Hiding From God

There is a theme that I want to spend time developing on one level which is very simple to understand. But it's much deeper than I sometimes think we take time to think through. Very simply, God formed Adam, placed him in this garden of great abundance, gave him a purpose within that, a job, a work, and there was a relationship here. And then God crafted Eve, Aam’s counterpart, his compliment, his partner (Genesis 2:7-8, 15-18, 21-22). And then It says: “And they were both naked, the man … [Read more...] about Hiding From God

Freedom to Choose

I was talking with someone who was struggling to believe in the existence of God. His main arguments were regarding the sovereignty of God: “If God is an all-powerful, all-knowing God, then why didn't He know that Satan, or Lucifer at that time, would rebel and cause so much trouble for Him? And why did He allow Satan to pull so many spirit beings down with him. And why did He allow him to deceive mankind and mess up God's plan?”   The broad answer is critical to understanding both how … [Read more...] about Freedom to Choose

Suspicion – The Silent Destroyer

The world around us affects us in so many negative ways and we all need to begin to see these influences for what they are.

And these all feed off of each other into a downward spiral, leading humanity toward destruction.  As followers of God the Father and Jesus Christ we understand the ultimate … [Read more...] about Suspicion – The Silent Destroyer

Hindrances of Unity

Paul stresses the importance of unity to the Church in Ephesus: “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4  There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is … [Read more...] about Hindrances of Unity

Where is AI Leading Us?

Artificial Intelligence is advancing at an exponential pace. AI’s processing power and programming algorithms are advancing incredibly rapidly and largely out of the sight of the general population. The limitations of power intensive hardware are being solved faster than alternative power sources can be developed. And AI is exhausting the supply of internet text used by programmers to teach it and is now training itself. In some functions, it is already better than human beings, and soon it … [Read more...] about Where is AI Leading Us?

What Is the Kingdom of God?

What is the Kingdom of God? I don’t think we can overstate the importance of the answer to the question. There are so many theories out there about different systems of belief including different definitions of the Kingdom of God. We need to think about the end result of what those beliefs produce and about what the implications of their version of reality are. The idea of the Kingdom of God was clearly central to Christ’s ministry making it a fundamental premise of our hope, of our purpose, … [Read more...] about What Is the Kingdom of God?

The Gospel: God’s Plan for Humanity

At a time when the world is experiencing so much anger, chaos, lawlessness, frustration and such a bleak future, God's overarching plan for humanity is more vital and critical for us to understand and apply individually than ever before.

It emphasizes His desire for the creation, the earth and all its inhabitants to dwell in peace and harmony with Him. It also highlights … [Read more...] about The Gospel: God’s Plan for Humanity
