Life Application Study Bible; Published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. The simple statement that God created the heavens and the earth is one of the most challenging concepts confronting the modern mind. The vast galaxy we inhabit is spinning at an incredible speed of 490,000 miles per hour.  But even at this breakneck speed, our galaxy still needs 200 million years to make one rotation. And there are over one billion other galaxies just like ours in the universe. Some sci

Life Application Study Bible; Published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. The Bible does not address the topic of evolution. Instead, its worldview assumes that God created the world. This biblical view of creation is not at odds with science; rather, it conflicts with any worldview that excludes a Creator. The Bible not only affirms that God created the world but also reveals who this God is—His Personality, Character, and plan for His creation. It also demonstrates God’s de

That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Ephesians. 1:10 Paul uses a significant term here that is not only used for adding up a column of figures , but also for the process of adding up a column of figures .  A contemporary way of putting it might be to say that in a world of confusion, where things do not “add up” or make sense, we look forward to th

With a quick review of Genesis, we will discover that God has told us more about His presence in creation and in history than about the details of human civilization. A.W. Tozer Shirley Casseta Leger October 29, 2025

This morning, I learned from my friend's husbands that she passed away. I thought of this poem! I thought of sharing, perhaps others could be experiencing the same situations. Sympathy is your hurt within my heart; O Friend, may I come in and take your hand. And say a healing word and have a part.  Is this your grief? How well I understand! For I have gone the whole long, weary way; I know how steep the slopes, how rough the road; But also, Friend, I know there comes a day wh

I am the first and I am the last: apart from me, there is no God. Isaiah 44:6 . All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Isaiah 44:9 TODAY’S IDOLATRY: Isaiah tells us, “Who shapes a god and casts an idol, which can profit him nothing?  We often think of idols as statues made of wood or stone, but in reality, an idol is anything natural that is given sacred value and power.  If your answer to any of the following questions is anything or anyo

John 6:44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them at the last day. People do not come to Christ strictly on their own initiative; the Father draws them.  By: Shirley Casseta Leger October 24, 2025

1 Cor. 2:9 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him” We cannot imagine all that God has in store for us, both in this life and for eternity.  He will create a new heaven and a new earth (Isaiah 65:17; Revelation 21:1), and we will live with Him forever.  Until then, His Holy Spirit comforts and guides us.  Knowing the wonderful and eternal future that awaits us gives us hope and courage to press on in this life, to

My Thoughts of HEAVEN and spending eternity with God The Lord is my shepherd; I will not be in need. NASB (I lack nothing. NIV). Psalm 23:1 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them Gen.1:27 He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name. Ps.23:3 I am going there to prepare a place for you.  3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that wher

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn.That shines brighter and brighter until the full day. Proverbs 4:18 The godly have all the guidance and protection they need (see vv. 11-12), which can lead  to righteousness. (Da. 12:3) By: Shirley Leger, October 16, 2025

“Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” -  Ephesians 5:1-2  ESV. "Pleasing Aroma" The way Jesus expressed His love for us is not only the means of salvation but also an example of the way we are to live for the sake of others.  In the Old Testament, the offering of a sacrifice pleased the LORD so much that it was described as a “pleasing aroma” By: Shirley
