The Waiting of All Creation, by Jay Quine

The Word "Creation" in Romans 8:19-22
She counted down the days until the wedding. Finally all the planning, all the talking, and the arrangements would come to an end. Although nervous, she and her beloved fiancĂ©’ would be married. That picture of anticipation is painted in the Bible’s portrayal of nature waiting for the day of our redemption. All creation is waiting, even groaning for the day when you and I will be fully redeemed in a future day of glory. This is Dr. Jay Quine. In my house are three cats, a gecko lizard, a rabbit, and a dwarf hamster. They have been subjected to futility. Sin has entered the world, affecting all of creation. Remember the word, and see them and all creation waiting for the day.

Jay Quine on Certainty

Romans 4:16 "Certain"
A man said to me we could not be certain about anything. I asked, “Really, are you sure?” We can’t even say we can’t be certain about anything unless we are certain about what we are saying. My grade school teacher taught me the ABC’s. I trusted her integrity, and am certain she was right. The Bible describes God as being wholly trustworthy because he has absolute integrity. He knows all things, and can do all things, so we can trust what God says with certainty. It is for this reason it is by faith, in accordance with grace, in order that the promise might be certain. Let me, Dr. Jay Quine, remind you to trust the Lord with all your heart, and enjoy the certainty of faith.
