An Overview of the Bible
If you want to learn architecture, you must first learn how buildings are put together. If you want to learn sailing, you must first learn how ships are put together. And if you want to understand the Bible, you must first learn how the Bible is put together. — Max Anders WELCOME Welcome to 30… The post An Overview of the Bible appeared first on FaithGateway.

The Gift of Sabbath: I Am Not a Machine
In Genesis 2, at the end of the creation story, we read, Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work.

Attack-Proof
He said, “You may want to invest in some snake boots.” Snake boots? Who’s heard of such a thing? I certainly hadn’t. I had no idea snake-proof boots even existed. But, apparently, in this part of the country you don’t want to go near water without them. You just might find a Copperhead attached to your ankle. The whole way to our trip location, all I could think about was — these snake boots… We’ve got to be safe… Finally, we pulled off the highway to head into an outdoor store. Handling the boot, I noted — it was heavy. The material was tough and strong, thick and heavy. So much so,…

Considering All That’s Going on…
2So much is raging. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you. CoronaVirus and racial tensions are high. You’ve likely seen or heard the stories of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd. My heart breaks. Like me, you may be asking, how do I deal with all this? How do I stay near God and not fear? How do I act justly in the face of things I cannot control? “And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Mi. 6:8) Love mercy. Act justly. Walk humbly. “Love never fails.” (1 Cor. 13:8). When the outward position of…
