Fatherhood
The world has twisted what a father is and with this, we are faced with the ultimate question of; “What came first, the chicken or the egg”? And as with any person born into this world, they at some point in their life will ask another profound and similar question. That is, “What is...
Can we truly know everything there is to know about God? And are we capable of knowing or even comprehending all there is to know about God? James tells us, “draw near to God and He will draw near to you” - Jm. 4:8. James is able to say this inspiration only because of Jesus who was an aspect of...
In His Presence.
So often we don’t take advantage of the Grace that gives us access to the Throne room of God as it is stated, “Come boldly into the Throne Room” - Heb. 4:16. We can have an audience with God not only as Sovereign but as our Father. A special dispensation for all who clamor for...
It is not unusual for Christian’s to move from one church to another. It should be encouraged! Sure, there must be a consistent and consolidated body that makes up the church but without spreading of this core of the body, other churches will not be strengthened. A church isn’t worth its weight...
Put on Christ !
Put on, Christ! Again; I say, “Put on Christ”! For without Him there is no peace. By insidiousness does the dark one works for a false peace of control. But by Christ is there peace of love. For love conquers all, only when done in peace and by the Word of Truth. For is not all...

Post any odds bits of studies or cool info you happen to have laying 'round for all to enjoy and ponder..
Be not confused in these days as men seek peace and security. For by it will come the destruction of the world. The world makes what is seen important but God seek the Spirit of things for His Righteous cause. Our God is of ancient days and His peer crosses the limits of this world to put in...
Humor
Religion has always painted God as angry, disappointed and a disciplinarian but Christianity acknowledges Him to be personable and loving in His ways and decrees. Yet, even for Christians to conceive that God has a sense of humor can sometimes be a stretch of their knowledge and Faith in...
It should not be surprising to what’s happening in the world, and even though we know these things must happen; many may find it hard to make sense of the rapid changes occurring and that as Christians we face. It has come as a shock for some in the church and maybe there is a feeling of...

Do you understand the war you have been called into? The fray that has made you marked with the Blood of the Lamb? How be it then as a soldier in the army of Christ and all that is Righteous before Heaven’s Throne; there is a failure to train up for the battle head?
Train up !
Generosity.
Jesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you, for in My Father’s house are many mansions” - Jn. 14:2. Not only will we be completely renewed into His image but also rewarded with things of beauty. For how can we receive a mansion and it not be furnished? God is generous to those who...
Does any one actually believe YHWH is one gender or the other?
Elohim used in Genesis is a plural (strike out feminine - old scribe's error) masculine noun.
The Hebrew, Greek, or English word for father uses the word figuratively.
In the biological sense of the meaning of YHWH is not "our...
Everyday is Father's Day.
There is no other relationship that stirs so much connection than that of having and knowing a father. He is the icon for every child that is born into the world no matter the origin, social or economic status. He is to be the example. Now, there are some pretty bad...
