The Alchemy

-
R  eligion is not confined to devotional exercises, but rather consists in doing all we are called to do with a single eye to God’s glory and will, from a grateful sense of his love and mercy to us.
This is the alchemy which turns everything into gold.

The " Influential " series - Part One From the first days of his earthly ministry, Jesus proclaimed the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. More precisely, he announced that his Kingdom had arrived. It has many manifestations in the invisible and visible world. The dynamic of the Kingdom basically: the life, ability and power of the King: The God Almighty . The better we understand His character and abilities, the better we represent his Kingdom in the visible world. The apostolic teaching says: By faith we understand that the universe* was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. Heb 11:3 {ESV} *Lit. “we understand that the ages of the world (aions) were created by the word of God, so that out of the invisible came the visible.” Here is an important connection between aion and the Word of God The Holman translation is more specific: By faith we understand that the universe...

Kimutatni az Atyát

"A megtestesülés célja" c. sorozatból Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, D. D., Pastor of Westminster Chapel, London, England. Az Újszövetség céljainak négyszeres kijelentése van: Célja van ugyanis · Az Atya kinyilatkoztatásának · A bűn megszüntetésének ; · Az ördög munkái elpusztításának ; · Valamint az a végső cél, hogy Krisztus újabb eljövetele által létre jöjjön Isten Királysága a világban.

Bizonyos értelemben, amikor ezt kimondtuk, az Ő eljövetelének teljes értelmét deklaráltuk. Az Atyáról szóló kinyilatkoztatása e célok felé irányult. Ennek a folyamatnak a része volt a bűn félre tevése, második eljövetele pedig az ördög összes munkájának teljes és végleges megdöntésére szolgál. Kimutatni az Atyát Senki sohasem látta Istent, az egyszülött Isten, aki az Atya kebelén van, ő jelentette őt ki. Jn. 1:1...

The Birds of farmer Joseph

-

 Once a farmer lived in a valley of full bearings. His name was Joseph. He planted fabulous gardens amongst century old trees. His roses and flowery shrubs beckoned the groggy bees from miles. His fruit trees were full of cindrous peaches, flushing pears and honey coloured almonds. People from far countries admired the plants of farmer Joseph. But the neighbouring farmers didn’t envy farmer Joseph for his plants but for his birds. The sounds of twitter always could be heared in his orchard, light of the brilliant colourful feathers blinked from everywhere. The birds stormed from branch to branch. Many people wanted to find out the secret of the farmer. How can it be possible that these many rare birds stay at the farm when the other valleys meet only with ordinary orioles and nightingales? One day a distant friend came to farmer Joseph for a treat. Sure enough he wondered and asked a lot about the birds but the farmer just smiled and didn’t answer him. Nearly one week passed by the...
