When is the Day of Rest?
I don’t think I have that much to say about every chapter in the Bible. Should I, I estimate it will take me about 769 years to get through the whole book.
It won’t.
Chapter 2.
The heavens and the earth were completed.
God rested on the seventh day.
He sanctified the seventh day.
The day [...]

I didn’t think it would take me this long to get through just one chapter of the Good Book.
But, here it is, two weeks into the beginning of the new year and I am still in chapter one of Genesis. Today the last verse - 1:31. Tomorrow, too, I think. Then on to chapter two.
I [...]

I read a survey once when I was in Japan that revealed that Japanese gave more value to their pets than to their neighbors or friends.
I couldn’t believe it.
My son had a dog he loved so I decided to ask him. (We were living in Japan at the time.)
“If your dog and your friend were [...]

Male and female He created them.
I may be way off here considering some of the teachings in the New Testament but…
God created man. God created him: male and female He created them.
Them - is that male and female plural?
Or is that sets of ‘them’ that He created?
Is the story that follows [...]

I am not afraid to admit that I don’t know all the answers to Bible questions. I am not afraid to admit that even specialized Bible scholars do NOT know all the answers.
Mark Twain once said something to the effect, “It’s not the things in the Bible that I do not understand that bother [...]

The Creator made man in His own image, in the image of God.
He created him, male and female.
The question - who is like whom?
Is mankind like the Creator or the Creator like mankind?
Too often we little people want to create a god who is like us, suitable to us, one we [...]

Wisdom from the Good Book - More than One God?
There was more than one creating agent at the beginning.
Gen 1:26 - Let Us create man in Our image according to Our likeness. (italics are mine.) I am also quoting from the New American Standard version, too, for what it’s worth.
Inquiring minds want [...]

I’m pretty sure I am not going to make any friends with what I think about the answer to this question.
For such a small group that I worship with, we have a LOT of scientists, some physicists, engineers, enough PhDs to supply a whole Bible Belt church.
Still, when asked how lone a day [...]

It doesn’t take long into the Good Book, the second verse to be exact, to learn that there are at least two manifestations of the Creator God.
It is the Spirit of God that does the moving about over the surface of the waters while the Creator God does the speaking, the commanding, “Let there [...]

I am working my way through the Good Book to share wisdom I have learned and how it affects my world view, and after three days, I am still stuck on Genesis 1:1.
I’ll move on. I definitely don’t have that much to say about or think on for every verse of the Bible.
Yesterday, [...]

A certain professor gave his students a lesson in how to be creative.
He asked the class to take a stab at creating an animal.
After some deliberation the class came up with an animal:
1. it had the feet of an elephant,
2. the speed of a jaguar,
3. the agility of a monkey [...]

Not all wisdom needs to be gained the hard way. That is, we don’t always have to learn what NOT to do. But, that does seem to be the most effective way.
At one of my other sites, I am writing a series - Lessons from the Good Book.
It seemed to me fitting to post, repost, [...]
