The Garden of Eden Prototype

When God created mankind there was a strong bond between the Creator and the Created.  This bond extended to the rest of the earthly creation that God had made.  Man was to work with the environment to subdue it and have dominion.  In other words, he was to dress and keep it. God and man walked together, they talked together, and they worked together.  All of those things are contained in the first chapters of Genesis. The Creator, Man, and the environment all worked … [Read more...] about The Garden of Eden Prototype

The True Nature of Leadership

I think we can say factually that we are in a crisis of leadership in this country and the world.  It is not just political government.  Leadership is also suffering in education, business, city governments, families and in the Churches. Today I want to take a practical look at this issue of leadership. Itā€™s not so much a discussion of leadership principles but more about the whole concept of leadership, the nature of leadership. First, I want to look at leadership from a worldly … [Read more...] about The True Nature of Leadership

Godly Justice

Administering justice is a major theme of the Bible. King David administered justice to all his people (2 Samuel 8:15).  Indeed, God expects His people to administer justice: "Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?" (1 Corinthians 6.2-3). So that is the question: Do you and I practice justice … [Read more...] about Godly Justice

Is Jesus God?

Jesus Christ came to pay the penalty for our sins in our stead. He sacrificed Himself that all humanity might be reconciled to God the Father. Reconciliation is necessary because our sins have separated us from God: ā€œBehold, the LORDā€™s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hearā€ (Isaiah 59:1ā€“2). However, if Jesus was only human, … [Read more...] about Is Jesus God?

What is Your Motivator?

There is a poignant proverb most know well: ā€œThe road to hell is paved with good intentions.ā€  A common meaning of this proverb is that an individual may have the intention to undertake good actions but nevertheless fail to act.  This inaction may be due to procrastination, laziness, or other subversive vices.  As such, the saying is an admonishment that a good intention is meaningless unless acted upon.  Another interpretation of the saying is that wrongdoings or evil … [Read more...] about What is Your Motivator?

The Danger of Political Correctness

If Christ were to run for political office today, would He be elected? Hypothetically, we could reason and say, ā€œWell He is honest in all His dealings, He is a hard worker, He is willing to help anyone, He sets the standard for moral uprightness, etc.ā€ What is there not to like? By todayā€™s standards, there is plenty. Jesus Christ was not ā€œpolitically correctā€ ā€” not by todayā€™s view. He, with His supernatural and spiritual understanding, said things that illuminated the truth, things that went … [Read more...] about The Danger of Political Correctness

Gnosticism: Why John Wrote 1 John

The New Testament Church began with a bang.  We note in the book of Acts that one day 5,000 people were added to the church.  Soon after another 3,000 were added. But over time, Satanā€™s influence sapped some of that initial ā€œfirst loveā€ that the Church had when it began.  False teachers began to worm their way into the Church. We know this from Christā€™s words regarding the Churches in Revelation, particularly the Church in Ephesus. It was significant enough for Christ to … [Read more...] about Gnosticism: Why John Wrote 1 John
