The Intersection of Heaven and Earth

Here is another ancient post: In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. And then, He created the firmament and divided heaven and earth. However, God provided that there should be moments when a sort of gateway would open between the two realms, and heaven and earth would intersect. This intersection occurred upon many different mountains. It …

Seeking Things Above

NOTE: I am going back through old posts from my previous blog and re-posting a few now and then. Here is one from a few years ago that I posted while working through how we worship on earth in alignment with heaven.  Paul instructs us in Colossians 3 to “seek those things which are above.” Our …

Household Evangelism: Evangelism and Feasting

Get Rich Quick!

The world is full of schemes for getting rich, and most schemes carry the promise that you can do so in a hurry. “Get rich quick!” is the cry, and countless millions follow that cry like lemmings plunging over the cliff. (That comment should bring the lemming myth nitpickers out in force.) We should all …
