This series is an ongoing series appearing in Living Springs Institute's bimonthly publication, Shaqah, beginning with issue #1. Segments of the series are presented here as parts. Each part contains the writing which appeared in a single issue of Shaqah. They are presented here without modification, just as they appeared in each of their respective issues. However, for convenience, each part has been republished in its own independent PDF file so you can read, save, and print them as you may desire.
Lord willing, there will never be a part of "Following the Biblical Stream" which is not published in Shaqah. Thus, Shaqah is an excellent way to keep up with this series as it continues to be published. Shaqah is also the way to read further in the series than this series' page may allow for a time. If you find a series' part is listed as under construction, you can still read that part by looking it up in Shaqah. All back issues of Shaqah can be found on our website, and all you need to do is click on the Shaqah issue listed for the "Following the Biblical Stream" part which is under construction.
Also, if you come to the last part listed on this page, you can look to see if the issue number of Shaqah listed for that part is the most current issue published.
“Following the Biblical Stream” is Living Springs Institute's main ongoing Bible study. As I sit down to write an introduction to this series, we are well on our way into the series; but at the same time, we are not even close to being in sight of the conclusion. Thus, unlike some other series' introductions I have written, this series has an introduction not written at the beginning of things, but also not at a time I can say things about the series as a completed work.
Now, if you read Part I of this series, you will find the intro which was written before any of the series had been. Part I was written for the sake of getting people interested in this series as well as subscribe to the publication which now bears the name Shaqah. However, in that very first installment, I make a statement which needs to be amended a bit. I stated that we will not be taking the Bible verse by verse, but going through the Bible as a whole and then coming back to take it a book at a time. I never intended this statement to mean we would do a flyby on the Bible, and I tried to make that clear in what I wrote back then. However, it's true I did not originally think I would do quite as much in-depth, verse by verse studying to begin with. I intended to do a layered kind of study which would start by going over things more generally and then start over again, going more in-depth each time.
That has not turned out to be the case, because that was not God's will for this study, and I always want to follow The Lord in all things. Instead, "Following the Biblical Stream" has turned out to be very much a verse by verse, in-depth Bible study. In fact, there is even some repetition of information covered in the series. Because of the fact each Bible verse can and does connect to so many other issues, the conversation about each verse radiates out into many subjects which overlap, at times. Of course, this is actually a good thing because it can be very helpful to our understanding of a subject as a whole to look at its different facets as they appear, by studying different verses, different stories and different time periods. That being true, any repetition is not extensive, and instead is more refreshing and confirming of the truth.
All this culminates in a very thorough verse by verse Bible study which may take me more than a lifetime to finish writing. However, I believe this series, no matter its current length, does much to help an individual build a solid foundation in studying and understanding God's Word! This is why I start from the very beginning with Genesis 1:1. You can jump in at any point, and you can look for just those verses you want to read teaching on, out of those verses we have covered, or you can start at the beginning and read all there is. No matter where we currently are, I'm sure the reader who finds this study to be of value, will easily catch up with where we have made it to, and find themselves having to wait for new parts to be published in order to read further.
In any case, it's my prayer that you will find this study of great value to your walk with The Lord, as well as your individual calling to be "...ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:..." I Peter 3:15 That is what it is for, and I have endeavored to write strictly what I feel The Lord telling me to write in each part. If you find you have specific questions about this series, a specific subject, or anything in life you want a Biblical perspective on, please write to us, or use our Q&A submission form! May The Lord bless and keep you as you go deeper in His Word each day!

