Why study the book of Genesis? It is the book of beginnings: creation, man, women, sabbath, marriage, home, childhood, sin, murder,sacrifice, grace, trade, agriculture, city life, languages, ect. Genesis anticipates all false philosophies: atheism, pantheism, polytheism, materialism, humanism, evolution, and uniformism. All major doctrines have their roots in Genesis: sovereign election, salvation, justification by faith, believer's security, separation, disciplinary chastisement, divine incarnation, resurrection, priesthoods, and covenants.

A TIMELY STUDY:: The Betrayal of the Chosen
Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
Psalm 121:4
On May 14, 1948, Israel declared its independence and was immediately at war with its Arab neighbors. Today Israel’s enemies are once again preparing for war and, again, the goal is Israel’s complete annihilation. In the 60 years that have passed since the creation of the modern state of Israel, this tiny nation has fought for its survival against all odds. It has survived several major wars and decades of violence.
However, it is important to remember that the Jew’s history in the Promised Land actually dates back more than 3,000 years. It is not only important, it is imperative because in Israel the past, present, and future are inextricably linked. It could be argued that in no other place on the planet does history play a more central role than in this war-torn region.
NAN'S CORNER: Reflections of His Image Personal Cleansing Steps: Part 2
King's High Way Monthly Article
Over the last two months, we have been exploring the practical application of how we “put off” the flesh and “put on” Christ. The Scripture that explains this cleansing process is Ephesians 4:22-24, 31, which instructs us to “put off the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Again, what does this really mean?
It means we must acknowledge, confess and repent of our sin and self, change our mind about following what they are telling us to do and then, ask the Spirit of God to permeate the situation. This inner cleansing is essential. It’s the “key” to our Christian walk. Without this sanctification (cleansing), God’s Life in us will be quenched in our hearts and unable to come forth.
Remember Psalm 24:3-4: “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place? He who hath clean hands, and a pure heart, who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.”
Most reasonably informed Christians are well aware that many of the traditions that surround the Christmas holidays have pagan origins and very little correlation with the actual events as recorded in the Bible. However, most of us are surprised when we discover that some of what we have been taught about �Easter� is not only in error, but deliberately so!
Isaiah was the most comprehensive of all prophets: his writing spans the entirety of history, from the creation of the world to the creation of 'a new heavens and new earth.' Explore this majestic and eloquent book with Bible teacher Chuck Missler
