Once again, archeology catches up…
Michael Jursa, a visiting professor from Vienna…made what has been called the most important find in Biblical archaeology for 100 years, a discovery that supports the view that the historical books of the Old Testament are based on fact.
Searching for Babylonian financial accounts among the tablets, Prof Jursa suddenly came across [...]

We’re back in the first grade classroom teaching Sunday School and Children’s Church this month. Yesterday’s lesson was Daniel 4.
What an amazing picture of…
Pride.
Nebuchadnezzar, even though he was previously warned, still took the glory of his kingdom onto himself. And his bragging is so obvious, it makes it a perfect lesson for children or adults:
Daniel [...]

I was reading through Genesis 3 for a class I’m taking, and I noticed something I’d not noticed before:
Genesis 3:8

8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the [...]

While reading through 1 Samuel 3-4, I was struck by a couple of interesting things just prior to God’s call of Samuel:
1 Samuel 3:3

3 The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. (ESV)

1. Note that “the lamp [...]

Genesis 3:8

8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. (ESV)

As soon as Adam and Eve committed the first earthly sin against God, [...]

I was recently reading through Genesis 11 and I was puzzled somewhat by this verse:
Genesis 11:31

31 Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan, but when [...]

I recently started studying through the book of Genesis again. I’ve read through it before, probably several times. Most of the attempts I’ve made read through the Bible have tended to get bogged down in Leviticus or Numbers, so I’ve probably restarted and re-read Genesis half a dozen times.
Genesis, of course, means “origins” or “beginning.” [...]

Genesis 32:24

24 And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. (ESV)

Shannon and I were recently reading through Genesis 32, and I was struck by the sheer poetry of this verse. I don’t mean poetry in the same sense as the Psalms; rather, poetry in the sense [...]

Adrian Warnock is studying Proverbs, and wonders, Are Bloggers Scoffers?:
As I was reading these proverbs through again today, I fear that we could easily switch the word “scoffer” for the word “blogger.” These proverbs have so much in them to challenge the Christian blogging community. How easily could we write — “Bloggers set a city [...]
