Took my first sip of coffee this morning. Continue reading because this is not about coffee (or did that lose you right there!). It was good. Then I took a bite of breakfast – white chocolate candy with strawberry pieces. Then I took another sip of coffee. Something was wrong. It didn’t taste as good. […]

Ephesians 5:28 (NASB) “So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;” I’ve often joked about how men show they love their own body by what they eat…I am actually enjoying cheesecake right now. I love my body! But I think Paul is […]

What methods did Eve use to determine eating of the forbidden tree was permissible? Warning – these might sound familiar. 1. Perspective Over Revelation – “The woman saw the tree was good for food” (Genesis 3:6). 2. Pleasure Over Self-Control – “and that it was a delight to the eyes” (Genesis 3:6). 3. Power Over […]

The first case of adding to God’s word is by Eve. God told Adam not to eat of the tree; Eve added not to touch (Genesis 2:17; 3:3). The following tries reimagining Eve’s mind based upon human experience. Hopefully I will not be guilty of doing what Eve is accused of – adding to the […]

While the serpent and woman were created for different purposes, both ended up working together against the good of Adam and themselves. This scene in Genesis 3 […]

Adam and Eve were forced from the garden, a place of fruit and water, to live in a cursed land. The Israelites were freed, then wandered in a cursed land until they came to a place of milk and honey. Jesus left his home and came to a spiritually cursed land where He was offered […]

Catholics persecuted Protestants; and Protestants returned the disfavor. Those claiming allegiance to Jesus and those following Muhammad’s example killed one another. On a far smaller scale, churches have factions battling one another. What they all have in common is their protection of self masquerading as a protection of God’s truth. Where did this begin? Sadly […]

Tuesday’s Thought – Separation. Re-reading the creation account, I remembered how separation was a reoccurring feature (Genesis 1): Day 1 – Separation of light and dark, night and day. Day 2 – Separation of waters on the earth from the sky by an expanse. Day 3 – Separation of water from dry land. Day 4 […]

In the beginning God creates Adam and Eve to be His representative image on earth. They chose to not represent by failing to listen. This is the beginning of the end. God begins all over again with Noah, a new physical creation. He does well initially, but then gets drunk from his own planting success […]

People will believe what they want to believe. We are that weak, and that should scare us. For proof of this, let’s look at history to see how messed up people can be while claiming to use the Bible. And I mean really messed up! There was a heretical “Christian” sect called the Cainites. A […]
