God created everything that there is in 6 literal days. It was not millions of years or thousands of years, it was 6 days. God created Adam and then Eve and they were intelligent enough to have conversations and name the animals. It was not a caveman mentality. God is a god of order. He abhors confusion (Satan is the author of confusion). The only being that can be born again, is the human. We are the only souls walking on earth. It is incorrect to say that I am a person who has a soul, no, we are souls. God is not about religion, He's about a fellowship. He wants there to be communication.

The Spetuagent is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. Moses wrote the first 5 books. How did Moses know what to write? It was inspired by the Holy Spirit of God but he had reliable sources through Adam and Methuselah. Stephen is retelling the story of Moses up til verse 50. Then he turns to preach to the people the things they really needed to hear. They had one from heaven and yet did not believe. When people get convicted, and they don't know what to do with it, they get mean. Stephen was stoned because of this.

Fishing was the family business. To follow Him, means to leave the old life behind. It's repentance. It's a blessing that God gives us to multiply in our lives, the things we said goodbye to, when we turned away from everything to follow Him. The old sin nature won't leave you alone. The devil will tap on your shoulder to get you to turn back. When we experience these times, we need to respond with humility. This will lead to turning back to God. God's grace is always enough and there's always more. To start walking with the Lord, you will start having fellowship with others who are walking with the Lord as well. As God is working in us, we will be closer in Him, closer in our walk with Him, and closer in our walk with each other.

On this date in history (1988), a court in Israel, found Ivan the Terrible guilty of Nazi war crimes. He was sentenced to death, however, his conviction was overturned in 1993 when it was found that it was someone else who was Ivan the Terrible. However, since he was a guard in a Nazi death camp, the US sent him back. God's plans regarding His people, did not go away with time. God's protected love for, and devotion to His people, is not for anything they did. There were multiple occasions that God had to act in judgment of His people. We as Christians are God's people, just as Israel is of God's choosing.

The purpose of the author, John, is that we might believe. Believing is only one piece of the puzzle. The Bible says that even the devils fear and tremble because they believe. In order to believe in Him, we first must know that He is real. He's not one that someone just decided to write about. John wrote many things so that we may believe. He was our eye witness. God had you on His heart before the beginning. The bible is just what God wanted, all that God wanted, and only what God wanted. The Bible has been preserved through shed blood, through wars, through acts of providence that man knows nothing about. It's been preserved and maintained through centuries. Don't trust your heart! It's influenced by your old sin nature. The more we're into the word, the less the World is into us.
