the top of Mt. Sinai and writing the commandments in stone with a “finger of fire!” It was all quite dramatic, but it…
‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ Some people believe that everyone questions God sometimes. They believe that everyone has fears and wonders at times if God is with them. But even if that were true, it shouldn’t be!! And it certainly doesn’t NEED to be! God gives us His Word and His Spirit to teach us, and by learning how He has worked in the past…
‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ Your life can never be the same once you come to know that you have been chosen by God, redeemed by Christ and born again by His Spirit. While people around you search for their “identity,” you know who you are: a born again child of God, in whom the Spirit is at work. As people you know find…
‘From Eden … to the Cross!’ Once you know who God IS … the God who created the universe and everything in it, and who upholds and sustains it by His power and wisdom … and you know that He destroyed the world with a flood, bringing judgment and death upon the entire human race except Noah and his family … you…
