By Walker Lane When you pray, do you micro-manage God? Do you ever tell Him how to fix your problems? Are you impatient in waiting for His answers? Well, you aren’t alone. According to Genesis 27, Jacob was destined for greatness through the promise God made to his grandfather Abraham, but Jacob and his motherContinue reading “MICRO-MANAGING GOD”

Who Is Israel?
Who is Israel, and why does it matter? In the Bible, the man called Israel was actually born as Jacob. Remember the story of Jacob and Esau? Esau sold his birthright to his twin brother Jacob for a bowl of stew. These twins were the sons of Isaac who was the son of Abraham, whoContinue reading “Who Is Israel?”
Genesis 8:20-9:17
Originally posted on May 7, 2020 The first thing Noah did when he left the ark was build an altar to the Lord. He took of every clean animal and offered burnt offerings to God. The Lord smelled the soothing aroma and said that He would never again destroy every living thing. God was faithful to Noah, andContinue reading “Genesis 8:20-9:17”
Genesis 8:5-19
Revised from the original post on May 1, 2020 After the great flood, the waters finally receded. While Noah was waiting, he sent out a raven and it flew here and there. Then he sent out a dove, but with no place for it to land, it returned to him. He waited seven days then sent the doveContinue reading “Genesis 8:5-19”
This is What Christmas is All About, Charlie Brown
Every year at Christmas time, my favorite tradition is to sit down as a family and watch the old Charlie Brown Christmas special. My son is grown now, but with him or without, every year like clockwork, I still watch it. Even back in the 1960s, it seemed like Hollywood was pushing Christ out ofContinue reading “This is What Christmas is All About, Charlie Brown”
Noah’s Ark
Originally posted on April 23, 2020. Genesis Chp. 7 – 8:4 In chapter six, God told Noah to build the ark, and he did – as crazy as it must have seemed. God found Noah to be righteous and wanted to save him and his family. He was 600 years old when God began to sendContinue reading “Noah’s Ark”
Heal
Do you know that God CAN heal you and your loved ones, but still doubt that He will? It’s understandable. We pray for healing all the time, but not all the time do we receive it. Why is this? Do you think maybe it’s God’s plan to allow sickness and disease to overcome us? DoContinue reading “Heal”
Mourn with Hope
(Originally posted on June 8, 2025) Mourning is a curious thing. Someone you’ve known and loved your entire life is suddenly gone. At first, there is just the knowledge of it—very rationale. Then, you’re busy, so it seems bearable as long as you’re not standing still. Stillness is the enemy in mourning. When you stopContinue reading “Mourn with Hope”
WAS JOB REALLY PATIENT?
My whole life I have heard about the patience of Job, but when I finally got around to reading this canonical text, I realized I’d been duped, because in my opinion, he was not so patient. For those who do not know this story, in the book of Job, the devil attempts to turn JobContinue reading “WAS JOB REALLY PATIENT?”
Mourn With Hope
Mourning is a curious thing. Someone you’ve known and loved your entire life is suddenly gone. At first, there is just the knowledge of it—very rationale. Then, you’re busy, so it seems bearable as long as you’re not standing still. Stillness is the enemy in mourning. When you stop moving, that’s when it hits youContinue reading “Mourn With Hope”
Tricky Tricky
Genesis Chp. 6:1-13 Genesis Chapter 6 describes wicked times in the Bible and contains verses which are controversial due to the differing views of Bible scholars. Some believe that the sons of God mentioned in verse 2 are actually fallen angels who, with Satan, were thrown out of Heaven. Other Bible scholars believe that the sons ofContinue reading “Tricky Tricky”
Adam to Noah
Genesis 5 I will never forget the time my son called me and asked (without even a “Hi Mom.”), “What happened to m’ man Enoch?” My response: “Huh?” I soon realized he was talking about Enoch from the Bible. The Bible is very brief about Enoch’s demise. In fact, it’s so brief it’s easy to completely miss. From Genesis 5:1Continue reading “Adam to Noah”
Time to Reconnect
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”
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”
