A timeless moment when we love God and others made in His image. The essence of eternal life now and hereafter.
'And this is eternal life, that you may know Him.'

DISCIPLES
Through the good news we are called to follow the teachings of God, enlarging our thoughts and taking us out of ourselves in order to obey God and love and draw others made in His image to follow His ways too.
We do this enabled by the Spirit of the Indwelling Christ who is forming us into His image, the ultimate purpose of God.
'Go into all the world and make disciples....teaching them to observe whatsoever I have commanded you. And lo I am with you always.'

FEAST OF LOVE
Joy is the calling card of the Kingdom of Heaven, inviting us to a feast with the King of Love.
The Song of Solomon is the theme tune.

AN EMPTY COSMOS
Only by accountability and moral order can society survive. We are realising the bankruptency of self-rule but there is no authority to rule in its place. Man has no bearings to give him identity and no ability of self-denial for the benefit of others.
He has lost his theological template, declaring he has no need of God.
Each man is his own avatar and designs his own cosmos. Atheists seem not able to comprehend that God exists whether we need Him or not.
Humanistic science has done away with God. Technology does away with man.
Only when man understands his true place in the cosmic order as made in the image of God, is there hope for the future.

GRAZES
When we are grazed and bruised by life we must apply the balm of wisdom. Truth gathered through the ages, smooth pebbles rounded by many waters.

CELEBRATION
God celebrates His creation, declaring it is good; the creation of man as very good.
He delights in His only begotten Son, the mastercraftsman of His world.
The Son rejoices before His Father and finds His delight in man.
Proverbs 8
It is into this celebration that will culminate at the wedding feast of the Lamb, that God would draw all His creatures. Abundant life is promised here and now as the gospel goes forth from those who celebrate the love and light Christ brings.
Perhaps the question we should continually ask is, 'does what I am doing help me to celebrate the life I have in Christ?'

TWO PATHS TO VIRTUE
Philosophy seeks salvation coming from within man, living out a virtuous life above fear.
Christians seek to live out the salvation they already have by faith, becoming a new man in Christ, the only true virtuous man. The only fear that of grieving God.
'Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.'
Philippians 2 vs 12,13.

DECEPTION
Through the ages evil has the same skeleton but fashions different cloaks to cover death. The name of the designer is Satan, the father of lies, the great deceiver. It is this deception we must fear above all.
Paul's description of the armour God provides is no mere stirring story but highlights the sober facts of our warfare.