Part I is the original introduction to this series, and makes several points which are important to having the right perspective about how to approach the series overall.
Part II is an opening discussion which talks about dividing the Bible's time line into dispensations, and how that affects the way people see God's plan for salvation.
Part III discuses the creation of the matter which our universe consists of, time itself, and the physical energy which runs our universe. It goes on to discuss the specific creation of earth's atmosphere, all of which takes us through the first two days of creation.
Part IV starts with a discussion of how dry ground appeared on this earth, and then the creation of the plant life. From there we move on to the fourth day and the creation of the sun, moon, and stars. This leads to a discussion about the dividing of time and how that relates to man's false religions.
Part V covers the fifth and part of the sixth day of creation. It discusses how and why God created animal life, how this brought about an automatic balance in nature, as well as began the process of creative changes which makes the earth and its life so diverse.
Part VI goes into the sixth day of creation by starting with a discussion about the chapter and verse separations that were added to Scripture. This is done to talk about how the division of Genesis chapter 1 from chapter 2 might not have been put in the best place and why. From there the discussion turns to the creation of mankind, and more specifically the Triune nature of God.
Part VII continues the discussion started in Part VI about the fact God is a Triune Being and He made man a triune being as well. It covers the illustrations used to help us understand this point, and then jumps ahead to chapter 2 verse 4 of Genesis in order to continue discussing how man was specifically created.
Part VIII continues the discussion of man's creation, and talks more pointedly about the fact God made a specific spot on the planet in which to place the newly created human. It discusses the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the point man has never stopped looking for a cure to the fact he lost the physical ability to eat of the Tree of Life and never die.

Part XVIII continues the discussion about the actions God took and the things God told Adam and Eve after they had taken of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It talks about what was an actual curse and what was God informing them about the consequences their actions would bring. The main conversation of this part covers what God told Eve about childbirth and the raising of children, as well as the point about her husband ruling over her.

Part LXXXII goes into a discussion about what Isaac's name means, and all its simple meaning encompasses when expressing God's will and plan for salvation and this world as a whole. It covers the issue of making mistakes and being willing to recognize them, especially in light of having children. This is done in a discussion about Ishmael's life and what it would mean. This part ends with a discussion about numbers we see repeated in the Bible, and specifically the meaning of the number twelve.
Part LXXXIII begins by talking about how God left Abraham, at the end of the conversation conveyed to us in chapter 17. In emphasizing this, it goes into a discussion about how God's presence is manifest to us and what our actions have to do with how much we can be directly before God. This part focuses from start to end on the issue of obeying God and how important it is, as even the last part goes into Abraham wasting no time circumcising every male of his house just as God had told him to do. Of course, all this has direct connection to showing us God's plan for salvation and our specific need for The Messiah!
Part LXXXIV covers the day God, along with two angels, came by Abraham's tent on the way to Soddom and Gomorrah. It discusses both the wisdom and humility of Abraham in desiring God stop and spend time with him. This takes us into the story of how God used this time to bring the news directly to Sarah about her having a son with Abraham and Sarah's response to that news. The latter half of this part goes more directly into how much God's judgments are righteous by talking about the why God was going to destroy the cities of Soddom and Gomorrah. It ends with the conversation Abraham has with God about how few righteous people it would take for God to find the cities worthy to be spared.
Part LXXXV goes into a more contemplative look at the conversation Abraham had with God about Sodom and Gomorrah that was not possible to do in the last segment. In the context of why God would destroy or save the cities, this part takes a broad look at how we are saved and why. It talks about what true salvation is and what it's about as it directly relates to choices we make as well as those God makes. It looks at judging by both God and ourselves. It covers a lot of subject matter concerning the nature of God, His presence in our lives, along with the affects that presence can have both positive and negative, and why this means only God knows best how to handle each of us as individuals and as groups.
Part LXXXVI begins the story of the two angels actually coming to Sodom in order to bring Lot and his family out of the cities before they are destroyed. It covers the importance of Lot's inital reaction to seeing these men, and what the angels came to do as well as what they did not come to do. In getting into the story about how the men of the city reacted to these angels staying the night in Lot's home, it takes the opportunity to explore the ways Lot had come to justify living in such a sin-filled place. In doing so, it reflects on how much Lot's thinking had been further corrupted by being there and how closely related to thoughts we have today which cause so many of us to make mistakes in our lives!
Part LXXXVII continues the story of the night the two angels came to take Lot and his family out of Sodom and Gomorrah before the cities were distroyed, and how the men of Sodom came for the two angels who appeared to be men. This part goes into how God proved to Lot just what a corrupt place he and his family were living in, and how God answers our prayers on the basis of what we need not just what we want. In talking about this, it has a great discussion about healing and suffering which God allows. It also speaks to how we can try to help others, even family, listen to God, but only to a certain point before the time comes for us to walk away. It ends with an emphasis on how important our obedience to God's will is to our own salvation.
Part LXXXVIII continues the story of how the two angels came to take Lot and his family out of Sodom and Gomorrah before the cities were destroyed. This starts at the point where Lot had been told to go into the mountains, but Lot asks if he could go to the city of Zoar instead. Because of this, the part contains not only a discussion about what this would mean, but also how much this shows us what it means to trust and follow God instead of our own desires! It talks about God's will, His grace, our will, faith, forgiveness, salvation, and how they all interact. It also covers Lot's wife turning to a pillar of salt and why. Overall, this part shows us what it truely meant for God to destroy this entire valley.
Part LXXXIX continues on with a focus of what specifically became of Lot after being saved from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It takes a look at the reasons why after choosing to go to Zoar, Lot turns around and ends up living in the mountains God had told him to go to in the first place. It also covers how Lot, having lost all his family with the exception of two daughters, ends up with two sons to carry on his name and who they came to be. In a very overall way, this part is all about looking at what can come of a life when we are given opportunities to be used by God but choose to waste those opportunities. This part also talks about Bible chronology in talking about the how and why the story of Lot's life is wrapped up in these verses.
Part XC takes us more directly back to the life and happenings of Abraham. This part begins with a discussion about how Abraham continued to travel the land without taking possession of any part of it. In this conversation we compare Lot's life, once again, to that of Abraham, and go on to talk about the contrast between all those who were a part of Abraham's family who were not, or did not want to go on to be God's chosen nation. In this, it reaches forward through time to talk about how the promised land and those lands surrounding it were populated and by whom. After that, this part goes into the story of Abraham's encounter with the Philistines, and the specifics of what happened with Sarah as they entered that territory.

