These will be free-form, and without much structure,
discipline, or design to be didactic (teaching). I’m just trying to
capture my thoughts and do what a real journal is supposed to do.
Genesis 1
- It all started with God.
- Heavy late bombardment? LOL! God was intimately there.
- Evening and then morning?That’s not our normal understanding of a day. Night-time is a mystery – is creation a mystery?
- God speaks, it happens, God pronounces evaluation of the product.
- Things made according to their kinds. What’s a “kind”?
- God made mankind in His image – both male and female share equally in this image.
- Wow – God seemed to give the whole earth to mankind!
1 Chronicles 1
- God seems to care about family lineages, and communicating how they are related.
- Lots of names I recognize, many I do not.
- We see Abraham mentioned.
John 1:1-18
- Jesus, the Word, has been since before all, because all things which came into existence (everything except God) came into existence by Him.
- John the forerunner (baptizer) came to testify about Jesus coming into the world.
- God sent him as a testimony to the Jews, but they didn’t (as a whole) receive him. But, but for those who did, they could become children of God.
- Jesus was lived with by men who observed him (he was real, historical).
- The law came through Moses, grace and truth through Jesus.
James 1:1-11
- James is a slave to not only God, but his half-brother as well!
- Trials are a good thing!!??
- Ask God for wisdom, but believe Him when he directs you.
- Our station in life is from God – no boasting allowed for how the world counts things!
Psalm 1
- God’s way lead to a happy, prosperous life.
- A godly person delights to meditate on God’s word.
- Wickedness leads to irrelevance and judgment.
- God watches over all and will judge accordingly.
