Item of great price (Mt. 13:45, 46; Rev. 21:21; Jb. 28:18), used for adornment (1 Tim. 2:9; Rev. 17:4).
Pearls are found inside certain species of mollusks, such as oysters.

They are globules formed from layers of calcium carbonate alternating with layers of organic substance; They are formed by the deposit of the pearly substance around a foreign body that has been introduced inside; a grain of sand, for example, produces irritation and serves as a nucleus.

This substance is the same as the nacre that covers the inside of the shells.

Large, well-formed pearls are produced by the "pearl oyster" ("Meleagrina margaritifera") which is abundant in the Indian Ocean, especially in the Persian Gulf and near Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka).

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart

This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.

That “Light” resides in Christ, for He said, “I am the Light of the world”

Light which Redeems the Soul

Jimmy Swaggart

The darkness that was here prevalent was taken away only by the Spirit of God, as He moved upon the face of the waters. As someone has well said, The Moving of the Holy Spirit is the first sign of life.

Put your Faith in Him and what He has done for you at the Cross.

Beginnings are one thing, while endings are another!

Jimmy Swaggart

On this first day of a brand-new year, which is a new beginning of sorts, the Lord offers to every person a brand-new beginning in their life, irrespective as to what the past has been. Millions this year will make New Year’s resolutions, resolutions which invariably will not be kept.

The place where god puts you will not be perfect—even eden was exposed to the possibility of evil. But there is no better place to be than where god has set you down.

A Place Called Home

Colin S. Smith and Tim Augustyn

The book of genesis is part of the revelation god gave to moses at mount Sinai, so when it says eden was “in the east,” we are talking about a location somewhere east of Sinai.

We were created to come close to a Father who has made himself vulnerable to the longings of his people and to absorb his desires as he cares for and works through ours.

God’s Heart and Ours

Chris Tiegreen

One of the primary ways God accomplishes his purposes on earth is through the prayers of his people. And one of our primary motivations for prayer is the desires in our hearts.