Part XCI continues the story of Abraham going among the Philistines and Sarah being taken by the king. However, its real focus is on the fact Abraham had to pray for the king and his house to be healed in spite of the fact many blame Abraham for all this by telling them Sarah was his sister. In this it discusses our witness versus our personal faith, and even how that can be different for those in the ministry. This segment is all about how well we each choose to follow God and trust in Him no matter what the circumstances of our lives might seem to bring at the time.

Part XCII takes us directly into talking about the actual verses that tell us of Isaac's birth. In this part we talk about how Abraham followed God in what he was to do with Isaac in spite of how long it might have been that the couple had waited for this event. This part goes through an overview of what Isaac's name means and why. In talking about how Isaac's life foreshadows Christ, this part discusses the second coming and issues falsely taught about that event. In many ways, the overall focus of this part is to take a look at how patient we must be at times to see the blessings of God and why this is true.
The independent PDF file for this part has not been published yet. Please use the Shaqah issue listed here to read this part of “Following the Biblical Stream.”
Part XCIII goes forward talking about the events which took place after Isaac's birth. It speaks to the fact Sarah had laughed at the thought she could still have a son, and what it meant for her to laugh after it happened. From there it goes on to discuss the events that led to Hagar and Ishmael being removed from the house and why. This part shows how much all these things are not just a story told to us in order, but interconnected events which we need to have the right prespective on to really understand. This part discusses blessings and pain as it looks at what we are sometimes asked to do in order to serve God and be in the place He needs us to be!
The independent PDF file for this part has not been published yet. Please use the Shaqah issue listed here to read this part of “Following the Biblical Stream.”
Part XCIV goes into the story of how Abraham was told to send Hagar and Ishmael out of his house. It covers the subject of how God was there to bring the answers to tough choices and how much we must follow what God tells us, not go our own way, and why. In doing this, it covers subjects such as God's nature and His presence, as well as how we should see the consequences of our actions. Over all, it discusses the questions people have about why Abraham sent these two members of his house out with nothing more than a jug of water, as well as the larger subject of the formation of the nation(s) Ishmael would grow into!

