Chasing Aslan in the Real World
It has been one year since I began this little commentary on the book of Genesis. I can hardly believe it. My intention had been to just cover the Eden narrative which ends with Cain and Abel, as far as I’m concerned. I’m starting to see, however, just how far the implications of these first...

Beginning in verse 5, we begin the aside narrative regarding the creation of Adam and Eve. What was simply a passing reference in the first chapter we now get details about. I couldn’t help but wonder “Why?”. There is quite a bit of detail that the Bible leaves out throughout the entire book. Details about... Continue Reading →
It has been a while since I’ve given you, dear reader, any words and especially a long while since I’ve given you anything Genesis related. My family has been on the road having quite a long and busy vacation. There has been hiking, hot springs soaking, surviving temperatures in the triple digits, and more driving... Continue Reading →
This morning for the Genesis Diaries, I was absolutely planning on moving forward to the next set of verses. I was derailed by something that I read recently. Actually there has been quite a lot that has been working on my heart lately. The LORD is working on me regarding all sorts of issues,... Continue Reading →

And now we come to the first contentious part of the Bible. Well, at least this is true in modern times. To be fair the idea of God literally creating the universe, literally creating each living thing with words from His mouth is fairly controversial. But the idea of God creating us as Male and...

Dominion. I'm not sure that there is anything that I am more uncomfortable with in the Bible than the concepts of "dominion" and "authority". When they are in the hands of God, absolutely fine. When I am told that I have dominion and I have authority my first thought is, "Well, that's one heck of... Continue Reading →
Now we come to the creation of mankind or, as we have learned, the “making”, the hand crafted fashioning of mankind. All of our greatest, most foundational questions about our purpose and our existence are rooted in this moment. Who are we? Why were we created? What is our purpose? Why did He make...

A little light housekeeping before we begin: After speaking to my Beloved and a few people whose opinion and wisdom I thoroughly trust, I’ll be focusing fairly exclusively on the Genesis Diaries for an unknown chunk of time. It has become clear that one of the most important things I can do with my time... Continue Reading →
