After years of wandering, the sinful generation (except for Joshua and Caleb) had died out, Moses had passed the torch of leadership The Bible has five “poetry” books: Job (yup, Job is considered poetry, as well as wisdom literature), Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon (which is one of the most explicit love poems ever written!). Poetry is just one of the forms of literature in the Bible. There is a flow-chart in the Joshua, Part 2 blog that shows some of

So, if you’ve been reading for a while, you might have seen the first issue with this definition. In a previous post, we discussed Newton’s laws of thermodynamics. Entropy is the term for the gradual break down of all things. Everything trends toward destruction and chaos. Why would evolution be the only process that trends toward complexity and betterment? There is nothing else in creation that works that way.

The Macedonian peoples were strongly impacted by the invasion of Greek-speaking people, who brought their culture and their metalworking talents. Their pottery and jewelry became a mixture of Macedonia and Greek influences, while the introduction of copper and

Last time, we discussed the science that the secular world believes; evolution, the Big Bang and the 14-billion-year timeline. You might be wondering, “Adam, if the world is not 14 billion years old, how old is it?”

Today we will meet Joshua the person, but first take a short trip into Canaan, the land into which Joshua would lead God’s people.

It’s time to change gears in our thinking as we shift from the Old Testament and Deuteronomy, to the New Testament and 1 Corinthians. Moses was given a great gift by God- he was brought up onto Mt. Nebo, where God supernaturally showed him all of the Promised Land (which could not normally be seen in its entirety from the mountain) before he died. Their last moments together were a private time between Moses and the Lord, and God or His angels buried Moses in Moab; no human t

Deuteronomy is the last of the first five books of the Old Testament, known as the Pentateuch or Five Books of the Law. Greek and Latin tradition call it the “second law,” but it is not secondary in importance. It is a treaty of renewal to the Israelite people as they stand poised on the threshold of the Promised Land. Rather than focusing on ritual and law, Moses places emphasis on the first and second commandments, which would one day become the basis for Jesus’ preaching.
