Text of the page (random words):
in the trinity that s the idea that one god exists as three persons father son and holy spirit but few even those in evangelical denominations seem to grasp the details of how christians have historically taught the trinity more than half of evangelicals 59 percent for example say the holy spirit is a force not a personal being ten percent are not sure while 31 percent agree the spirit is a person overall two thirds of americans 64 percent say the holy spirit is a force more than 1 in 7 americans 15 percent say the holy spirit is less divine than god the father and jesus a third 33 percent believe god the father is more divine than jesus one in 5 19 percent say jesus was the first creature made by god all of those run counter to christian doctrine as found in historic creeds of the church the state of theology ligonier ministries you and i live in a three dimensional world all physical objects have a certain height width and depth one person can look like someone else or behave like someone else or even sound like someone else but a person cannot actually be the same as another person they are distinct individuals god however lives without the limitations of a three dimensional universe he is spirit and he is infinitely more complex than we are that is why jesus the son can be different from the father and yet the same the bible clearly speaks of god the son god the father and god the holy spirit but emphasizes that there is only one god if we were to use math it would not be 1 1 1 3 it would be 1x1x1 1 god is a triune god http www everystudent com forum trinity html understandably the trinity is an infinitely difficult concept for finite minds to grasp check out the website above and also the link below for more information about this http www desiringgod org articles what is the doctrine of the trinity john 14 16 17 16 and i will ask the father and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever 17 the spirit of truth the world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him but you know him for he lives with you and will be in you it s important to know god and to know what the bible teaches about him

comment tags bible coffee devotional encouragement faith forgiveness god grace hope scripture separation sin so i slammed my thumb with a rubber mallet one day i wasn t being particularly careful because in my mind i was thinking it s a rubber hammer not steel if i hit my finger how bad could it hurt it hurt a lot sin has a way of using the same argument to entice us into doing something we know we shouldn t how bad could it hurt isaiah 59 1 2 niv surely the arm of the lord is not too short to save nor his ear too dull to hear but your iniquities have separated you from your god your sins have hidden his face from you so that he will not hear most of the time when we fail we look at the earthly consequences i ran a red light and got a ticket i didn t study for my test so i received a bad grade i was late for work three days in a row and i got fired we pay attention to those consequences because they are right in front of us the full consequences of sin are not always so obvious we may not discover until much later the depth of its destruction one of the most difficult things to understand is how it affects our relationship with god it s not as though god doesn t expect us to sin he knows how weak we are but when we sin what do we do run and hide pretend like nothing happened unconfessed sin separates us from god it creates a barrier between us and him until we have been reconciled however paul wrote in romans 5 that where sin increased grace increased even more we have a very forgiving father whose arms are always open and ready to receive us when we repent but that s the key isn t it we need to repent a rubber mallet may not appear dangerous but try whacking your finger with one sin needs to be confessed and repented don t assume it is safe to

people raising the mug leave a comment tags art bible devotional encouragement faith god grace inspiration jesus joy life picasso relationships scripture the weeping woman by pablo picasso i have been told that i am an illustrator not an artist an illustrator draws what he sees with his eyes an artist draws what he sees in his mind well that is quite possibly true this is no judgment against modern art or specifically picasso i just don t get it i ve begun a digital art class and one of the assignments was to pick out colors in different pieces of artwork that demonstrated color plasticity huh supposedly there are certain color combinations where colors push and pull at each other huh opposing colors can cause the eye to move across the canvas while others are more static and cause the eye to get stuck in one location huh i ll have to take your word for it i don t get it i eh hem didn t score very high on that test exodus 31 1 6 niv then the lord said to moses 2 see i have chosen bezalel son of uri the son of hur of the tribe of judah 3 and i have filled him with the spirit of god with wisdom with understanding with knowledge and with all kinds of skills 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold silver and bronze 5 to cut and set stones to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of crafts 6 moreover i have appointed oholiab son of ahisamak of the tribe of dan to help him also i have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything i have commanded you god is an artist and he loves beauty he has placed in the hearts and minds of many people the ability to create works of art it is important to define beauty art that is created to shock or horrify or to glorify or elicit sin violence lust greed cannot be called beautiful it is still art but not art that glorifies god art that glorifies god must have the same two properties as the designs created in exodus 31 first it must be artistic that is it must be creative well executed a good representation of the object and well crafted well made it must have worth as an object of value second it should be something of which the artist can say god put it in my heart to make this

