The Bible is an incredible book is many ways. It is the most popular selling book of all time. Yet, it is one of the least read books. If you look at the number of books bought verse the number read it might be the book with the smallest percent read of all time. These days most of America is considered Biblically illiterate. People don't seem to know where the bible came from, don't know the themes of the bible, don't have an understanding of translations, and so much more.

St. Matthew Lutheran church is aiming to change that with a great bible study that covers those topics and more. The nature of the Bible study is an overview which mostly covers information that isn't under debate by different denominations. It's something everyone can learn from.

This past weekend, at the superbowl party I was at, one of the guys told me he liked the blog posts I used to write about Genesis. So, here is another post about Genesis, covenants, and Abraham.

Covenants are a very powerful and meaningful thing for us. The easiest way to think of them is as a contract. But, these are unlike any other contract. Genesis 15 tells us of the covenant between God and Abraham.
