Genesis 18 through 23

Gen. 18 shows us Abraham sitting at the entrance to his tent near a small tree called a terebinth at Mamre.  It is just getting to the hot part of the day, when three strangers appear.  Abraham runs over to them and begs them to accept hospitality from him.  He enlists Sarah’s help and arranges for meat and cheese to be offered.  While they are eating, they ask where his wife is and one of them says “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah will then have a…

Genesis 5 through 11 - a Punishing yet Saving God

The next seven chapters of Genesis set forth the early history of "fallen" man as they saw it.

Man's heart "fashioned nothing but wickedness all day long" (5).
