Without going to deep into the Western Worldview and Greek philosophy, I feel as though I need to address and skim over Platonic influence within current western Christianity. I don’t want to give a comprehensive overview but wanted to touch on it because it definitely factors into how we see God’s governmental covenants with His creation and ultimately view salvation. The main point that I want to address concerning...
Read MoreThis blog post was basically written in one day but got pushed aside for weeks before I could tweak it some. For the brave souls willing to read this, here you go. SIGNS AND WONDERS WITNESS TO COMING RESTORATION In a previous post I briefly mentioned God’s covenant with creation and in a future post I hope to give a solid Biblical anchor on how God will NOT annihilate the creation He has made, but restore it. God in His full...
Read MoreA few nights ago I watched the Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson with some friends. Â I know that this movie was produced and directed by a fallen man, just like the rest of us, but was struck with the portrayal of Jesus’ humility nonetheless. Â After a year of God redefining my heart and life in so many ways, this movie came alive to me unlike any other time I have watched it. Â And the Easter story now makes sense at a...

To see part 1 of this series, click here. I used to think that studying the Bible for the purpose of pursuing theology, was for the scholars, rabbis, theologians and those who felt called to that type of in-depth study. Now I see it as essential to every believer because a person’s theology (knowledge of God) and then belief in that theology, leads to their praxis (how they live their lives day to day). For me it has become an...

Some day our time in this age (internship of a life) will come to an end. And everyone, whether clear or ambiguous, has a concept of what the next age will look like and we live life now, based on the results of “then.” The end is always framed through some type of worldview and no matter what belief system we come from there is always a beginning of creation (cosmogeny), a brokenness of that creation that then needs some...
Read MoreToday in prayer and study, I just had a gripping reality over and over again of where the Word calls me to place my hope. The reality of the truth isn’t new because of the past months of revelation hitting my heart, but the Lord is rooting it deeper. Why? Because that (hope) is what I believe God seeks to place at the forefront of His peoples’ eyes in this age, for endurance & motivation as they face everyday choices...

To read the second part to this 2 part series, click here. I have a feeling that there will be many other posts like this one. Where I take current revelations and lay bare (confess) the true reality I have found in my own heart throughout the journey of grasping the truth of His Word. Buckle up if you choose to continue on in this post. Know that the realness you read in posts like this one, have come through a work of the Spirit in...
Read MoreREMINDER: My blog is really to get my processing from prayer and study into a place that actually helps it to become streamlined in my own mind and heart…even if it might be a little long. But if you track with me, I see some of what I blog as being critical to my own walk with the Lord and even my own salvation. For those who like simple blogs filled with pictures and only a few sentences (that’s me too), mine will...
Read MoreThis post is raw and coming from the place of prayer and a stirring based on recent conversations (several different ones) that I have had. And it also relates to the subject of Kingdom Vision Unto Mission, but is an unplanned blog w/not much formatting like my other post. I warn you, it is more like reading a chapter in a book than it is like reading a short post. So bail out now if you want. I will regain my formal unfolding of what...
