Flood

By RANDY WHITE, D.Min. Founder and CEO (Read Part 6) We have been walking through the Genesis account leading up to the flood, and have come in our study to Genesis 8. As we begin, let me ask you this question: Do you ever feel forgotten? Have you ever felt like God had forgotten you? When we come to this point in the text—as far as we know—Noah had not heard from God for nearly a year during the events of the flood, since [...]

By RANDY WHITE, D.Min. Founder and CEO (Read Part 5) Noah had more than 100 years of experience in obedience by the time he went in the ark with his family and the animals that God had instructed him to take in order to keep all the kinds that He had created alive during the flood year. These were difficult things to do, as we have seen, yet Noah was faithful to do them. What an example he is for us who may [...]

By RANDY WHITE, D.Min. Founder and CEO (Read Part 4) Having considered the reasons for the flood, we now turn our attention to the man Noah and the obedience to God's instructions that he practiced in the days before the flood. And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of [...]

By RANDY WHITE, D.Min. Founder and CEO (Read Part 3) We ended our last discussion by introducing a bold notion regarding the flood of Noah's day—namely, that destroying work of God actually turned out to be the saving work of God. We continue in our study today by looking first at Genesis 6:15, which gives us the dimensions that God provided for Noah to use in building the ark: And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the [...]

By RANDY WHITE, D.Min. Founder and CEO (Read Part 2) We thought previously in this series about the family tree of Noah. We considered his great-grandfather Enoch, grandfather Methuselah, father Lamech and then Noah himself. Think about this: For Noah to learn about the past, all that he had to do was talk to his grandfather Methuselah, who lived 969 years (Gen. 5:27) and knew Adam personally. In fact, the lives of these two men (Adam and Methuselah) spanned all of history [...]

By RANDY WHITE, D.Min. Founder and CEO (Read Part 1) In Genesis 6:3, God is giving mankind one final warning. There is a long period of warning—120 years—but, nevertheless, it is final. What is it that has brought on this situation? It is, of course, described in Genesis 6:1-2: And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were [...]
