Christians have long found Genesis 1–2 to be some of the most fascinating portions of God's Word. In our fascination, we have developed a few talking points that have become our first points of interest in this passage. We often ask things like, "How long were these days?" or "How long ago did these events happen?"
Those questions are certainly important. Scripture may well have many things to say in answer to them. Nevertheless, they are not the most important questions that Genesis 1–2 should raise for us.
Our attention ought to be rapt by God himself. |

Right now, prisoners are struggling with feelings of loneliness, isolation, and despair. But we can reach them with the hope of Jesus Christ by sending as many Bibles as we can, as quickly as we can. Your gift today to Prison Fellowship will put Bibles and Christian content into the hands of waiting prisoners. The demand right now is unlike anything we have ever seen, and there's nothing short of a revival happening behind prison walls! We have an amazing opportunity to reach men and women with what they need most: God's Word! Thank you for remembering those in prison. |
