Trusting God's Word

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Mar 13, 2021

Because God's Word is trustworthy, what should we do then?

“Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, ‘Did God actually say, ”You shall not eat of any tree in the garden”?’ And the woman said to the serpent, ‘We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, “You ...read more

God's Day Off Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

As Christian we ought to have it clear in our minds that we are no longer under the law with all of its Sabbath regulations. If we were, we are all storing up the wrath of God for the day of judgment.

I had the unique opportunity to talk deeply about biblical matters with a wealthy orthodox Jew. Among other things we talked about the Sabbath. He was a very conscientious Jew who knew his Bible quite well, and so I asked him how he reconciled operating a business on Saturday when the ...read more

The Man Who Was Not Born Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

How did man begin? Verse 7 makes it clear that he was not born, but was formed. He was molded as clay in the potter's hand. He was a product of what already existed.

An old preacher from the back woods was teaching a class of children about how God created man. He said, "In the beginning there was just nothin at all. One day God was fooling around with some mud, and before you knew it he had a man. He put that man up against a fence to dry there in the ...read more

Scripture: Genesis 2:4-17

The First Lady Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

Women have always been a major force in history, if for no other reason, because of their influence on men. Never was this more true than when there was only one woman and one man.

Only one president of the United States was a bachelor as president, and that was Grover Cleveland. All others had wives, and these First Ladies of our land have had an enormous influence on history. Martha Washington was the first First Lady of the United States. She, like other wives in those ...read more

Satanic Success Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

The Christian must forget tradition and art, and build his concept of Satan on the only reliable source of information, and that is the Bible.

William Congreve said, “If I were a painter I would draw the devil like an idiot, a driveller with a bib and bells.” All I can say to that is that I am glad he is not a painter, for he would only serve the devil’s cause by painting him as a driveling idiot. I agree with Thomas Lodge who said, ...read more

Scripture: Genesis 3:1-7

Tricked Into A Treat Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

The very first sin teaches us of the danger of letting the end justify the means. It is by this philosophy that Satan can trick us into treats

On Halloween night the streets are filled with masked children out to get treats and to play a few tricks. Their masks may hide their identity from us, but we are only moderately fooled because we know that underneath there are children and not assorted demons, or at least not supernatural ...read more

Scripture: Genesis 3:1-6

Fruit Of Evil Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

This is the test that Eve failed, and then Adam followed. The first sin of man, like the first sin in the life of most everyone, was very simple and not sensational.

We have seen in our study of verse 6 that the fall of man was brought about by Satan’s subtlety in getting Eve to gain a good end by a bad means. The danger of allowing the end to justify the means is a real danger all of us need to be aware of, for none are immune to the virus of this danger. We ...read more

Scripture: Genesis 3:6-7

The Dawn Of Conscience Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

A ten-year-old boy came home from Sunday School and his mother asked him what he had learned. "Well," he began, "Our teacher told us about when God sent Moses behind the enemy lines to rescue the Israelites from the Egyptians. When they came to the Red Sea, Moses called for the ...read more

Scripture: Genesis 3:7

God In Man's Image Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

Even before man knew of God the Son, the Father was described in terms of human characteristics. The reason for this is obvious, for there is no alternative if man is going to have any intelligent concept of the nature of God.

A young boy afraid of the dark called for his mother to come upstairs to his bedroom to be with him. She came and sought to comfort him by telling him God was there with him, and so he didn't have to be afraid. He was all right for a while, but then he called her again. When she came up he ...read more

Scripture: Genesis 3:8

Guilty But Not As Charged Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

This passage makes it clear that man does not need to be totally depraved to be totally out of God's will, and that he who stands must beware less he fall.

A close study of the account of the fall of man has done more to open my eyes to the danger of tradition than any other study I have done. Those who profess to take it literally have done much in making it mythological by using it to teach lessons that have no basis in the text itself. Those who ...read more

Scripture: Genesis 3:12-14

A Good Start Is Not Enough Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

One of the basic truths we learned from the account of the fall is that it is not a good start, but a good ending, that is most important.

A young boy came home from his first day of school and confessed to his father that he told a lie. The father asked why he did it and the boy said, "Well, dad, when they asked me where I was born it seemed so sissy to say The Woman's Hospital, so I said the Yankee Stadium." So often ...read more
