One Man, One Woman, for Life
In every generation, cultures debate and redefine what marriage should be. Laws change, customs shift, and opinions multiply. But long before any nation wrote its first statute or culture formed its first traditions, God Himself designed marriage. Scripture does not begin with a government, a school, or a nation. It begins with a man and a woman in a garden , joined together by their Creator. If we want to understand marriage, we must go back to where God began. 1. Marriage

Bone of My Bone and Flesh of My Flesh: Marriage by God’s Design
“This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” —Genesis 2:23 What a scene Scripture paints in Genesis 2. On the sixth day, after forming Adam from the dust, God caused a deep sleep to come upon him, took a rib from his side, and fashioned the woman. When God brought her to Adam, he responded with awe: “Bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.” In that moment, God established something that did not come fro

Noah and Grace Through Faith
When Genesis 6 opens, the world is almost unrecognizable compared to the “very good” creation of Genesis. 1. Humanity has multiplied, but so has wickedness. “And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth…But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.”—Genesis 6:7–8 In a world overflowing with violence, corruption, and rebellion, one man stands out—not because he was sinless, but because he found grace . Through Noah’s story, God gives us

The Flood: When the World That Was Perished
The story of Noah’s flood is one of the most well-known accounts in all of Scripture. Four of the first eleven chapters of Genesis are devoted to this single event—more space than is given to the creation week itself. Next to creation, the flood of Noah’s day is the most significant single event in earth’s history . And yet, it is also one of the most attacked. Modern skeptics, driven by evolutionary thinking, dismiss the flood as myth because it conflicts with their claim th

How Sin Changed the World
“And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.” —Genesis 1:31 In the beginning, God looked at His finished creation and declared it very good. No crime. No disease. No storms. No death. The ground yielded food without toil. Animals lived in harmony with man. Most importantly, humanity walked in close fellowship with the Creator. That world no longer exists. Scripture tells us exactly what changed it: “By one man sin entered into the world, and deat

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made (Part 2): The Value of Human Life in a Culture That Has Forgotten God
David’s words in Psalm 139 offer one of the most beautiful and intimate pictures in Scripture: “Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb… I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”—Psalm 139:13–14 In Part 1 , we explored God’s craftsmanship in the womb and His intentional design of every human being. In Part 2 , we turn to a tragic reality: not everyone sees life this way. How has our culture drifted so far from the biblical view of human worth? Why do millions treat the unborn as

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made: Rediscovering God’s Design for Human Life
Few questions weigh more heavily on the human heart than this: Where did we come from? Are we the result of a cosmic accident—an unintended outcome of random processes? Or are we the intentional creation of a loving God? David knew the answer. Writing under inspiration, he declared: “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”—Psalm 139:14 The psalmist pulls back the curtain on the miracle of human life—a truth modern science is only beginning to glimpse.

From Eden to Calvary: How the First Promise Leads to the Final Victory
When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the consequences were devastating. Paradise was lost. Suffering entered the world. Death became a tragic reality. Yet even in that moment of judgment, God spoke a promise that would echo through all of Scripture—a promise that would lead humanity from Eden… to Calvary. In Genesis 3:14–19, God pronounced judgment on the serpent, the woman, and the man. But embedded in His words was the first prophecy of a Redeemer—the One who wou

Lessons from Eden: Timeless Truths from Humanity’s First Home
When the apostle Paul wrote, “Now all these things happened unto them for examples…” (1 Cor. 10:11), he reminded us that the Old Testament was written not only as history, but as instruction. Though we live under the New Covenant today, the stories preserved in Genesis still carry wisdom for every generation. One of the most significant of these is the account of Adam and Eve. Eden is more than an ancient garden—it is a classroom where God teaches us about sin, influence, ho

The Eden Experience: What Really Happened in the Garden—And What It Means for Us Today
Few biblical events shape our understanding of humanity, sin, morality, and salvation more than the account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. What took place in Eden is not a distant, symbolic tale—it is the blueprint for the human story. Every major doctrine intersects with what happened in those early moments of creation. This post explores The Eden Experience —what Adam and Eve experienced, how sin entered the world, and how their story mirrors our own. Created in the

Made in the Image of God
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...” — Genesis 1:26–27 The Crown of Creation On the sixth day, after forming every creature by His word, God paused. A divine conversation took place within the Godhead—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit deliberated over a creation unlike any other. The heavens declare God’s glory, and the earth shows His handiwork, but mankind alone bears His image. Humanity was not spoken into existence with the rest of creation;

The Day Man Saw Dinosaurs
Romans 12:1–2 — “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.” A Biblical Worldview in a Secular World Christians are called to see the world differently — to let our minds be renewed and tra

The True Descent of Man
Genesis 5:1–3 — “This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.” A Tale of Two Origins In 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species , laying out his theory that

The Origin and Mission of Satan — Understanding Our Greatest Adversary
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth… for he is a liar, and the father of it.” — John 8:44 The Reality of the Adversary The Devil is not a myth, a metaphor, or a mere figure of speech. He is real, personal, and powerful. Jesus Himself declared that Satan was “a murderer from the beginning,” utterly devoid of truth. Yet, despite the clarity of Scripture, the world increasing

Creation and the Age of the Earth — Trusting the Word Over the World

Whose word will we believe: God’s or man’s? The Bible clearly teaches that God created the heavens and the earth “in the beginning.” Yet everywhere we turn, we’re told the Earth is billions of years old. Th

A Biblical Worldview — Seeing the World Through God’s Eyes
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 2:5 The Lens That Shapes Everything Every person has a worldview—a way of interpreting life, truth, and reality. It’s the foundation beneath every choice we make, every opinion we form, and every belief we hold. For Christians, the question is simple yet profound: Is our worldview biblical or secular? Jesus said, “He that is not with me is against me” (Matthew 12:30). There is no neutral ground. Our v

It’s hard to believe that no matter what a person has done, God is willing to forgive. Some people struggle with this, not because they doubt God’s power, but because they cannot
