Walking With God

We see the contrast between the ungodly posterity of Cain and the godly line of Seth. The pinnacle of Seth’s genealogy is highlighted by Enoch who walked with God, pleased God, diligently sought God, and the Lord decided to just take him home to heaven as he was translated. We ought to follow Enoch’s example and walk by faith and please and walk with God on a daily basis.

Phillipians 2

In studying Phillipians chapter 2, we see the humility we should display by following the pattern of humility by Jesus Christ. While many might rebel against the Lord now, the day will come when every knee shall bow and confess Jesus Christ to the glory of God the Father.

Fear vs Faith

We study the failure of faith that escalated from fear of the Israelites going into the land of Canaan. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but he has given us the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. We see the contrasting voice of faith from Caleb and Joshua and the voices of fear of the other 10 spies. Unfortunately, the Israelites let fear control them and it resulted in them dying in the wilderness and not partaking of the joys of Canaan that should have been theirs.

Science Falsely So Called – Denying Original Sin

Denying the biblical creation account is not an insignificant matter. If we deny the literal Genesis account, there are core doctrines that will inevitably soon be compromised. One of the most important core doctrines compromised is original sin. The majority of Christianity thinks man has to do something to go to heaven, but total depravity and original sin affirm whatever action is supposedly necessary, man cannot meet it. Much of the confusion over salvation today can be traced back to denying original sin which is an inevitable result of denying the Genesis account of creation.

Praying for Doors of Utterance

The Apostle Paul’s personal prayer requests for the church for him was for the increase of God’s kingdom – to pray for doors of utterance for the growth of the gospel. As Jesus affirmed in the model prayer, at the forefront of our prayers should be for the kingdom of God to come, and that we should ask, seek, and knock and then the door would be opened unto us.

Won Over, Sold Out

We look at the example of the poor widow who was fully sold out for the Lord. We study together some requirements in our lives if we are truly going to be sold out for the kingdom of God in service to God in the manner that we ought to be.

The Wicked vs The Righteous

In the story of Cain and Abel, we see the first occurrence of the animosity, hatred, even pinnacling in murder of the wicked against the righteous. Abel’s great offense of Cain that led to his murder was simply righteous works that made Cain hate him. The wicked apart from the grace of God coming in their hearts in regeneration have a desire to attack and destroy the righteous, and we are thankful for the Lord’s restraining hand in protecting us from the wicked.

The House of Prayer

We see the early church fervently followed the commission of Jesus to be the house, the dwelling place of prayer. We see personal prayers all throughout the book of Acts, but we also see consistent prayer meetings as the church body. During times of waiting, uncertainty, fear, and persecution, the church turned to the Lord in prayer and the Lord answered in miraculous ways, through an earthquake, and even through the apostles being released from prison.

The World That Then Was – Noah’s Flood

One of the most important facts to consider and account for in the study of the world and creation science is the catastrophic nature of Noah’s flood. Literally the world that then was – the world before the flood – perished in the global flood of Noah. The world which is now is categorically and scientifically different than the world that God originally created before the flood, and that catastrophic change must be accounted in the study of any true science and geology.

The Seed of the Woman

In the midst of the darkness of the fall, God gives us the first glimpse of the light of the glorious gospel – that the seed of a the woman would crush the head of the serpent. We are thankful that the testimony of the whole Bible is that the Lamb would crush the head of the devil, culminating in the book of Revelation when the devil, the beast, the false prophet, and all the enemies of Christ finally have their heads fully crushed in the lake of fire for all eternity.
