Do you hear the voice of God? Do you listen? Do you value His voice? God wants to lead us and that we would trust Him.

Antoinette gives examples of how God will speak to us in a variety of ways, and how to determine if it's really Him.

“There seems to be a lot of confusion about marriage these days. For many people the very idea for marriage has become a joke. The traditional model of marriage is being challenged now more than ever. But instead of challenging traditional marriage, let us first look at the basis of that tradition. To do that, we must go back to the beginning.” R. C. Sproul I want us to look from a biblical perspective at the entire scope of this institution of marriage from its origin.

Paul was on a ship bound for Rome. There was a fierce storm and they were shipwrecked on a strange island, after the ship had been broken into small pieces. All 276 men "escaped to land." The land was a small island called Malta, 60 miles south of Sicily. The islanders on Malta were of Phoenician ancestry, which "showed no little kindness." God had promised Paul safe passage to (Acts 27:23-25), and he would let nothing stop his servant.

John’s writings (five New Testament documents) were undertaken toward the end of the first century. By the time John wrote this letter, Christianity had been around for more than a generation. It had faced and survived several persecutions. The main problem confronting the church at this time was declining commitment: Many believers were conforming to the world’s standards, failing to stand up for Christ and compromising their faith. False teachers were plentiful, and they were accelerating the church’s downward slide away from the Christian faith. John wrote this letter to put believers back on track, to show the difference between light and darkness (truth and error), and to encourage the church to grow in genuine love for God and for one another.

Larry speaks to the divisive social issues dividing our culture, comparing it to the dysfunctional culture present in the days of the prophet Amos.

God is not impressed with our religion because it leads to oppression.

The third chapter of Genesis is one of the most important chapters in the Bible. It tells how sin entered the human family. It offers an explanation for tragedy, suffering, war and general evil in the world. Take Genesis 3 out of the Bible and you have no explanation for the presence of sin. God created us to have unbroken communion with Him (Genesis 3:8); but we have all departed from that design. The Bible calls this sin. Sin came to man from without and not from man’s original nature. God told Adam and Eve that when they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they would die (Gen. 2:16-17). The moment they sinned they began to die physically (Rom. 5:12).
