A Beautiful Passage from Psalms

There is so much wisdom & so much joy in the Bible. We love Psalms for its beautiful poetry & also as a starting point for prayer. When looking for verses that include animals, we found this passage, which eloquently encapsulates our humility before the Lord who supplies us with all the good things of […]

More on the Animals from Job

In our discussion of animals in the Bible, we come now to one of our favorite passages, Job 39. It’s a favorite because it shows such profound insight into the nature of the various beasts. We particularly love the section about the war horse, who glories in his task, unafraid, faithful, & reliable. We seek […]

Job & the Animals

The last couple of days we talked of Noah & his abiding faith, but perhaps no one in all the Bible was tested as Job was, & yet he remained steadfast through all his trials, always trusting in the Lord. The passages of Job give us some of our favorite verses about animals & for […]

Noah & the Saving of the Creatures

No consideration of the what the Bible says about animals is complete without the story of Noah, of course.  It is, for most of us, one of the first Bible stories we learn as children & remains a beloved tale throughout our lives. That Noah, that good man of God, would undertake such a monumental […]

More Animals in Genesis

Yesterday we talked about how God made all the animals, every one, the fish, the birds, the mammals, the insects & every other sort of creature. Today we would like to present a few other passages from Genesis that talk about animals. We left off yesterday with Genesis 1:25… just before the big moment when […]

Animals & the Bible

We love our animals at Makanalani. They are a constant delight (even when they are sometimes a trial) & always a reminder of the goodness of God. We thought it would be fun over the next few days to look at animals in the bible. The people of that time lived close to nature & […]

Operation Noah

Yesterday we told you about an upcoming talk here on Kauai about climate change. But what is the Christian response to this global problem? We were wondering just that & came across Operation Noah. This ecumenical Christian organization focuses specifically on climate change with the motto, Faith-Motivated, Science-Informed, Hope-Inspired. We know, of course that Our […]

The talk will be given by Pamela “Rina” Gordon & is entitled: Climate Change and Kaua‘i: A Positive Response. It’s free, […]
