The Startling Accuracy Of GenesisHi this does remind me of some stuff from Hugh Ross, Reasons to believe. He is a person I tend to follow or cite when dealing with skeptics. -

Psalm 25:15 (NIV, 1984)
...according to your love
remember me,
for you are good, O Lord.
Think of us only by way of your love,
manifest presence, in us, covenant.
Why else the exertion to raise Jesus up,*
He ascending, then sending his promise, your Dove?
Wafting, the fragrance of our praises...
He is not served by human hands,
rather by hearts, his breath in them.*
Though he lacks nothing, God wanted us
for fellowship, desire filled from dust.
If he had made us from the best of things
of heavens glory, what delight would that bring?
Instead, he made us, mere to majesty,
to just lesser...
Concerning Luke 2:21-24:
On the eighth day after Messiah Jesus was born, Joseph and Mary had Jesus circumcised. This could have been done by a rabbi at Bethlehem or in Jerusalem:
On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before...
Love is ultimately a description of fruit growing in our lives, in the “Garden of With All”,*
where the divinely commanded grows naturally, having roots of belief, trunks of hearing,
waters of faith.** Love’s seeds, full of zeal, find receptive soil in heart, mind, soul and
effort—these...
Could the action described in Mark 2:3-5 be an early form of “retaining and forgiving sin”?
The point is that when Jesus “saw their faith”, it was then that He told the paralytic “your sins are forgiven.
It appears to me that the ones carrying the stretcher knew that the man needed healing...
Matthew 19:16-17 (NASB-1995)
16 And someone came to Him [Jesus] and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?”
17 And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if
you wish to enter into life, keep the...
It's been a good while since
I thought of the sea as a friend.
I've come to the waters to reconcile
God's call to peace with all of life's frictions.
But the Lord has a way
of busting up crutch paradigms.
He says lean not wholly on reasons,
but, yes, we can on words from the Christ.
Here is the...
Lord, how we love your appearing!
Lord, appear! Lord, appear!
The Spirit says the hour is a mystery.
Yet, desiring your Kingdom-come cheers.
It’s not as if our restless yearning,
of itself, could turn to the time.
Yet, You earnestly wish that our turning
in expectation is always ripe.
Lord...
Truth, be told this Christmas
as with every morn.
Prophecy has come to pass,
the Messiah is born.
True, it was for centuries
God told time to wait,
till magi saw the Lord was pleased
by the sign He gave.
Wondrous revelation:
Immanuel from His courts
took good news to Bethlehem,
grew as lad and...
Trembled, shepherds at the shout *
of the angels near Zion’s Mount.
Filled with words of “Fear ye not”,
sandals rightly ran with awe!
Babe, too small to open the door, **
lay in a manger at the floor.
Better than dining is to adore, ^
thus the shepherds communed more.
Tremble, saints at Holy...
After reading Psalms 119:145-152
Promises ring through the night,
like owls, good-haunting the wise,
echoing through forests of days,
promises--what moonlight can’t shoo away.
Wicked schemes may feel so near,
yet far away are they from the clear
conscience that is succored by law
of the...
Come up from your wounds as deep as the sea,^
enter the Lord’s ark for comfort and healing.^^
Every inch of man, once plundered and poor,+
shall leave the soul sick—Oh God, such hearts restore!
Jerusalem, jewel and joy of the earth,
fell into captivity and callous-cruel scourge.++
Prophets...
(Whether one is “Arminian”, “Calvinist”, or in-between in their theological bent, there is something to be, shall we say, “wildly joyful” about in knowing that God intimately thought about us and stretched his arms toward us even before “the beginning of time” (2 Timothy 1:8-10 NIV)...
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and
God our Father, who loved us and by
his grace gave us eternal
encouragement and good hope,
17 encourage your hearts and strengthen
you in every good deed and word.
There we have it: divine encouragement already
given and...
The Apostle Paul carried the banner
theme of "faith, hope and love" everywhere
he went. We mostly recognise this as if
it were the refrain of the 1 Corinthians
"Love Chapter":
1 Corinthians 13:3
And now these three remain: faith,
hope and love. But the greatest of these
is love.
This trifecta...
A poem, after considering these Bible verses:
Jeremiah 17:5; Jeremiah 17:7-8
5 This is what the Lord says: "Cursed is
the one who trusts in man, who depends
on flesh for his strength and whose
heart turns away from the Lord.
7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in
the Lord , whose confidence is...
A meditation, after considering Colossians 3:11-17
11 Here there is no Greek or Jew,
circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian,
Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all,
and is in all.
12 Therefore, as God's chosen people,
holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves
with compassion, kindness...
I recently heard a pastor assuage his congregation's
perceptions about the Old Testament, assuring attendees
that even if it (the OT) seems "weird", it forms part of the
canon of the inspired word of God. For my part, having
thoroughly read both testaments, I'm struck by how "weird" one...
Our well-being in the Lord puts his splendor on display.
From Isaiah 61:3 (NIV Bible 2011):
They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
Wanting to know THE ultimate plan that God the Father has for the future?
The Bible clearly states it in Ephesians 2:6-7. We know why Messiah Jesus
came to save, but there is an ultimate "What?" that is loudly asked in the
universe, throughout every generation, until "what" happens^...
