Critics of the Old Testament will often point to the ‘genocide’ (as they see it) that God apparently condones. Chapter 36 of Genesis serves as a reminder that God’s blessings come, not from embracing and intermarrying with the world and its systems, but by remaining separate from them! Unlike his brother Jacob, Esau didn’t see […]
This Sunday (14th May) we continue our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Genesis – looking at Genesis 10 & 11. These are two chapters that the critics love to dismiss as fiction or just simply Hebrew poetry. In fact, even one prominent Christian evangelist told me this was just ‘Hebrew poetry penned in Babylon’! He’d no […]
Acts 14:17 tells us that God has not leftHimself without a witness. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that when we come to a passage like Genesis 5, one that has been heavily attacked and ridiculed by critics of the Bible, we find it vindicated by both the witness of archaeology, and by incredible deliberate […]
In Chapter 2 of Genesis, we see God sanctify the Sabbath, i.e. set it apart. Why was God so insistent on Israel keeping the Sabbath? In Numbers 15:32-36 we have the account of an individual who was put to death for simply gathering sticks on the Sabbath! Now, there is not a person on this planet […]

We live in a world where ‘science’ has proven that God does not exist and the Bible is nothing more than ancient folklore – right? Well, actually no. True science and the Bible will never be in disagreement because they both have the same author! It is, therefore, fascinating when we come to the opening […]
Ever since God created the Earth there has been an intense battle for it. Satan presumed God was creating it for him: “To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?” (Esther 6:6); but then God gave it to man! (Genesis 1:28-30) Using deception and cunning Satan then usurped man and claimed […]
As we continue our verse-by-verse study in the book of Genesis, we now move into verse 1 and make some surprising discoveries! These blogs over the coming weeks accompany the teaching sessions (which can be found in the ‘Teaching & Audio > Sunday Morning Studies’ section of this web-site. I hope and pray that (if […]
