The Bible Gateway website recently added Warren Wiersbe’s BE Bible Study Series commentary series to its free commentaries. I’ve always appreciated his easy to understand and apply commentaries and was very excited to see this available online.
As I started reading his commentary on Genesis, he begins it in such an interesting way, I just had to share part of it with you.
One important thing to remember as you read this is that God did not create the world ,was then surprised at man’s sin, and scrambled to come up with a solution. The solution was decided before creation.
Though that is a difficult concept to wrap our minds around, it should give us confidence in the sovereign eternal control of our loving God. There is no problem in life or eternity with God does not have a solution for. Our challenge is to trust him in time.
Following is the excerpt, go to for the rest of the commentary: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201&version=NIVContinue Reading
Last week we started our study of the Trinity and we could see from the Bible passages that God the Father is God, God the Son is God, and God the Holy Spirit is God. All of them in the Bible are described with the attributes of God. This week the lesson looks at what it means that each one is a Person. We also briefly look at the false Mormon interpretation of the Holy Spirit (who they describe as different from the Holy Ghost).
In a recent television interview, Pastor Rick Warren was asked his opinion about the Mormon Church and he graciously replied that he had a problem with their view of the Trinity, that it was not the Biblical view. I appreciated that because it cut to the core of the difference between the Mormon Church and the Biblical Christian Church–what God do we believe in?
