male and female

Genesis 7:7-10
"7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth."

Our world was ruled by VIOLENCE and CORRUPTION. A world like that is very dangerous and scary. Fear and loathing rules the hearts of people. No one can be trusted. The weak and vulnerable are preyed upon. The wicked and ruthless thrive. It's the kind of place we might describe as dystopian; extremely bad, characterized by deprivation, oppression, and terror. The world was such a VERY bad place that God was "GRIEVED" that He had made man! 

In today's verses we read about the GREAT FLOOD waters rising up to wipe clean the wickedness that was everywhere. "...the waters of the flood were upon the earth." Noah was a just man and his family had FAITH and HOPE! They ALL had to FOLLOW GOD'S instructions on building the Ark and rescuing the animals! GOD said "THOU SHALT" and they did. They loaded the ark; "There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the MALE and the FEMALE, as God had COMMANDED Noah." It rained for forty days and forty nights! The flood waters rose floating the Ark. Starting their high seas journey that would last for a full year! If Noah, his wife, their sons and their wives did not follow GOD'S instructions, or "commands," there would be no life on earth after the Great Flood!!! GOD really loves them and saves them from the wickedness of the world and the dangerous flood waters!

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

Acts 2:7&8 "7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Holy Ghost is the only way this happens. They were very surprised to be hundreds and, some cases, thousands of miles from "home" and hearing their language spoken! It was astonishing! Appreciate that these devout Jewish people whose families had been carried away from Israel generations before. Taken in captivity by armies that invaded and conquered Israel. (A little like Joseph was taken captive to Egypt. All by God's plan to save the Israelites during a time of famine.) Over the years, these Jewish "captives" would adopt the language and some of the customs of their captors. However, they remained Jewish. By the time of the events recorded in the book of Acts, they made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast of Weeks. They just happe...
