God And Creation

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 7, 2021

Someone has said that Genesis 1:1 is read more than any verse in the Bible. This is especially true in January, since many begin the year with the determination to read the Bible through that year, but often that is as far as they get.

However, if they only read this one verse, it will tell them a great deal about the God of the Bible. This one scripture is considered to be the FOUNDATION which the Word of God is built upon. Since this is the case, is it any wonder that Genesis 1:1 is specifically targeted by those who try to ...read more

God Of The Bible

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jul 24, 2024

Thinking correctly about God is of utmost importance because a false idea about God is idolatry. It is much easier to know doctrines than it is to know God - because you don't have to pay a price to know the doctrines.

The first and primary evidence for the existence of God is the existence of the creation. It is only natural that man, being a reasoning creature, should ask questions about the creation and the creator. Obviously, the universe and all that in it, had not been created by man, and yet its design ...read more
