Eternally Minded

His name is Jesus Christ. About 2000 years ago, God the Son (the second person of the trinity) clothed Himself in human flesh-- 100% God and 100% Man. He humbled Himself to our human state and was born of a virgin in a borrowed stable. Jesus grew and lived the perfect life we couldn’t. He suffered the temptations we have, but never gave in. His thoughts, motives, emotions, and actions were all kept perfectly holy. He mission on earth was to heal the sick, seek the lost, and rescue the perishing. His mission was to serve, not to be served - to set up a heavenly kingdom, not an earthly kingdom. His whole life led to one event, the event that would provide a way to be made right with God. Jesus Christ willingly was crucified on a cross for accusations that were false. He was beaten and stripped. He wore a crown of thorns and was hung on a wooden cross by nails in His hands and feet. But greater than this was the wrath of God poured out on Him for our sins. The judgement we ...

Adam and Eve, the first humans created, committed the first sin at the beginning of time. God had given them a perfect garden in a perfect world, with no sin. He gave them only one rule: not to eat of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil which He placed in the center of the garden. The Devil, Lucifer, an angel fallen from heaven, came to Eve as a serpent, and tempted her to eat the fruit of that tree. Eve yielded to him and furthermore Adam did the same. That was the first sin. You may think that if it was you in that situation, you wouldn’t do it. Don’t think that. We are all born with a sin nature. We are pressured with temptation every day. Whether we fall into it or not determines if we sin.  From the beginning it was God’s design for us to live with Him in perfect union. We were to reflect and represent God throughout the whole earth and therefore spread His glory throughout the world. God would walk and talk with us. We would be His people and He would be our G...

Providence. What is providence? Of what relevance is God's providence? Providence simply means to foresee. Pro [before] / videre [to see]. But what good is knowing the future and not doing anything about it? God's providence ties in with His omniscience (all knowing). He sees beforehand everything that is going to happen. Not only that, He knows it and orchestrates it. That being said, if God is truly in control and orbiting every action and circumstance, both for us and around us, why on earth do we have any ground at all to worry? About anything? Simple answer? We don't. "Worry is taking your problems out of God's hands and into your own because deep down you don't think He's capable enough to take care of them." - Voddie Baucham Worry is a sin. Anxiety is a sin. Whatever happened to trusting God, wholly and completely? Easier said than done. Trust me, I know. I'm a worrier. It's probably genetic, but that's no excuse. Consider Ro...
