    We are in the middle of a spiritual war that many Christians are unaware of. We need to learn to look toward heaven as Jesus did in Matthew 14.

    Winning a race requires purpose and discipline. As Christians, we are running toward our heavenly reward. Don’t merely observe from the grandstand; don’t just turn out to jog a couple of laps each morning. Train diligently – your spiritual progress depend

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 39 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 17, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,939 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. In Genesis 39 there is one phrase that seem to be the common theme of this chapter. It is found in verses 2,3,21, and 23. ...read more
