The plan of God is vastly inclusive in the way that everyone has either had an opportunity, or will have an opportunity to be part of His glorious family and live eternally. The justice built into God’s plan is amazing!

The posturing of a divided U.S. government has reached a point to cause another partial government shutdown. Appearance based upon shallow values, as usual, is the crux of why political parties to draw lines in the sand and make their ideological stands. As Christians, we cannot allow misguided principles to become the root of our beliefs because they will lead us away from the truth.

The teachings of Christ, often referred to as “The Way”, offer mankind balance and a reward of eternal life. True balance does not equate to acceptance of worldly ideals. We must be careful to not fall into the trap of most professing Christians and allow Satanically inspired teachings to lead us away from the path Christ has clearly set before us.

In the Bible, the imaging of hot and cold is applied to love. The warning for Christians is to not let their love fail as evil grows ever more powerful.

Living in a world that is so antagonistic against the Way of God can become wearying. Where can we look to find encouragement when we need it most?

There are many things that we hope for in this life but what is it that we should hope for in the time ahead?  How is our relationship with God and how should we be living our lives at this moment so we can hope for and be part of a much better future?

The power of God is incredible and yet His Word shows us that we can at this time call upon and partake in some of this power now. Once we are a God being we will have the same power that God and Christ have, but we can use this power in small quantities in accordance with their will at this present time. But it takes having a close relationship with them to be able to do so.
