The Seed of the Woman

And I will put hatred between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. Genesis 3:15 God didn’t make people wait thousands of years before sharing His plans with them. He started telling us things that matter Read more…

Sin is Like an Infection

God doesn’t tell us not to sin because He’s mean. God loves us and knows how miserable we are when we choose sin. You probably already know what happens to friends when one lies about the other. So, God told us not to do it (Exodus 20:16). All of God’s Read more…

The Resurrection

Wooded path north of Madgeland FarmI didn’t have a chance to write this up before the weekend, so this is a day late.  But who cares, it’s still Easter in Germany (they make it a two-day holiday) and I’m going to keep celebrating the Risen Savior for the rest of eternity!!

This topic was a little harder to connect Jesus into Genesis, since Jesus was the first one ever to stay alive forever after death.  God helped me remember a few things, so here goes!
