man as his own god
Posted in uncategorized, tagged man as his own god on June 10, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Man tries to become his own god :
1) by demoting the worship of the Almighty (a wonderfully, literal Title) and
2) by promoting himself in sports, science fiction, and pseudo science, etc.

EVER-PRESENT
Posted in uncategorized, tagged EVER-PRESENT on June 10, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Some folks religion is all past,
Made of ritual, reflexes, rites,
Mixed with a “called” feast, a “called” fast,
Based on images, pictures, sights.
2
Other’s religion is primarily a hope,
They hope in some uncertain day,
(Presently their religion doesn’t cope)
They hope for help when they’ve passed away,
3
The God who IS Triune, filled the past,
But controls the present as well.
Our God endures as long as time shall last,
Yet daily, today by faith, will indwell.
4
He is the God of the ever-present present,
He is the God of all history gone by,
Wherever in history’s line one is sent,
The Almighty is there: past and bye-n-bye.
5
What good is a God whose primary claim
Is a birth, a life, a filled tomb?
What good is a God whose supposed fame
Is for some generation still in the womb?
6
Our God is past, He’s future, and also right now.
He is here for the present trial, the current need,
He’ll be here when each future day enters, with a bow,
Ever present: to love, to lean on, to lead.

Being filled with the nature of God
Posted in uncategorized, tagged Being filled with the nature of God on June 10, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Being filled with the nature of God
is a completion – back to before the fall (and/or better).
Being controlled by the carnal nature is a destruction – leading to the final destruction.
