Are You Adopted?

This teaching is primarily about the biblical subject of adoption, but I’ve been perplexed (and sometimes troubled) for many, many years about a teaching among many of God’s children called “The Manifested Sons.”  God has not prompted me to teach anything about that subject and adoption until just recently.  This teaching will be an overviewContinue reading “Are You Adopted?”

The Lord’s Prayer…So-Called

The Lord’s Prayer—so-called—is not exclusively Jesus’ prayer; rather it is a means of prayer, a prayer outline that Jesus taught his disciples upon their request.  In fact, it seems that the only time the disciples may have asked Jesus to specifically teach them anything was when they asked Him to teach them how to pray Continue reading “The Lord’s Prayer…So-Called”

Love

This is my 100th teaching I’m placing on this website.  It may or may not be the last teaching I’ll place on the website.

Get Wisdom!

About 1,000 years before the time of Jesus, the writer of the Old Testament Book of Proverbs in the Bible wrote:  “Get Wisdom!” (Proverb 4: 5)  In fact, the Book of Proverbs is nicknamed  by many people “The Book of Wisdom.”  The word ”wisdom” and its derivatives (such as wise, wisely, etc.) occurs over 500Continue reading “Get Wisdom!”

Afraid of God?

For many years, one of my daily prayers has been:  “God, help me to be open to change in my understanding and attitudes about You, about your entire creation—and especially toward other people.”  In light of that daily prayer, recently the following two incidents took place… I’m extremely fortunate and blessed to have numerous friendsContinue reading “Afraid of God?”

The Wilderness

Wilderness:  n.  A dry, hot place;   a wild, isolated, barren, place;  an obscure or unknown place; a deserted, desolate place. The word, “wilderness,” appears over 300 times in the Bible, making it an important subject therein simply by sheer volume of references.  Bible scholars and students have often focused on the “Wilderness experience” of JesusContinue reading “The Wilderness”

Our Long Journey Home

For eight wonderful, fruitful years, God asked me to write and publish an electronic magazine (e-zine) that ended up being read by about 10,000 people around the world each month before God asked me to cease writing and publishing it a few years ago.  Through the years of its publication, I received many positive andContinue reading “Our Long Journey Home”

God: Relationship or Religion?

I became a follower of Jesus many years ago by inviting Him to take up permanent residence in my life in his “unbodied form” of Holy Spirit.  I knew at the time that I was establishing a vital relationship with the Living God, not “getting religion.”  It might be more properly stated  that God hadContinue reading “God: Relationship or Religion?”
