     | 880 views

    Did the patriarchs and matriarchs of old leave us an example of a living faith or empty belief? Let's discuss this in Hebrews 11.

    Is faith the assurance of things hoped for, the proof of things not yet seen? Did the patriarchs and matriarchs have a faith that pleased God? Do we believe that God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him? Let’s discuss this in Hebrews 11. What is faith? Did faith make the ancient ...read more

    Questions In Genesis (Answers In The Gospels)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 31, 2024
     | 305 views

    Genesis does not give us the final answers. Rather it poses a lot of questions and mysteries which are only answered later in the Gospels. Let's look at some of those questions.

    Excellent resources are the ministry of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Research Institute. However, there are questions in Genesis not answered until the Gospels. Let’s look at some of those questions. At creation, God described humanity as “very good.” Are we now totally depraved or ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 2, 2024

    Is it possible for an infinite God to create everything that exists within the space of a week?

In the ...read more

    The Garden (Genesis 2)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 3, 2024
     | 472 views

    What are some lessons we can learn from the garden? This will probably make some people mad, but let's not be offended, let's search for God's will in our lives. We'll be in Genesis 2.

    The first creation account does not actually end in Genesis 1, but continues into the next chapter. Let’s look at Genesis 2. Did God bless the seventh day from creation? Did God later reinstitute this day during the Exodus? Did Jesus or the Apostles command this day for the church? What spiritual ...read more

     | 566 views

    Has temptation to sin basically changed? Let's discuss this in Genesis 3.

    Does sin begin with temptation? When we begin to think that disobeying God looks pleasant to the eyes and desirable to make one wise, are we in trouble? Let’s discuss this in Genesis 3.

    Brother has been killing brother since the beginning and our world still hasn't learned to love instead of hate: Hutu killing Tutsi, China threatening Taiwan, Russia attacking Ukraine, Israel and Palestine, the unwelcomed refugee, the unwelcomed innocent unborn child. Let’s explore the first ...read more

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 6, 2025
     | 394 views

    Is all anger evil, or is there a righteous anger? Let's look at 1 Samuel 11.

    Whom Do We Serve (1 Samuel 12)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 8, 2025
     | 255 views

    Whom do we serve, politics, a king, or God? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 12.

    Israel rejected God as king, by choosing a human king. God still worked with them but warned them that something important was still required. Are following and obeying the Lord important to us? Let’s look in 1 Samuel 12. Did Samuel challenge Israel that he was an honest man who did not defraud or ...read more

     | 313 views

    Was Saul erratic, sometimes doing God's will and sometimes not? Let's look at 1 Samuel 14.

    Did Jonathan have a living faith that included action? Did Saul vacillate between asking God’s guidance and foolish decisions? Do we? Let’s begin in 1 Samuel 14.
