“See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule...
Receive the Brokenness of All People
I asked Jesus how to live as His companion of love. It is easy when I am in prayer, and He allows me to feel His presence and to see His gaze, but during the day, there are so many distractions. Jesus said: Be attentive to each person you encounter in your...
Eschatology 6 - DLF
"Revelation, n. A famous book in which St. John the Divine concealed all that he knew. The revealing is done by commentators, who know nothing." _The Devil's Dictionary_, Ambrose Bierce, 19th century American priest, Dover, 1958.
In Revelation, the "four living...
Eschatology Note # 5
In the writing of John's Revelation, there is a structure to the presentation of what John saw by means of "a door standing open in heaven" (Rev. 4) My mental picture of this is that he was taken up aboard an aerial craft and shown some "videos". This was a memorable...
“To you, O Lord, I call;
my rock, be not deaf to me,
lest, if you be silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
when I cry to you for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward your most holy sanctuary.”
“Blessed be the Lord...
I read Romans 8:28-39. This is one of the greatest and most precious promises of Scripture which applies to those whom God is for, who are in Christ Jesus by believing in him, who love God, and who have been called according to his purposes; who walk not after the flesh, but according to the...
“Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly...
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who is God, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – left his throne in heaven, came to the earth, and was born as a baby to a human mother, but conceived of the Holy Spirit and not of man. So he was not born with a sin...
Jesus' ONLY gospel was the Gospel of the Kingdom, which essentially boils down to nothing more than putting the will of the Father before our own (as He did). Our will is corrupt as it is based on selfishness, as the original sin of Eve then Adam showed. All evils in this world come as a result...
“When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on...
I heard a pastor a while back while accompanying a friend I was visiting, who rambled on incessantly about forgiveness, skimming the surface as clergy do and talking about should (n't), never once touching on the deeper meaning of why; in this case that we are all one in our sin of self interest...
“And Mary said,
’My soul magnifies the Lord,
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
And his...
At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I finish my course. Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and...
Man is never content enough to just do as we are told by God, but driven to analyse why and who is this guy anyway. It puts us back in the drivers seat and we've stolen the vehicle, taken a detour and made Him over in our own image. Stick to caring for each other as commanded while He takes care...
If we ask the children
about Bethlehem,
and signal them to tell us why
Christmas comes again.
If they’ve heard the Gospel
of Jesus’ love for them,
they will say “It’s running
to see what angels said!”^
They will see the Christchild
among travelled men,
be all the wiser for it,
about mercy come...
