Apocalyptic Thinking by John Garfield

Last updated on: July 23, 2012 at 11:06 am By editorconvergingzone

Whether people are left or right, secular and religious, there is a trend in America right now to think that the sky is falling. I read The Last Myth by Gross and Gilles. They make an excellent point about what apocalyptic thinking tells us about America. The topics vary: the rapture, economic collapse, failure of the dollar, wars, earthquakes, hurricanes, terrorism, overpopulation, abortion, peak oil, and global warming. In the absence of any agreement or consensus about a path forward toward a... Read more

The Son & The Bride – Inheritance & Intimacy by Tricia Exman

Last updated on: July 20, 2012 at 11:09 am By texman

There are 2 primary relational allusions in the New Covenant for believers. While there are others, such as being priests and kings, the ones that were the most revolutionary to Jesus’ followers and contain the greatest revelation are being a son and a bride. Why are these significant? In the Old Covenant, the primary relational “positions” between God and His people were the roles of priest and king. Both of these roles were consummated in Jesus as both the final... Read more

Being You For the Audience of One by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: July 16, 2012 at 7:01 am By editorconvergingzone

Believe in how much God loves you. Give God permission to love you today. Simply close your eyes and whisper, “Father, I give you permission to work in my life, and to illuminate the very best steps for me to take.” Do not worry about competing with others. Do not worry about what the rest of the pack is doing. You are an amazing creation that has been designed for great things, and designed for the glory of God that... Read more

Life of Stewardship and Not Ownership by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: July 15, 2012 at 9:02 am By editorconvergingzone

If you look at yourself as being one with God who holds the keys to life, your life becomes one of stewardship rather than ownership. Stewardship is the truest perspective for those who have entrusted themselves to their God. If you have debts, whose debt is it when you are in union with God? Whose money is it? What about the challenges you face? As stewards for the Almighty, we never have to take complete ownership of our debts, money,... Read more

Daniel: The Importance of Being Relevant and Subversive by Richard Dahlstrom

Last updated on: July 12, 2012 at 12:06 pm By editorconvergingzone

Theology should be done with the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other – Karl Barth My “coffee with God” times are taking me through the book of Daniel these days, and I’ve been refreshed by finding a model for what it actually means to live right in the thick of culture without allowing oneself to be taken captive by culture. Daniel had some food limitations that were presumably related to his Jewish faith, and held to those... Read more

You are an Agent of the Divine by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: July 12, 2012 at 10:22 am By editorconvergingzone

You are an agent of the Divine, you are an agent for God. Through the power of God’s presence, you have the opportunity to represent the loving image of God by how you live, how you love, and how you relate with others. Think of yourself as an incandescent power, an illuminated lighthouse for the works of God on earth revealing His glory. We all flow from one foundation and are filled with unlimited potential of abiding love, truth, and... Read more

Walking Right Past Fear Confidently by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: July 6, 2012 at 11:47 am By editorconvergingzone

You always have a choice on how you respond to fear. You can cave into it, struggle with it, accept it, reject it, or work around it. You always have a choice, a choice you can make consistently, or a choice that changes based on what you sense may be best for you in the moment. Fear can become habitual and it brings the fantasy of what might happen into our current reality. Unsupported fear is much like a hot... Read more

This Amazing Freedom We Have Been Given! by James Ryle

Last updated on: July 6, 2012 at 9:42 am By editorconvergingzone

“Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you.” (Galatians 5:1, The Message). Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” Why then is it that so many who preach and teach the truth seem so bound up with religious shackles? Not only that, they seem equally intent on seeing to it that others are as bound up as... Read more

You Don’t Know How FREE You Are! by Kelly Deppen

Last updated on: July 4, 2012 at 12:57 pm By editorconvergingzone

We need to get a full revelation of how Free we are! Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” KJV “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” NIV Paul’s apostolic words ring through all time and all realms to reach you and I today:... Read more
