Revelation 2:18-29
Jesus said to the angel of the church of Thyatira: I know your deeds, your love, faith, service, and perseverance, and that your deeds are even better than at first, but I have this against you – you tolerate the woman Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess, who leads His servants astray and causes themContinue reading “Revelation 2:18-29”
My Bible Blog Genesis 17
In chapter 17, Abram is 99 years old. God tells him to “walk before Me and be blameless,” and establishes a covenant with him—that He would multiply him exceedingly. Abram didn’t say, Yeah, yeah.

Though these letters were written to the churches of long ago, they sureContinue reading “Revelation 2:12-17”
My Bible Blog: Genesis 16
Genesis 16 God had been promising an heir for Abram and Sarai, but as usual, God was on His timing, not theirs. To this point, Sarai had been unable to bear children, so she had this horrible idea to allow Abram to impregnate her Egyptian maid Hagar. Maybe Abram had faith in God, but his wifeContinue reading “My Bible Blog: Genesis 16”

My Bible Blog Genesis 11:10-12:3
Hundreds of years and nine generations passed from Shem (son of Noah) to Abram. In fact, Shem was still alive and kickin’ when Abram was born, and if I did my math correctly, they were actually both alive at the same time for 110 years. Terah came from the line of Shem. He was the father ofContinue reading “My Bible Blog Genesis 11:10-12:3”

My Bible Blog Genesis 9:18-29
Genesis 9:18-29 The three sons of Noah were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They were all blessed by God. Ham apparently was the troublemaker, the black sheep of the family. He embarrassed and humiliated his father, and in return, Noah cursed Ham’s son Canaan. Ouch. Noah was found righteous by God, but Noah wasn’t perfect and neither was his son.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Today is a bittersweet day for me. It’s the second Mother’s Day without my mom, but she is in Heaven enjoying freedom and good health, and I feel her with me every day.
