I loved the book Reconnected by Carlos Whittaker! One day I was listening to a podcast that had been shared by a friend (Laura Baker). The guest on the podcast that day was a man named Carlos Whittaker. He did an experiment in which he removed all technology and screens from his life for sevenContinue reading “Time to Reconnect”

Cain Moves On
Genesis 4:16-26 Cain has killed his brother Abel, and God sends him out to wander the earth. Cain ends up in the land of Nod, which is east of Eden. This verse always seems to stump people. If Adam and Eve were the first people, and they only had two children (sons) and one was already dead,Continue reading “Cain Moves On”
Cain’s Punishment
Genesis 4:9-15 (Originally posted on March 2, 2020) Cain has just killed his brother Abel, apparently, over petty jealousy. In verse 9 God questions Cain, and Cain lies to God. Can you imagine lying to God? God asks you a question; you know God knows EVERYTHING, but you still lie to Him? What sense does that make? Reminds me ofContinue reading “Cain’s Punishment”
Faith or Works?
The story of Rahab in the book of Joshua is a tale of faith, works, and promises. It also shows God is not picky in whom he uses for good. Rahab was a prostitute who saved God’s men in the land of Jericho. Joshua (a man of God) sent two spies into Jericho to secretlyContinue reading “Faith or Works?”
Cain and Abel
Genesis Chp. 4:1-8 (Originally published on February 21, 2020) Adam “knew” his wife Eve and she gave birth to Cain. Later she gave birth to Abel. Abel kept flocks of sheep, and Cain was a tiller of the ground. Cain brought an offering to the Lord of the fruit of the ground. Abel brought ofContinue reading “Cain and Abel”
The Fruits of the Holy Spirit
In a previous post I discussed the gifts of the Holy Spirit: (1 Corinthians 12:8-10) These are given to us when we are saved, however, the Holy Spirit doesn’t just give gifts. When we have the Holy Spirit within us, it also produces fruit. In Matthew 7:16, we are told we will know evil byContinue reading “The Fruits of the Holy Spirit”
Genesis 3:8-24
Originally posted February 13, 2020 After Eve was deceived by the serpent, and she and Adam disobeyed God, they must have known right off that they had done something horrible. They were afraid or feeling guilty or both, and they hid from God. My guess is that at one time or another, we’ve all wantedContinue reading “Genesis 3:8-24”
Genesis 2:8 –Genesis 3:7
In these verses, God plants a garden toward the east in Eden and tells Adam to cultivate it. God causes the trees to grow for food, for life, and for-bidden (the tree of the knowledge of good and evil). There are rivers to water the garden. He creates Eve to be a helpmate to Adam. HeContinue reading “Genesis 2:8 –Genesis 3:7”
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit
In Christianity, the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Holy Trinity. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are each separate but also one in the same. Just like Christians are each individual people but are all part of one body, the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit gives gifts to believers in JesusContinue reading “The Gifts of the Holy Spirit”
Genesis 1:1-Genesis 2:7

My previous Bible Blog post pointed out that God had already formed the earth (which is made of dust)Continue reading “Genesis 1:1-Genesis 2:7”

Genesis 1:1-2
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters (NASB). I wonder how many Bible readers actually notice that all of this happened BEFORE theContinue reading “Genesis 1:1-2”
A Warning From God?
Contrary to information found on the internet, it seems the April 8 eclipse occurred without incident. Many conspiracy theories surrounding the eclipse this year used the locations of its path as fodder. For instance, the eclipse moved across our United States over areas named Nineveh, Jonah, Little Egypt, Devil’s Kitchen, and Rapture, but what doesContinue reading “A Warning From God?”
Don’t Follow Your Heart
America’s greatest slogan: “Follow your heart.” I don’t know about you, but just about every time I’ve followed my heart, it has led me to trouble. So why do we do it? We have been programmed through movies, books, and songs to go after our heart’s desire, to seek happiness at all costs. Why? ThisContinue reading “Don’t Follow Your Heart”

Go See Sound of Freedom
My husband and recently celebrated our 20th anniversary of our first date. How did we celebrate? I dragged him to the movies to see Jim Caviezel (I love him!). Sound of Freedom is not a romantic movie one should use as a celebration, but we don’t go to the movies anymore, and I knew weContinue reading “Go See Sound of Freedom”
Genesis 40-41
Genesis 40 While Joseph was still in prison, two others joined him. The cupbearer and the baker did something to irritate the pharaoh, and he had them thrown into prison. The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph. After some time, they each had a disturbing dream on the same night. Joseph was ableContinue reading “Genesis 40-41”
Genesis 39
Getting back to Joseph who had been sold by his own brothers to the Ishmaelites—he had been taken to Egypt and bought by Potiphar who worked for Pharaoh. God helped Joseph and put him in such a place that he became a trusted advisor in the house of Potiphar. Potiphar was no dummy and sawContinue reading “Genesis 39”
Genesis 38
This chapter focuses on Judah, one of Jacob’s sons by Leah. Judah is the tribe of the bloodline of Jesus. It was important for Jesus to come from a pure bloodline, but as you will see, though the blood may be pure, not everyone in Jesus’s family tree is spotless. Judah left his brothers andContinue reading “Genesis 38”
Genesis 36-37
Genesis 36 Esau, also referred to as Edom, married women from the land of Canaan. As you may recall, his parents were very distressed over this, for they were not of a Godly people. He married Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah and the granddaughter of Zibeon theContinue reading “Genesis 36-37”
