RISING EXPECTATION – FROM EMPTY TOMB TO GLORY!

Sunday, March 31st, 2013

Webster’s Dictionary describes the word “EXPECTATION” as an act of “state of anticipation”…something that “would happen”!
As we look at the basis of the Greatest Event in Human History – The Resurrection of The Creator of all things (Colossians 1) – we find ourselves in a paradigm pregnant with Expectation. The incredible PROVEN event of God (Who became Man), rising out of a grave would have been a stand-alone miracle in itself, were it not for the fact that this ONE single act gave us the assurance of similar rising expectations on the Glorious (yet fearsome) Day of the Lord!

This basis of my entire being- all I believe, see, feel, touch eat and sleep – is absolutely mind-blowing! The Righteous Branch of the Godly Trinity was prophesied to rise up from the dead in Psalm 16:10 but it was Hosea 6:1-2 which prophesies OUR revival or restoration into the Heavenly realms with Abba Father!

JESUS & DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE INCOMPATIBLE?

Friday, March 29th, 2013

crownOn the surface, that headline carries a strange question! But is really? I was studying the Book of Ecclesiastes recently and in Chapter 2,  the “Preacher” – King Solomon – expounds pleasure. This led me to a study of the philosophy of Epicureans. The comparison with King Solomon and 21st Century America is uncanny! Solomon in his corrupt heyday did what was right in his own eyes, just like people today. He was the ultimate Epicurean.

 Now, there is a misconception that Epicureans believe only in “wine, women and song”…..or “eat, drink and be merry because tomorrow we die” and many carnal christians themselves believe and practice that lifestyle. Unfortunately, this included one of the most liked of America’s Founding Fathers and most famous author of the American Declaration of Independence – Thomas Jefferson.
