I have appreciated the feedback concerning the new series, Old Testament Journey - Yesterday's Stories, Today's Questions. I also wanted to apologize for not being able to get two of the messages online. We have someone from Woodall's Music coming tomorrow to thoroughly check out our equipment and help us troubleshoot the problem. Hopefully, we'll be back in business asap!

Since we've been studying the Old Testament for the past several weeks, I thought you might get a kick out of this list of the top ten ways to know you need to study Genesis:

10. Your pastor announces a new sermon series from Genesis… and you check the Table of Contents to see if it’s in your Bible.

9. You think Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had a few hits during the sixities.

8. You open to Genesis and a WWII War Bond falls out.

7. Your favorite OT patriarch is Hercules.

6. A small family of woodchucks has taken up residence in the book.

5. You become frustrated because Charlton Heston isn’t listed in your Bible's concordance.

4. You catch your kids looking at pictures in their Bibles of the Garden of Eden and you demand, “Who gave you this trash?”

3. You think the Tower of Babel is in Paris, France.

2. You keep falling for it every time your pastor says, “Please turn to the book of Melchizedek, chapter 14.”

And the #1 Way You Know You Need To Study Genesis:

1. The kids are asking you too many questions about your unusual bedtime Bible story: “Noah the Shepherd Boy and His Ark of Many Colors.”
