Genesis 2:4-7 What does dirt have to do with deity? Quite a bit actually. Here’s our verse for the day: “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7) It doesn’t get any more earthy than […]

Genesis 2:1-3 “Work to live or live to work?” We know how we should answer. The testimony of our lives is probably another matter. But let’s ask the question of God – because I would guess that our unspoken assumption is that, basically, God lives to work. You see, for many people, “Creator” is God’s most […]
Genesis 1:31; Psalm 8 A good God makes a good world. Perhaps that should be the banner over Genesis chapter 1. There are no regrets here. God doesn’t say “It’s not quite what I’d imagined. It was better in rehearsals. I’ve kept the receipts in case you want to exchange it.” No, Genesis 1:28 – […]
Perhaps I should have done this from the outset but… The King’s English is now on Lulu. So it will never sell out. Not sure how much they’ll charge you for shipping from overseas (perhaps you could tell me in the comments), but I hope it’s not too expensive. Enjoy!
Genesis 1:28-30 On day 4 we’ve hit a milestone. Here’s the first of many King James phrases that have become swear words! “Be fruitful and multiply.” It’s God’s way of saying… well… let’s stick to the way God says it: “Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28) It’s a phrase that actually gives us a window […]
Genesis 1:24-27 Picture God-like-ness. How does it look? What is it to be God-like? Well Genesis 1:26 speaks of ‘the image of God’ and it’s one of the most discussed verses in all the Bible: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion…” What exactly is […]
Genesis 1:3-23 In the beginning was the life and love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Before there was a universe there wasn’t nothing, there wasn’t chaos and there wasn’t a lonely god. Our origins are not darkness but entirely light. But when this God creates, the equation changes. Suddenly there is something else other […]
Genesis 1:1-5; John 1:1-5 Right now the whole world is considering beginnings. But usually they’re the beginnings that we will make. “New year, new you” and all that. What about the beginning that God has made? Let’s think about that for a minute. Wind back the clock to the time before people and planets and protons, what […]
What makes for a happy ending? Let me suggest four factors: The good guys win. The bad guys get their just deserts. There’s a wedding. And you finish on a song. There’s something immensely uplifting about a story that wraps up with this kind of victory. But the bible claims that history is headed towards […]
Dear King’s English readers, Thanks so much for joining me this year. I started 2011 with about 50 of you and have finished with a thousand logging on each day. I haven’t really made a song and dance about the blog, it’s just been a little devotional for myself more than anything else. But I’m […]
