Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:3. In the commentary below it said God was allowing the people of Noah’s day 120 years to change their sinful ways. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among…

Reading Genesis 5 we find out about our first ancestors right up to Noah and his sons. Two of our ancestors I keep thinking about. Abel and Enoch. There is so little written about Abel and the Bible doesn’t mention how old Abel was when Cain, his brother, firstborn of Adam and Eve, took his…

Last night on The Chosen Livestream for Season 3 on YouTube, we saw a remarkable documentary. 10 young men and women from different parts of the country were brought together to stream a show. They didn’t know what show. They were asked to watch and honestly share their thoughts, hold nothing back. Their own personal…

Can you imagine when God made parrots? The feathers in all their beautiful colors; how about lions and seeing their eyes looking right at Him? Tiny sparrows He reminds us He knows when each one falls. Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in…

Reading Revelation 14 this morning, I quickly felt all my inadequacies. We have only watched the Open Table Conference discussions up to Chapter 13. Chapter 14 is hard and it doesn’t take long to realize why the winepress of the wrath of God is needed. I took that to Him in prayer and He told…

The most disturbing thing about reading Revelation 13 is the widespread deception. Satan is clever and people are impressed by power. We are warned of 2 beasts; one from the sea and one from the earth and both under the power of Satan who tries to counterfeit God. The saddest thing is that he succeeds…

Reading this morning in Revelation 12 and remembering the discussions of that Chapter with Open Table Conference, I was struck with the imagery John described. v. 1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She…

Do you ever feel overwhelmed? I see faults in myself and others and wonder how will it ever be made good for all of us. Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given…
