Top Highlights

“So often adverse circumstances find us bemoaning our fate instead of looking for ways to glorify the Lord Jesus in them and through them. We have to learn life’s adversities before we can be trusted with life’s advancements.” (Genesis 39:1–6)

“Sin did not begin on earth; it began in heaven. The mystery of iniquity did not originate in the heart of a human being. It had its sad source in the breast of an angelic being of the highest order. It entered the Garden of Eden full grown, introduced there by Satan disguised as a serpent. Three chapters in from the beginning of the Bible the serpent appears for the first time; three chapters in from the end of the Bible he is seen for the last time. The results of his work are seen on every page between.” (Genesis 3:1–8)

“There were two movements in Abram’s enlightenment. There was a revelation and a response, a statement of faith and a step of faith. It began with a statement of faith (12:1–3).” (Genesis 12:1–4)

“were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was in Shechem.’ That is the first burial in the chapter.” (Genesis 35:1–4)

“Alford says that it was a steadfast, earnest look, a wistful look, a lingering, hankering look” (Genesis 19:12–26)
