Basics 4  The Holy Trinity

        When we talk about God we are talking about the source, the purpose and the function of existence.  Note that is a threesome.  God is a threesome, Father (Mt.3:17, 16:17, 17:5), Son (Mt.28:18-20) and Holy Spirit (Jn.16:13-15, Acts 1:8).  [The way I describe Him: the architect, the manager and the labor force.]  Naturally.  When I say…

A Spiritual Twist

 Everything we do is influenced by what we can’t see.  There is an immediate evaluation made, a moral evaluation.  For instance, we look to others for approval.  We want to do the best to get promoted.  We want a good discussion, the right kind of boss, the best-looking wife, the nicest children in a proper neighborhood and so on.  Just the idea of making a good impression, not a bad one, is…

The Real Way to Change the World

Let’s start with Denis Prager’s insightful remarks:

From Outfit to Infit, Output to Input

 The Word calls us to start within to make genuine what is done without.  Jesus has just called disciples to follow Him.  A crowd has come to hear Him, and many were healed.  Early the next morning while it is still dark, He goes out to pray alone.  The disciples searched for Him because everyone was looking for Him.  When they did, He…

The Truth, Nothing but the Truth…….

 One of the great memories of my life was when my parents would take me to Maine in the Summer to fish.  It was not only the place but the excitement, the anticipation of the trip, taking the trip and arriving at the lake, the beautiful mountains, forests and just being in the out-of-doors.  A local railroad had a train stop at a clearing by the lake, where we were picked up by the…

The Atmosfear Within the Atmosphere

 When we consider that prophecy brought the specifics of what a Messiah, a Savior, would be like, sinful man changed it from being relational to a religion he could control; something he wanted, not what God wanted.  From Genesis on to Malachi, the Old Testament reveals man’s deeper nature being influenced by a self-centered maneuvering…
