GENESIS 11:20-29


 Then Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s
wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of
Milcah and the father of Iscah.


 GENESIS  11: 30-31

30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 And Terah took his son Abram and his
grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his 
daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s 
wife, and they went out with them from 
Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of 
Canaan; and they came to Haran and 
dwelt there.

GENESIS 12:11-13

11 And it came to pass, when he was close 
to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his 
wife, “Indeed I know that you are a woman 
of beautiful countenance.
12 Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians
see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and 
they will kill me, but they will let you live. 
13 Please say you are my sister, that it may be
well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you.”
GENESIS 16:2-4
2 So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.” And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai. 
3  Then Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan.
4 So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived...

1 And Abraham journeyed from there to the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar.2 Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, “Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man’s wife.”


 TODAY'S LOVE STORY:

ABRAHAM & SARAH


I chose Abraham and Sarah for today's love 
story. Abraham told Sarah that she was a 
beautiful woman. He asked her to agree to 
tell people that she was his sister. He feared
that men would take her away from him.

Abraham and Sarah were married over 60
years. Sarah was barren and the Lord did
bless her with a son when she was ninety.
Sarah died when she was 127 yeas old. 
Abraham mourned and wept for Sarah. 

Some wives complain that their spouses
never tell them s compliment. Men also
enjoy compliments when they do good
jobs around the house. 

 Let's make a pledge to give out some
compliments Valentine's Day and in 
the future.

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

ADAM & EVE'S FAMILY TREE

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
