In studying the book of Genesis it is so important to get a good grounding because if doctrinal drift occurs here the bible student will fall far afield from the central truths and tenets of scripture. If you...

The Jerusalem temple was the focal point of the celebration of the seven feast days of the Lord. Those feast days, overseen by the Levitical priesthood, were a foundational part of the Law of Moses. The feast days were to be celebrated as long as the Law of Moses was in effect. All agree that the first four feast days were prophetic foreshadows of the ministry of Christ, his passion and resurrection. All agree that the final three feast days foreshadowed the coming kingdom, Judgment, Day of the Lord, Resurrection and the New Creation. The first four of the feast days were fulfilled while ...

MY brethren, if we at all believe that creation is the work of God; that highest wisdom, and highest power, and highest goodness, these, and not random chance, presided over its birth; we must then also, and as a necessary consequence, believe that to every creature of God’s hand a certain sphere of action was at the first assigned, in which moving, all should be well with it, for it would be fulfilling the ends of its creation; while, if it should forsake this, or he forcibly removed from it, all would then he harsh, discordant, adapting itself ill, or adapting itself not at all, to its ...

Like popular movies and novels, Bible stories have intriguing plots of love, friendship, betrayal, competition, murder, and war. Yet, many times they seem boring and we have trouble relating to the characters. Through first-person ...
