Was this army nuts? What army conquers a city by walking around it for a week, then blowing trumpets?  Not only nuts but totally embarrassing for tough soldiers. Right? Nope.  Someone had to seriously have heard from God very clearly to do such a crazy thing.  Not only heard from God but obeyed Him.  RiskedContinue reading “Was this army nuts?”

Light shines clearest in the darkness. Our World is increasingly dark, and biblical truth is diluted to cater to man’s sinful desires. It is time for believers in Jesus to press in to God’s Word, embrace it as truth, andlive it with the help of God’s grace. We can’t afford to have one foot inContinue reading “Light Shines in the Darkness”

These two realities describe the very paradoxical nature of our relationship with God. Here are some well-known biblical examples: the first will be last, the last will be first – the least will be the greatest – deny yourself to free yourself – whoever saves his life will lose it, but whoever loses his lifeContinue reading “God of the Paradox – The Paradox of Transcendence and Immanence”

Almost certainly God is not in Time. His life does not consist of moments following one another. If a million people are praying to Him at ten-thirty tonight, He need not listen to them all in that one little snippet which we call ten-thirty. Ten-thirty—and every other moment from the beginning of the world—is alwaysContinue reading “God of the Paradox”

If God is transcendent how is He also immanent? If His love is unconditional how can it have conditions? Jesus said He is the Way. How is the Way into His Kingdom also the Way out of this world? Can one be in the world at the same time not of the world? If ChristContinue reading “God of the Paradox”

Colossians 3:1-5 1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.Continue reading “American Idol”

9.6.20 Sanctified Temple worship was both the physical and symbolic rite and ritual of God’s people to honor and make sacred His Covenant with their fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. A central part of Temple worship was the sacramental system of restoring the righteousness of God to the people.In the Book of Leviticus the OldContinue reading “The Bread of Presence”

We have learned the Holy Spirit calls us and draws us into the presence of God as His Sanctified people. Yet, King David wrote, “only those with clean hands and pure heart can enter.” We want to follow the Holy Spirit’s call to be set apart for the will and purpose of God. We wantContinue reading “Sanctified – Clean Hands Pure Heart”

Psalm 15:1-5 Who may worship in your sanctuary, LORD? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill? 2 Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts. 3 Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends. 4 Those who despiseContinue reading “Sanctified – Elevating Your Game”

Clearly the Holy Spirit is the kinetic force (purposeful-active-movement) of Sanctification. And clearly that is a process that leads us to those ever-important Sanctified moments and God-purposed events. How do we get there? To His followers Jesus said that He would to go to the Father, for the divine purpose of sending to us HisContinue reading “Sanctified – The Holy Spirit as a Kinetic Force”
