The More I Read

Isaiah 43

Luke 12

Matthew 24

     I wish that I could give some new revelation concerning the times in which we live and the ones to come. Fairly settled am I.  We are in the Church Age as kicked off by Pentecost.  The next great thing we are waiting for is Christ’s return.  The Rapture revelation is relatively new, as of the 1800’s?  Doesn’t mean it is not right.  Just new.

     I do believe God reveals Himself incrementally.  Ephesians talks of the manifold wisdom of God being let out like accordion folds.  He hides mysteries and unveils them in due time to spur man’s understanding.  They drive courses of action.

     God has a linear timeline.  Certain events will occur.  We, as Mankind, bounce about this axis obeying the upper and lower control limits.  He will not let the process run out of control. He is God.  He takes responsibility for His creation.

     God’s dealings with the Jews as opposed to the Gentiles?  Understanding covenants is important.  He makes agreements with two sets of people and puts requirements differently.  Prophetically, He parses up time using these agreements to set the ages.

     The more I read, Cory Cvrk’s notes (the ones that explain all), turn to gray.  I set not resolution nor firm feet in the ground to oppose.  What once was tied synoptically now drape down as the web of understanding sags.  Divine inspiration, a glimpse of light afforded me, only propelled my curiosity to seek Him anew.  Hence, not a soap box to preach upon.

     So, I concern myself with weightier things.  Love in action.  That is the challenge of the day.

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...

She Doesn't Tell You That You Are A Loser

She Doesn’t Tell You That You Are Loser Grace:  The incredible pink cushion between your screwed up decisions and the ramifications wrought by them. Mercy:  withholds the rod.  Grace says, “Now what?  Given you’ve gotten yourself into a marijuana muddied bowl of slime, would you like a hand up?”  She gets her hands dirty. “That’s ok, its just something I have to work through.”  And she does.  Her incredible prayer power burns a hole through overhanging clouds of gloom. My ears pierce in my usual confronting atmosphere.  An auto E.Q. does its job to focus the vibrations to the rear-view mirror.  Anger aligns my head to look straight into traffic.  Twenty minutes of a sub-woofer gets my energy out of the windshield. “Hey, you’re messing with my woman!”  We have an understanding.  She is to be under my wing.  I have violated before, running in a tangent to the graph.  I’ve learned not to overreact.  I conc...

Perhaps You Don't Know

  Perhaps You Don’t Know      Those present sat in the first pew, on the left and on the right.   The ring bearer was my faithful dorm mate.   Nearly my age and goofier to catch my sister-in-law’s eye, his antics spiced the military wedding.   We, known as a couple since high-school, were definitely going ‘steady’.   Mother-in-law held up the Panasonic cassette player to march the bride.   Proud Papa did say, “Her mother and I.”      It was a humble wedding.   A few were invited.   Even fewer braved the September roads.   The medium-sized First Christian Church of Aurora, Colorado let in the light.   Lack of air flow brought sweat under my suited armpits.   Finally, drops found their place to my forehead and I dropped to one knee.   Grandma thought I had already proposed previously.   A bit of confusion hung in the air until I stripped off my outerwear and got comfortable in the ...
