Our Father.      

2/27/2014

   If you had asked me forty years ago or more if I knew that God was my Father, I would have assuredly answered in the affirmative. I have been a Christian for a long time and I have been blessed by God and He has always been faithful and gracious to me and my family. However, coming to know God as my real Father has moved to the innermost part of my being. I can’t explain how it happened, but over a relatively short period of time I became much more aware of the fact that God” fathered” me (and you). The amazing thing is that this awareness, or revelation, that God, The Creator, is my Father changed everything. (I will talk more about that on a future blog). There are many implications of knowing that God is our Father. One of the blessings that come with knowing God as Father is that it simplifies life in general because we know that our Father is reigning, He is in control. Also, as wonderful as it is to know Him as Father, there is still more to learn about Him and we can spend the rest of our earthly lives learning more about our Father.

I have a lot more I want to say, but will do on future blogs. Right now, I plan on posting new blogs at least twice a week. I would love to have your feedback. There is a place you can make comments.

Think about:

Do you know that God knew you long before your physical birth?

What does it matter that God is your Father?
What does it mean to be made in His image?

Scripture to ponder:                                                                                                                                 John 20:17 b  Jesus said “I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God and your God.”

Blessings in Jesus name,

Evangelizing Christians?

I have had the privilege of knowing Peter Parris. Peter is a faithful minister of the gospel and many have been blessed by his keen insight and understanding of the New Covenant that Jesus inaugurated.  Peter said that when He became a Christian, God let him know that he would be used in “evangelizing Christians”. Peter goes on to say that most who live in the Western part of the world have for a long time been exposed to a “sub-standard” gospel. “The lost do not know how lost they are and the saved do not know how saved they are” is how Peter relates this truth. If this is a true and correct understanding (and I believe it is), it has huge implications for us today. One implication is that we must read the gospel through new eyes; we must be willing to change, perhaps unlearn some things and learn new truths. We may have to discard some beliefs,interpretations, and opinions we currently hold dear. I believe that the New Covenant that Jesus ushered in is far greater and more wonderful than most of us currently realize.When the gospel of the Kingdom of God touches a person, an organization, a church, or a nation, the evidence of the Kingdom is obvious to all. Life is not the same after encountering 
this Kingdom. God desires that we pursue and embrace the same gospel that the Apostle Paul and other New Testament writers and believers encountered.
It’s my prayer, my hope, that we will indeed acquire a new thirst and a new hunger to learn 
more about the Gospel of Jesus Christ resulting in truly transformed lives. The gospel is indeed 
better news than most of us realize-it’s worth the pursuit. May God open our eyes to see Him.
