Genesis 9 doesn't give us all the details, but it does give enough information to give us some idea of what happened. First, even though it says Ham saw his father's nakedness, Noah didn't curse Ham. He cursed Ham's son Canaan instead. Why is that? I think the key is in the word "youngest" in...

And don't forget those calls for the churches in Revelation to repent (Revelation 2:5,2:16,2:21-22,3:3,3:19). To say that we're under grace and have no need to repent is to misunderstand both grace and repentance.

A relationship with God should be the norm for believers. If we are Jesus' sheep, we will hear His voice (John 10:27). If someone loves Jesus and keeps His word, He and His Father will come to him and live with him (John 14:23). The Holy Spirit teaches us and brings to mind what Jesus said...

The Bible uses the words communion and fellowship, which are other words for relationship.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. - 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 (ESV) The way a runner runs depends...

In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. - 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (VW) Here’s a thought that can either be very uncomfortable or very comfortable, depending on the strength of my faith: When bad things replace good things in my life, I still have just as...

God freely forgives the repentant sinner. And He does so without making Himself less righteous, holy, and just, because Jesus Christ paid the full penalty for our sin. God did not ignore our sin when He forgave us. If that were the case, He could just as easily bring our guilt back upon us. No...

And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. - Luke 5:20 (VW) A miracle is something that cannot happen through natural means. A true miracle can only happen if God intervenes in the natural course of things to bring it about. Man cannot bring dead people back to life –...

I looked up 'beasts' and this is as close as it comes to what you're looking for, but no mention of Adam or Eve: I said in my heart, It is thus with the children of men, that God may prove them, and that they should see that they themselves are but beasts. For what befalleth the children of men...

I just published a book last month called How to Gain Victory Over Sin: Knowing the Sanctification of the Holy Spirit. It is based on Romans 6 through 8. The printed version is available through Amazon.com (and elsewhere). The e-book version is free through Google Play and Smashwords. The...

There's a series of radio stations in England run by United Christian Broadcasters, one of which broadcasts audio Bibles 24 hours a day. The version used is NIV by various readers, or Alexander Scourby's KJV. You can listen online through the web (http://www.ucb.co.uk/) or use the UCB app on...

These are some of my favorite Christian biographies, most of which I've read multiple times: Memoir & Remains of Robert Murray McCheyne A Chance To Die (about Amy Carmichael) Bruchko (about Bruce Olsen) C.T. Studd Daktar (and Daktar II) Evidence Not Seen Grace Abounding To The Chief Of Sinners...

Lately I've been reading some of the 'classics'. Right now I'm in A Tale of Two Cities, and various African-American slave narratives.

I'm partial to literal translations, of which some good free modern English versions are the ESV, WEB, and VW. Most people are familiar with the ESV. The WEB (World English Bible) is in the public domain, so you can quote it as much as you want in published works without having to worry about...

Personally, I believe the earthly ark will not be found, in spite of the rumors of its existence. Jeremiah 3:16 says "And it shall come to pass, when you have multiplied and increased in the land in those days, says Jehovah, that they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Jehovah! Nor...

Hi, my name is Andrew Bernhardt, and I've trusted in Jesus for most of my life (since the 1960's). I live in Beatty, Nevada, a small desert town of 1000 people just east of Death Valley, where I'm part of a small community church. I am on some other Christian forums, sometimes under the name...
