In Volume 4 Issue 4, I wanted to take a break to talk about Lot and how his story impacts our lives. He was a lot of trouble to Abraham and we will see in this issue why that is. Lot was Abraham’s nephew. His father passed away before Abraham…
In this issue, we see Abraham as the man God blesses when he is a man of war, a generous person, and an intercessor for his nephew Lot. Every Christian man can learn from his example and become more like him. In the last issue, I showed you how Abraham…
You could consider this part one of two. We will see Abraham's manufactured prosperity in Egypt in this issue, and in the next issue, you will see God-given prosperity. In my last issue, I opened up our character study on Abraham by talking about why he is considered the father…
I am beginning a new volume about Abraham, and in this issue, talking about Abraham the father of faith. In this volume, we will discover the life lessons we can take away from Abraham’s life. I’m excited to embark on this adventure with you! You hear people calling Abraham the…

If I own a business, should I tithe off the business or off my income from the business? The short answer is that you tithe off of your income. I’ve always said that you can’t give what you don’t have. While you may own your business, all of the money…
Why did God change people’s names in the Bible? Beginning with Abraham, Sarah, and Jacob, and going into the New Testament when Jesus changes Simon’s name to Peter, God has been changing people’s names throughout Scripture. But to many people this is a strange thing. God changes people’s names for…
Was Moses talking to Jesus on Mount Sinai? Who was at the burning bush? The most obvious answer to these questions is that Moses was talking to God. But I want to be more specific and say he was talking to the Trinity. All three members of the Trinity would…
In Exodus 33, how can Moses speak with God face-to-face and then only look at his back when he passes by Moses in Exodus 34? “Face-to-face” is translated literally in Exodus 33:11. Very few Hebrew idioms are translated exactly because they would make no sense in English. But most translations…
