The Nature of Christ

Jesus Christ is possibly the most maligned, misunderstood, and misrepresented human that ever walked the earth. To say that Christ is the Head of the Church is scripturally correct. But what do we have in our mind when we say that? What do we actually think of in terms of His Headship of the Church is concerned?  I think it is important to review some aspects of the nature of Christ beginning with some of the larger issues: Within the Christian Churches today there are people who … [Read more...] about The Nature of Christ

Godly Unity in The Human Realm

At the level of human existence, we all crave more unity. We would like to see our nations, our local communities and particularly our churches and families more united. Through Christ, we are joined to the Father. Unfortunately, we live in an environment where some particularly key factors are not united, not “joined as a whole”. As followers of Christ, we have been drawn out of the world and our position regarding unity is decidedly different than the common ideas about unity which … [Read more...] about Godly Unity in The Human Realm

A Future and a Hope

We have seen lots of cultural revolutions in this country, but now the foundations of this country are being razed. And part of that foundation is simply God. At least God was mentioned and a certain amount of the moral underpinnings of this country came from that source. And that is being eliminated. We live in an increasingly difficult environment and as followers of Christ we need a perspective to help us deal with the real world. We need a clear vision of how God views and feels about us … [Read more...] about A Future and a Hope

Longsuffering

The headline in a recent Wall Street Journal was titled “War in the Middle East is closer than you think.” It didn’t say ‘might be closer’ rather “it is closer than you think”. The subhead to that was: “Russia isn’t parked, (It has not stopped its development of the war with the Ukraine.) Iran isn’t pacified, (it’s going ahead full force with its nuclear program.) and both are coordinating strategies with China.” Russia, Iran, and China are going to become a potent force in the world scene. … [Read more...] about Longsuffering

What is Your Motivator?

There is a poignant proverb most know well: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”  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?

By Your Patience Possess Your Souls

In Luke 21 Christ is talking to His disciples who have asked Him what the sign will be that "these things" are about to take place.  The time of the end is the context: Nations are rising up against nations, kingdom against kingdom. There are famines, pestilences and great earthquakes in various places. As we go further away from these beginning signs which we can observe today it’s going to get more difficult for God’s people as the end times draw nearer. It becomes more intensely … [Read more...] about By Your Patience Possess Your Souls

The Nature of Peace

This world does not reflect the nature of a loving God. The relationship between the Creator and His creation has been broken.  However, this condition has a limited allotment of time before God moves to restore all things to Himself. Everything seen and unseen was created for a purpose and existed under the loving care and direction of God. But peace in the creation was destroyed through angelic rebellion which has led to a state of hostility toward God and toward other peoples and … [Read more...] about The Nature of Peace
