Spiritual Equilibrium

It’s difficult to maintain our spiritual equilibrium in the moral and ethical chaos of the world we live in.  As followers of Christ, we are to have balanced relationships with those in the world.  Jesus said that we are to be in the world but not be of the world.  We’re to live life as a positive example, not allowing the world to return to mold or shape us negatively. We are not to jump head-first into the world’s value systems; however, we are not to withdraw into isolation … [Read more...] about Spiritual Equilibrium

A Story of New Beginnings

God uses a pattern of "new beginnings" throughout the Bible. These patterns reveal God's persistent love for mankind even when man is rejecting His way of life. In the beginning, "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good . . ." (Genesis 1:31 NIV).  Gensis 1:27 says this included the creation of the first man and woman. From scripture we understand God’s purpose is to create a family, the God family beginning with Adam and Eve.  Every physical thing that God created, … [Read more...] about A Story of New Beginnings

The Beast World Order

This year promises to be a difficult year if the last twelve months are any indication. It doesn’t appear that there’s going to be any let up in some of the catastrophic events that have been occurring. The message that God gave ancient Israel through Hosea resonates very well for Christians today.  It is a message that makes it quite easy to make a comparison between what ancient Israel was being told then and what we see around us today. Hosea gets a little specific, but very apropos … [Read more...] about The Beast World Order

Taking God Seriously

Ancient Israel experiences in the 40 years of wilderness wanderings can be a good mirror for us. Their example reveals many aspects of our nature: “Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was … [Read more...] about Taking God Seriously

The Truth Will Set You Free

The truth will set you free!  This is a much-used phrase.  You find it in Martin Luther King’s speeches, inscribed on the headquarters wall of the CIA, and it was used in one of the most recent Marvel movie franchises.   I would suggest that this scripture should not be read as superficially.  We often hear it used in the sense that knowledge is power, or we can set somebody loose from their bondage if we can enlighten them of their false notions and correct them.  … [Read more...] about The Truth Will Set You Free

China and Russia in Prophecy

There is a lot of talk today about a new world order.  The world’s attention has been drawn to two major political powers, China and Russia.  Each power has geopolitical ambitions.  An article in Foreign Affairs, “How Fear of China is Forging a New World Order” states: “As China seeks to burn down what remains of the liberal order, disparate actors are starting to roll back Beijing’s power.  In the process they are reordering the world. For the first time since the cold war, … [Read more...] about China and Russia in Prophecy

The Master Potter

In Isaiah 64: 8 God reveals Himself as a “potter”: “But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.” The Hebrew word for clay is ‘chomer’ which means as bubbling up.  That is of water, a wave, of earth, mire, or clay, like cement or mortar. Moses wrote that God formed man out of the dust of the ground (Genesis 2.7) The Hebrew word for dust means clay, earth, mud, ashes, dust, ground, mortar, powder and, rubbish. Water is a … [Read more...] about The Master Potter
