About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"DO YOU HAVE FUN STUDYING GOD'S WORD?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
DO YOU HAVE FUN STUDYING GOD'S WORD?
I HAVE ASKED BEFORE IF YOU REALLY STUDIED GOD'S WORD AND THIS MORNING I WANT TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH FUN IT IS AND IT REALLY IS INTERESTING. I KNOW IT HAS GREAT PROMISES FOR ALL OF US AND TELLS US HOW TO LIVE, BUT I NOW AM TALKING ABOUT FINDING OUT INTERESTING THINGS THAT I DIDN'T REALIZE BEFORE OR EVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT.
IN THE PAST, I HAVE GONE THROUGH THE GENEALOGIES IN THE BIBLE AND HAVE TRACED JESUS' LINE ALL THE WAY BACK TO ADAM. I MADE A CHART STARTING WITH ADAM AND PUTTING DOWN HIS AGE AND HOW OLD HE WAS WHEN HE HAD SETH. I DID THE SAME ALL THE WAY DOWN TO NOAH AND THE FLOOD. WHAT WAS INTERESTING WAS THAT WHEN THE FLOOD HAPPENED, METHUSELAH AND LEMECH, NOAH'S FATHER AND GRAND FATHER, HAD DIED ONLY ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE. THAT MEANT THAT THEY WERE BOTH ALIVE WHEN NOAH STARTED BUILDING THE ARK.
IT IS THOUGHT THAT IT TOOK HIM FROM 80 TO 100 YEARS TO BUILD IT BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT NOAH WAS 500 YEARS OLD WHEN HE HAD HIS THREE SONS. WELL, SINCE THE FLOOD CAME WHEN HE WAS 600 YEARS OLD AND THE BOYS HELPED HIM, THEY ALSO WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE TIME TO GROW UP AND GET MARRIED BEFORE THE FLOOD.
I ALSO REALIZED THAT ENOCH, THE ONE WHOM GOD TOOK AND WAS NOAH'S GREAT, GREAT GRAND FATHER, METHUSELAH, NOAH'S GRAND FATHER, AND LEMECH, NOAH'S FATHER COULD HAVE KNOWN ADAM BECAUSE ADAM DIED AFTER THEY WERE BORN. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR THEY LIVED FROM EACH OTHER BUT IF THEY LIVED CLOSE, ADAM COULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE HIS GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRAND KIDS. HOW GREAT WOULD THAT BE. AND, HOW GREAT WOULD IT HAVE BEEN FOR THE GRANDKIDS TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND TALK WITH ADAM. WHAT STORIES HE WOULD HAVE HAD LIKE HOW GOD WOULD WALK AND TALK WITH HIM IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
ANYWAY, I HAD FUN FINDING OUT ALL THIS AND I HOPE I DIDN'T BORE YOU WITH IT ALL. STUDYING THE BIBLE IS FUN AND IF YOU WOULD JUST GET IN IT AND REALLY SEARCH THINGS OUT, I THINK YOU WOULD ENJOY IT TOO. IT ALSO IS HOW GOD TALKS TO US AND WE ALL NEED A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