by l a photography in animals christianity devotional life people raising the mug 3 comments tags bible christian devotional dullness encouragement faith god hearing hope inspiration jesus miracles power rebellion as i was jogging early this morning before the dawn of time there were a pair of owls hooting to each other as you know this animal does most of its hunting at night how in the world do they find anything in the dark curious i did a little research on owls an owl uses unique sensitive ears to locate prey by listening for prey movements through ground cover such as leaves foliage or even snow when a noise is heard the owl is able to tell its direction because of the minute time difference in which the sound is perceived in the left and right ear for example if the sound was to the left of the owl the left ear would hear it before the right ear the owl then turns its head so the sound arrives at both ears simultaneously then it knows the prey is right in front of it owls can detect a left right time difference of about 0 00003 seconds 30 millionths of a second theowlpages com jump back are you kidding me a 30 millionth of a second that is some very keen hearing some of you may know that i suffer from acute tinnitus ringing in the ears hearing does not come easy for me so when i read about an animal that can hear with such accuracy i can t help but be amazed i can live with dull hearing it may be inconvenient but it doesn t really affect my quality of life what i cannot live with is dullness of the heart both the old testament and the new testament warn us that we can become so dull in our seeing and hearing that we miss the grace of god according to ezekiel it is the result of rebelling against god which hardens our hearts ezekiel 12 2 niv 2 son of man you are living among a rebellious people they have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear for they are a rebellious people mark 8 17 18 niv 17 aware of their discussion jesus asked them why are you talking about having no bread do you still not see or understand are your hearts hardened 18 do you have eyes but fail to see and ears but fail to hear and don t you remember jesus ends this section with a very pertinent question don t you remember that is to say the reason you fail to see and hear is because you have failed to remember something you have forgotten the power of god that you experienced first hand what power was that in this case when jesus fed the multitudes with just a few loaves of bread but all through scripture we see god s mighty hand at work proving time and again that he is the lord of all things to ignore the power of god is in a sense a form of rebellion refusing to hear even though we have the ability how do we ignore god what are some things we do that show god that we don t value what he has to say do we listen when he speaks as you work through this day pay careful attention to what god may be saying to you my mug is up how about yours

comments tags bible devotional encouragement forgiveness grace inspiration jesus love mercy scripture spirituality unity wisdom some things are worth arguing about others are not like for example what color we should paint the walls or what color the carpet will be granted i would just as soon not have hot pink for either but the truth is that whether the wall is pink or blue has no bearing on my spiritual growth or my relationship with god it doesn t bring me any closer or drive me any further away from my father in the christian church there are what some would call disputable matters and those that we could say are indisputable there are some things that are non negotiable if you claim to be a christian for example that jesus is the son of god but there are many many things that ultimately don t matter paul brings this discussion up in romans 14 in this chapter he is not addressing matters of sin he already dealt with that in the first 13 chapters we have been set free from the bondage of sin by the righteousness of christ which has been graciously imparted to us rather he is confronting issues over matters of opinion that could potentially lead to sin let me explain if you look around your congregation on any given sunday morning you will see old people young people and middle aged people if you were to take a survey on the number of years they had been christians you would have some say 40 years while others may say 40 days you have individuals who grew up 10 miles away while others came from somewhere on the other side of the world you have some who only drive pickup trucks while others insist on having a sports sedan you have some who prefer classical music while others only listen to pop rock you should begin to see my point the church is a soup pot