Part XCV takes us into the journey of Hagar and her son Ishmael as they leave Abraham's house. This part discusses where they went, why they went the way they did, and what happened to them due to this choice. It covers all the ways this story should be looked at differently due to the fact Ishmael was not the young child many think of him as being, and in covering all this the discussion goes heavily into many of the ends and outs of parenting. In talking about the how of what happened to these two, it also discusses some interesting details about how to pray and why we should do it that way.

Part XCVI continues the story about how Hagar and Ishmael had been sent from Abraham's house and went out into the wilderness where they would wander until they had no water and no place to get any more. This part covers the conversation God had with Hagar and the points God wanted her to look at, which were not things her fleshly mind wanted to at the time. This leads to discussions concerning how we doubt God when we have not even given Him a chance, and how God takes care of us in so many ways we never think of. It covers topics such as parenting and helping children hold on to the promises of God. This part ends by talking about where Ishmael settled and lived his life, as well as discusses some of how he became a nation.

Part XCVII goes into the story of how the king of the Philistines came in hopes of making an agreement with Abraham concerning how these two powerhouses might coexist on the land of Canaan. This part uses the words of the king to point out a lot about the correct way we should deal with other people, and in particular, servants of God. In doing this, it touches on how we should see the ministry and those who serve in it. This part also covers issues relating to cultural differences in the way politics were handled, and is filled with many good pieces of information as to how we should conduct ourselves as believers.

Part XCVIII continues talking about the life of Abraham and the one specific thing he did at Beersheba, which was to plant a grove. This part goes into the fact we later see in the Law how God forbid this very thing from being done in Israel. This leads into a discussion about religion; how it was formed; what God would like to use it for; and most importantly, how much it should not be the way we worship God in truth. There is so much information and perspective in this discussion concerning the issues of all our religious thinking and how God intended the Law to show us what was right. It talks heavily about offerings and sacrificing, along with tithing, and much more. All these things, not so much in the detail of how they are to be performed, but where they came from and why they should or should not be done!

Part XCIX finishes the last verse of Genesis chapter 21, which is an emphasis of how much Abraham did not claim the land of Canaan and yet God made sure the land was looked at as home for the chosen nation going into the future. This is an important discussion as it heads into the story of chapter 22, which is about God tempting Abraham. This leads this segment to go into a heavy discussion about temptation and what it really is as well as how it works. It talks a lot about the contradiction that seems to exist between what Genesis tells us about God tempting Abraham, and yet we are told in the Book of James that God tempts no man. In doing so, it explains what it all comes down to in God wanting us to learn and grow through the experiences we face in life and even some He specifically puts in our life.

Part C starts into the direct story about God telling Abraham to take Isaac and sacrifice him. It, of course, talks about the ramifications of doing such a thing, not just in that Isaac was to be the chosen nation but also for Abraham's reputation. Thus, this part goes into the details of not just what Abraham was asked to do but specifically how he went about doing it. It discusses details such as emotional issues for Abraham and representation found in small parts of the story most do not take the time to think about. It covers subjects like sacrifices, giving, where God wanted the temple to one day be placed, why He wanted it there, and much more.

Part CI goes into a deeper discussion of the single point made in verse 5 of Genesis 22 where Abraham tells his servants to remain and that he would come back to them. This was used to have a discussion based on the fact Abraham did not at that time expect to return with Isaac. It addresses the deep ramifications of what it would mean for Abraham to have actually been allowed to do what God told him to do and what that says about doing what God tells us to no matter what. This part takes a serious look at the way Christianity, as well as Judaism, thinks and some of the right and wrong in that thinking. It covers a lot of ground on exactly what God is trying to accomplish among men and how He has been doing it. While this part did not cover a lot of verses, the discussion it contains is highly valuable to all who serve God.
