Wisdom 8 Religion, Relationship and Revelation?

 Three ‘R’s’ and a question mark. Revelation is the key word to understand the difference between belief in Jesus and all other belief systems.   Why is this important?

First, belief is an individual invisible process dealing with what can’t be seen. Think again about this constantly repeated theme upon which all these…

The following article is about a brother in the Faith living his faith.  It is an example of someone who doesn't seek honor but gets it because of his focus is on the Lord as he goes about the daily tasks he faces.  ><>W

Wisdom 7 What’s in Your Cellar?

 We have been talking about wisdom and even put wisdom on a card, an IPFL card, which is a way to personally check where you are in the arena of wisdom. It’s important to immediately assess the word itself and grasp its source as God Himself. He is the Wise One on every level. If we’re talking intellect, He is the perfect Mind. If we’re probing our…

Wisdom 6 It Takes a Tuning Fork

 “You haven’t heard a word I said.” “You aren’t listening, I can tell.” “Didn’t it register with you that I was speaking to you? How come you didn’t get that?” Perhaps we’ve had those directed at us one time or other. Wisdom calls us to attention. Wisdom calls us to be alert, conscious of the moment, sensitive to who we are with. When we…

Wisdom 5 What’s in Your Wallet?

 You know that credit card question on TV. If we carry our IPFL card, that basic spiritual identity card, our mission and ministry define our secular roles as we encounter the world, one person, one situation and one event at a time.

 Take our jobs for instance. Say…

Wisdom 4 The Dimensions of Wisdom

 Do you know you’re IPFL?

 If Jesus is the summary picture of wisdom in the flesh, it is with a purpose. That purpose is to allow us to see Heaven and the world as He sees them and live accordingly. He gives us the Spirit of wisdom, the Holy Spirit, to widen our…

Wisdom 3 It’s All in the Breathing

 I’m not sure if everyone gets the difference between what the world calls wisdom and the wisdom of God. There are 417 uses of the word wisdom in Scripture and amazingly they all find their resolution in one name, Jesus. What wisdom looks like is wrapped up in Him. That’s the difference between the world’s wisdom and God’s. One is a human intellectual concept subject to shifting…

Wisdom

 In early 1900’s Norway, the goal for a woman was to marry well and raise children. To accomplish this goal my mother was sent to what was called a ‘finishing school.’ The idea was to take young girls like her and teach them to be refined wives and mothers, to ‘finish them’ with that goal in mind. It was to teach growing young ladies the ‘ins and outs’ of what that culture…

Are We Spiritually Sighted?

 The ability to see is one of the great gifts we have. Physical sight gives us a visual perspective that we could not have in any other way. But there is another kind of vision, spiritual vision, the kind of vision that sees in the invisible dimension. Jesus teaches using parables, “This…

Juxtaposition, a Spiritual Odyssey

 Juxtaposition. An interesting word. It’s putting contrasts side by side. The day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday is Saturday. They lie in juxtaposition to one another. They’re never the same. They are always different but tied together at the same time. Actually, every day in the world is an in-between day, a day juxtaposed to the known…
