Everyone has seen a “cube” drawn on a piece of paper. The drawing is a two-dimensional representation (flat paper with two directions say x and y) but you can “see” the third dimension. The picture is the projection of the cube onto another “dimension” of space. Can you hear the Twilight Zone music playing right…
The finished work of Jesus can be a controversial subject. I know that may seem strange but there are many that absolutely reject what Jesus has done in His incarnation, death, resurrection and ascension. You hear stuff like “you are minimizing sin” when the truth is God forgets our sin. Some say “you can’t include…
Have you every known someone who was one of those “my way or the highway” kind of people. I don’t mean it as a judgment but an observation. In the Navy I had the “privilege” of working for some that were very much the “my way or the highway” leaders. You can get away with…
John 14:20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. In the last few posts I’ve tried to reveal our upside down thinking. In our fallen way of thinking we perceive a g.o.d. that is not the Abba that Jesus reveals. Nobody knew…
Is it possible that God’s approach and view and understanding of all things is so different from ours that the incarnation is less about a “delusion derived chasm crossing” than it is about a “revolutionary way of thinking?” When we see the relational beauty of the Trinity, a God emerges that we thought was the stuff of fiction and…
I don’t know if you understand how much our way of thinking and processing has been hijacked. Really. Our insistence on good-bad fruit and socratic methods and Aristotelian cosmology and Neo-Platonism concepts have so messed up our heads we can’t really “see” apart from His revelation. This is what John calls the darkness: John 1:5 The…
The grammar may not be right but the concept is. The title may have your brain rooting around the English for an image that was unintended, but even that image may provide some insight. Holes in panties (or underwear for the boys). Nobody sees them but you know about them. The cliché is “make sure…
What has always been at the root of the demise of mankind is our fallen image of God. The knowledge of good and evil made us so self-aware and self-centered that we couldn’t look past our shame to embrace the beauty and love of God. Our obsession with self had created a void of identity. Our…
2 Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. (ESV) How do you feel when you read that verse? I want to challenge your thinking a bit. You should…
