December 2 | Psalm 37:21-22 “The wicked person borrows and doesn’t repay, but the righteous person is gracious and gives, for those blessed by him take possession of the land, but those cursed by him will be cut off.” (Psalm 37:21–22) With every choice you make and action you take…
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…
In this issue, we want to look at Abraham’s God-given prosperity and how it differs from our last issue where I described Abraham’s manufactured prosperity. This will be a completely different story than the last. Abraham and Lot experience such prosperity that they cannot handle it. They get too big…

We have been studying Genesis 1-11 for a long time now. We are coming to the conclusion of this part of our study with the genealogies of Shem and Terah. These genealogies have one goal: to introduce the rest of Genesis and the story of Abraham and the patriarchs. In…
We come to the Tower of Babel and discover the hubris of humanity and God’s dividing up and separating the peoples of the earth. In my last issue, I described how some scholars think this section of Genesis should have come before the genealogies and geographies of Genesis 10. There…
Some scholars call this chapter the table of nations because you can see how the nations come about through Noah’s sons’ descendants. In my last issue, I talked about Noah’s drunkenness and Ham’s sin. We will see how that affects Genesis 10. As we talk about Genesis 10, there’s a…
