The Prophetic Return of Christ

Our lives consist of and are measured by pivotal events and experiences that change our direction and our behavior. They can change our outlook on life. i Throughout history God has placed pivotal events upon humanity to shake us from the paradigms which allow us to justify our behavior, to define for ourselves what is good and evil. Some have developed a form of godliness but, whether knowingly or unknowingly, deny the power and purpose of God as their Creator and Sustainer.  The Bible … [Read more...] about The Prophetic Return of Christ

Politics During Jesus’ Time

How should we respond to the politics that invade our daily lives in the news, workplace, school and from so many social media platforms?  According to Wikipedia which often conveys modern thought regarding a subject: ā€œPolitics (from the Greek word, politikĆ”, meaning 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources." This is a well-thought-out … [Read more...] about Politics During Jesus’ Time

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 ā€œthe Lord our God, the Lord is One.ā€ In John 1 this is reinforced for us: ā€œNo one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Himā€ (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 donā€™t always have the feeling that God is relevant to our everyday lives. I donā€™t mean in the overall sense of knowing Godā€™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 Christianā€™s responsibility to become leaders who are law … [Read more...] about When Leaders Are Lawbreakers

Why Does Man Exist?

In an article dated September 21, 2018, titled ā€œThe Human League: What Separates Us from Other Animals?ā€ 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! ā€¦ In action how like an angel!  In apprehension how like a god! ā€¦ 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?

Purpose of the Law

"Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). The word ā€œvisionā€ in this scripture is used in a prophetic sense, a revealed understanding of a future reality. It says that if we lack a purpose and a clear direction of where we are going and how to get there, we are not going to "get there". Knowing where we are going and our purpose, our intent, is extremely important. God gives humanity a purpose, a destination, and He gives us a way to get there. The Bible is a complete … [Read more...] about Purpose of the Law
