Conference on Men and Abortion

Vicki Thorn of Project Rachael has asked that we spread the word about an upcoming conference on men and abortion, with a special focus on healing men from the trauma of abortion. The abortive father is so often the lone forgotten figure so often overlooked in this tragedy. Men scarred by abortion include boyfriends, husbands, uncles, siblings, [...]

Who God is; How We Ought To Be

As we finish up the study on “His image , His likeness” I wanted to give us a few more things to think on. I wanted us to go beyond the trying to define what image is, and what likeness is, to acting in God’s image and likeness. In other words, doing things like God [...]

God is Relational

The Lord God said,” It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for Him.” So the Lord God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, He took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. The Lord God then built [...]

God Rules

And the Lord God commanded the man saying,”Of every tree of the garden, you may freely eat; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die.”    Gen. 2:16-17 (NASB)
As stated last time, God allows us to [...]

God Allows

And God blessed them; and God said to them,”Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.  Gen. 1:28 (NASB)
God gave us the command to subdue (conquer) the [...]

God Unites

God created man in His image; in the divine image He created him; male and female He created them.   Gen 1:27  (NAB)
Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being (soul). Gen. 2:7 (NASB)
God takes dust, dirt and [...]

God blessed

And God blessed them; and God said to them “Be fruitful and multiply…” Gen. 1:28 (NASB)
In God’s image and likeness, He has given us the responsibility of blessing. Just as God has bestowed His blessings on humanity, so we must do, and it must start at home. Husbands with wives, wives with husbands, parents with [...]

God separates

And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.  Gen. 1:4 (NASB)
In the image and likeness of God we have the ability or power (if you will) to separate. Hearkening back to our last study, we were talking about speaking in a positive manner to achieve positive results. [...]

God spoke

Then God said “Let there be light;” and there was light.  Gen. 1:3  (NASB)
God saw the emptiness, the darkness, the formlessness and He spoke to it. There was change. Our circumstances will never change if we put our heads in the sand and not address what is going on around us. God spoke and there [...]
