Did God created light on the Earth on the 1st day

The Bible says that God created light on the Earth on the 1st day  (Gen 1:3), but the sun was not created until the 4th day (Gen 1:14-19). How was there light on Earth without the sun?                  Since the Bible does not really explain exactly what the  "light" was in (Gen 1:3), we are left to conjecture. So, let me conjecture .  Because (Gen 1:14-19) makes it clear that the sun (and moon) was not created until  the 4th day, it seems obvious to me that something else created the light.    This seems to be verified by the fact that the Hebrew word "owr" is used to describe  the "light" in (Gen 1:3-5), while the Hebrew word "maowr" (primarily used to  describe a luminous "body") is used to describe the greater or lesser "light" or  two great "lights" of (Gen 1:14-19).    It is my belief that the "light" of (Gen 1:3-5) was God Himself. The Bible says  in Rev...

Study on Prayer

Prayer has been called the lifeline for the Christian. It is our way of communicating with God. God has given us His Word so that we can see what He wants to communicate with us. Prayer is given so that we can have a relationship with Him. The word prayer means to ask, request and even beg. And God invites us to do it. How refreshing. Don’t feel ashamed to go to God and ask Him for what you need (Matthew 7:7, 8). He wants to supply our needs but He wants us to trust in Him for it. If we spend our time asking friends, family and the government to supply our needs and never ask God, then we are not engaged in prayer the way we should be. God has plenty and will take care of His children, but not if they never look to Him for that supply (Matthew 6:25-34). Matthew 6:25-34 King James Version (KJV) 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more tha...

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons :

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons : In his opening address he said, "We can't keep Christians from going to church." "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth...." "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with Their SAVIOR." "Once they gain that connection with JESUS, our power over them is Broken." "So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship With JESUS CHRIST.." "This is what I want you to do," said the devil: "Distract them from gaining hold of their SAVIOR and maintaining that Vital connection throughout their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted. "Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable Schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.... "...

Hands!

Hands!  ! A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.  A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million.  It depends whose hands it's in.  A baseball in my hands is worth about $6.  A baseball in Roger Clemens' hands is worth $475 million.  It depends on whose hands it's in.  A tennis racket is useless in my hands.  A tennis racket in Andre Agassi's hands is worth millions.  It depends whose hands it's in.  A rod in my hands will keep away an angry dog. A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea.  It depends whose hands it's in.  A slingshot in my hands is a kid's toy.  A slingshot in David's hand is a mighty weapon. It depends whose hands it's in.  Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.  Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in Jesus' hands will feed thousands.  It depends whose hands it's in.  Nails in my hands might produ...

God’s Will is the Best Possible Plan.

God’s Will is the Best Possible Plan.  Ephesians 1:1-20; Colossians 2:2-10 A . The Plan: We can do many things without God (acquire wealth…start a business…get an education…etc.), but only in God’s will can we find true joy, fulfillment, faithfulness…and expect someday to hear from Him… “Well done, good and faithful servant.” That wonderful plan God has already designed for your life and mine contains the very best of Purpose, Adventure, Fulfillment, Joy, and new lessons.

Dinosaurs and the Bible

Most of us loved reading about dinosaurs at some time in our lives. In 1993, the movie “Jurassic Park” stimulated the public interest in dinosaurs far beyond its previous level. As a result, increasing numbers of people have thought, “Since we have found all these fossils and dinosaur bones, we know dinosaurs existed. How come they are not mentioned in the Bible?” Actually, dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible, and we will prove it by doing the following three things:  Examining the Bible’s text and the related scientific facts.  Explaining the accuracy of the Bible.  Exploring what we are taught in school and through the media. The Bible’s Text The Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew...
