Studies In Genesis: Chapters 14 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 14, 2011

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. Genesis 14 1*. And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer ...read more

Why Can't We Just Be Friends Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 1, 2015

The Bible repeatedly warns us to be very careful about the kind of friends we choose. But does that mean we should never make friends of non-Christians?

It's A High Price To Pay For Having Your Own Way

Contributed by Larry Jacobs on Jun 29, 2006

Lot was the classic example of a worldly Christian. He was what we would call a Backslidden Child of God.

It’s a High Price to Pay for Having Your Own Way Gen 13:1-13 Lot is a very interesting character. He was the son of Abraham’s Brother. Last week we look at the Faith of Abraham. One of those things was he obeyed the Word of God. But when we take a closer look – You will remember that God told ...read more

Genesis Chapter 14. An Expository review of the traits of Abram (Abraham), and how our modern men fall far short.

Where Have all The Good Men Gone? Genesis 14 Ya know, Men have gotten a pretty Bad rap here in the United States.

God takes us into his confidence that we may warn others about sin, but that we may also intercede for them,

Part 12 - Matthew 10:11-15 - They Can Go To Hell? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 15, 2010

I have heard the terms "GO TO HELL" and "SEE YOU IN HELL" used all too casually over the years. Hell, as described in the Bible, is not something you would wish on even your worst enemies.

I was speaking to someone about New Zealand a couple of days ago and how when we went there we had explored the colourful natural volcanic areas of Rotorua - bubbling mud, steaming ground and geysers, huge volcanic craters and weird and wonderful ...read more
