Economics – Poverty (Part 3)
What does the Bible say about alleviating the poverty of family members? Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.Genesis 2:24 In Scripture the man was responsible for his wife and children. The man was responsible for taking care of all those who bore his name. This is where we get the idea of the man’s last name being passed on to the wife and children.…
Economics – Saving
If we are to be a generous people, is there any place for saving money? And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do. The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one. And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind…
The Lies of the Snake (Genesis 3:1-6)
Being a woman is a good thing God created woman before the fall. As such, being a woman is not a curse, but it is a part of God’s good design. Men and women were created distinctly and differently by God. This distinction between the genders is a good thing. Is it a God-glorifying thing to be a woman. God’s commands are for our good All Eve had ever known was good. She had never experienced pain, suffering, evil, or…
Human Government – The Origin of Government (Part 2)
Where did the idea of human government originate? What is the biblical understanding of government? And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.Genesis 9:5-6 At creation, God did not create…
Human Government – The Origin of Law (Part 1)
We now turn our study towards human government. Before we can begin to study what the Bible says about human government, we must first have a right understanding of law. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.Genesis 2:16-17 There is one…
The Family – Children (Part 5)
Part of discipleship is discipline. How are we to discipline our children? There are two types of discipline, one is formative, the other is corrective. One seeks to instruct the child in the direction they should go and form their character, the other seeks to correct the child and restore the child to the correct path. We will begin with formative discipline. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But…
The Family – Children (Part 3)
How are parents to steward their children? And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14 The reason…
The Family – Children (Part 1)
As we continue to look at the family, we now turn our attention to children. First, we want to see the theological significance of children. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,…
The Family – Marriage (Part 7)
We now look at the role of wives. Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Proverbs 14:1 Women have tremendous power in their marriages. They can produce great marriages, or they can destroy their marriage. The interesting point to me of Proverbs 14:1 is that the woman can do this entirely by herself. She does not need any help to build or destroy her home. And Adam gave names to all cattle,…
The Family – Marriage (Part 3)
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Acts 20:28 In the covenant of grace, Jesus bride must be redeemed or purchased. His bride is part of the family of Adam and in order to bring us into His family, we must be redeemed, born again, and purchased. The price that Jesus paid is…
The Family – Marriage (Part 2)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace,…
