The Work of God

Jesus Christ is a great window into understanding the Being we call the Father. These two Beings form the God family and They are so identical that They are referred to as “the Lord our God, the Lord is One.” In John 1 this is reinforced for us: “No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him” (John 1:18). The message revealing God the Father originated with Jesus Christ and He had authority to rehearse or unfold who the Father … [Read more...] about The Work of God

The Closeness of God

If we are honest with ourselves, we don’t always have the feeling that God is relevant to our everyday lives. I don’t mean in the overall sense of knowing God’s plan and purpose. I am thinking of something more up close and personal. The longer time goes on, with the subsequent increase of corruption in our societies, the more difficult it is to feel the personal closeness of God -- that He is there for us on a real and personal basis. We may have understanding in our head, but the daily … [Read more...] about The Closeness of God

When Leaders Are Lawbreakers

The world is a mess. It's a sentiment that I believe we could all readily agree with. There are reasons why the world is a mess and we need to be very clear about them. We are certainly experiencing a crisis of leadership. And there are ramifications when leaders are lawbreakers. They bring upon their nations self-inflicted destruction. I want to address the reality of what it means to have leaders who are lawbreakers and to reinforce a Christian’s responsibility to become leaders who are law … [Read more...] about When Leaders Are Lawbreakers

Why Not Steal?

We think there's a growing sentiment in the world that the idea of right and wrong is somewhat arbitrary. Our institutions have failed us in many ways, and it seems that society is throwing out both the ideas that they represented and those institutions. And we're left with the idea that morality is really just a cultural concept. It's culturally defined, and if one is truly enlightened, it's somewhat irrelevant, right? So, if morality is not defined by our institutions, it's defined by … [Read more...] about Why Not Steal?

Why Does Man Exist?

In an article dated September 21, 2018, titled “The Human League: What Separates Us from Other Animals?” the British Newspaper The Guardian states the following:   "What a piece of work is a man! marvels Hamlet. How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! … In action how like an angel!  In apprehension how like a god! … The paragon of animals!  Hamlet then ponders the paradox at the heart of humankind: what is this quintessence of dust?  We are special, but we are … [Read more...] about Why Does Man Exist?

Pentecost, the Spiritual Connection

There are many things that we can learn and understand in our walk with God when we observe God’s walk with the nation of ancient Israel.  There’s much about the nation of Israel that sets a pattern for us to learn from. By covenant, they became a called-out people who were destined to live according to the will of God as expressed by His law. The feature of the special relationship was the fact that God would dwell among them: “And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among … [Read more...] about Pentecost, the Spiritual Connection
