Send us Fan Mail This chapter contains the most critical portion of scripture pertaining to all biblical prophecy. In order to understand all biblical prophecy, this chapter must be understood. Yet before we get to this amazing prophecy, we must first start with prayer. But before we get to prayer we must start with the word of God. It is important that we never forget, every work of God begins wi...

Send us Fan Mail The faith of Abraham must once again be tested. God commanded Abraham to offer his son Issaac as a burnt offering. This command came without explanation. It is a severe test beyond description. As our faith grows, so to must the severity of the test. Now in this we have a beautiful picture of the gospel. We see Abraham the father offering up his only son as a sacrifice. The detail...

Send us Fan Mail Daniel has another amazing vision. Again, he is not able to understand this vision. An angel must interpret the vision for him. The vision gives a stunningly accurate account of the Medes and Persians, the Greeks, Alexander the Great, Antiochus IV and the Antichrist who is yet to rise up in the near future. So accurate are the details, the critics attack it vigorously. However, th...

Send us Fan Mail Abraham obediently sends Hagar and Ishmael away. This was a difficult command for Abraham to obey, yet he arose early and obeyed. The difficulty of the command must never affect our prompt obedience to that command. To obey is always better than sacrifice. It did not take long for the resources of Hagar and Ishmael to run out. Their situation was dire. In this moment of crisis, Ha...

Send us Fan Mail Isaac is born to Abraham and Sarah. Jus as God had spoken, Isaac was miraculously born to this couple that was decades beyond the age of having children.

God has begun a great work in Abraham and God will bring that...

Send us Fan Mail Here we look at the familiar account of Daniel and the lion's den. While it is familiar, it is filled with much that we can still learn from. Daniel was a righteous man. He was a man in whom was an excellent spirit. Accusation concerning his integrity was impossible. Instead, his enemies created a law that would prevent him from worshipping the LORD. In this, they knew that D...

Send us Fan Mail In this study we have our last look at Lot in the Old Testament. Lot is a sad case. Here was a man who had every reason to live a godly life, yet his love for the world prevented him from loving God. His backsliding, compromising ways robbed him of any testimony he may have had for the LORD. Lot's life quite frankly was a wasted life that produced ill fruit. We have a choice...

Send us Fan Mail Due to unexpected circumstances, I was not able to record the Genesis or Daniel study this week. So instead, we are presenting a message that I have given on several other occasions that I think is appropriate for the days we are living in. I believe that God in His sovereignty has allowed for this message to go forth. The purpose of this message is to challenge us to live fully f...

In this, we also learn an important biblical principle. God will...

Daniel reads and interpret the writing that came from the hand of God. The message is s...

Send us Fan Mail We now see a focus on Sarah and the faith she will need to conceive seed and bear a child. Years earlier, Sarah recognized that God withheld her from having a child when it was possible. Now she needs to believe that God could allow her to have a child when it was totally impossible.

Send us Fan Mail It has been 13 years since the birth of Ishmael. During this time, Abram has not heard from God. It is during these 13 years of silence that God is preparing Abram to become a great man of faith. May we all be encouraged by those silent seasons.

Not only did Nebuchadnezzar learn that God rules int he kingdom of men, but he also learned that God is able put down all those who walk in pride. While thi...

Send us Fan Mail Once again, we see the faith of Abraham being tested. The temptation is to accomplish the will of God according to the acceptable ways of the world. The intention was well meaning, however, good motives often become the enemy to the cause of Christ. We must remember what has been said by others, "God's work must be done God's way". While God's promises are...
