The Harmonization of God and Science by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 31, 2012 at 11:05 am By editorconvergingzone

There is no real contradiction between the world of science and the world of religion. The two are dealing with two different things, but they are not in conflict with each other, they are not antagonists. Theologians are trying to describe the Creator; scientists are trying to describe His creation. Science and religion should be viewed as family in their ability to support one another. Science and theology must not be viewed as mutually exclusive forms in regards to humanity,... Read more

“Deers Cry” by St. Patrick

Last updated on: October 29, 2012 at 11:02 pm By editorconvergingzone

I love this song, lyrics are shown too. Sung by Ireland’s Rita Connolly “The Deer’s Cry”, attributed to St Patrick, is known by several names: “The Breastplate of St Patrick” and “Lorica” to mention two. It is a beautiful prayer celebrating a God who lives with his children, guiding them, sheltering them, strengthening them. A God who is with us and in us through his Creation. In 1994 Irish composer Shaun Davey put a section of the Breastplate to some... Read more

The Great Fear and the Great Faith by R.J. Rushdoony

Last updated on: October 29, 2012 at 11:05 am By editorconvergingzone

Otto J. Scott, in Robespierre, The Voice of Virtue, calls attention to all important phenomenon of the French Revolution, The Great Fear. At a certain point, as corrosion began to destroy all forms of social order, wild rumors circulated through all of France. Fears of invasion, of disintegration, and chaos “destroyed the sense of stability and security essential to civilized patterns and orderly ways.” Evil seemed to have become incarnate and dominant over history. “There was a general, unexpressed sense that a...

God In Us, For Us, and Through Us by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 29, 2012 at 7:59 am By editorconvergingzone

A deepening sense of God as imminent, present, here, and now, reveals the reality of God in us, God for us, and God through us. God becomes more intimate to us than we are to ourselves, and increasingly becomes more of who we actually are. We begin to recognize that the deepest part of who we are is God. God is no longer “out there,” and God himself is our counselor, and both day and night our innermost being instructs... Read more

Perception: Creating Your Reality by Alan Smith

Last updated on: October 28, 2012 at 12:55 am By editorconvergingzone

Matt. 12:22-24: Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?” Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.” Perception: what a “word”! How can this “word” be worthy of writing about,... Read more

God is Not in Control By Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 25, 2012 at 9:32 am By editorconvergingzone

Presuppositions are not absolute truth The title “God is Not in Control” may at first glance shock you, but let me explain. There are many believers that have fallen into a deterministic world-view. This view presupposes that all things regarding the people of God have already been determined, and that He is in control of all things. This presupposition directly opposes the reality of what the Word of God actually teaches us about the Father and His choosing to give... Read more

Failure Remains an Illusion for Those Who Do Not Quit by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 25, 2012 at 8:45 am By editorconvergingzone

Often times the most dramatic conflicts we face are not with others those but are actually struggles within ourselves. If we can win the struggle within we can begin to see less conflict and more victory. Every obstacle we face is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way we think about our challenges can defeat us before we ever attempt to do anything about it. We can be overcome by... Read more

You are Launching Your Eternal Journey by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 24, 2012 at 3:42 pm By editorconvergingzone

The Way, the Truth, the Life in Christ is not a place of landing, but a place of launching. It is a journey of knowing, and the Way of knowing has no ending as it is a constant flow of life and of being the life. Being in Christ along the Way does not end in death as death is just a departure from one dimension of life and into another. God knew about you before you were even shaped... Read more

Warning: The World is Watching How We Christians Treat One Another by Frank Viola

Last updated on: October 23, 2012 at 2:18 pm By editorconvergingzone

Recently, someone asked me the following question. “Frank, if I had to summarize your ministry, it would be that Jesus is more than we ever imagined and we can learn to live by His life which is evidenced by treating others the way we want to be treated. Would you say that this is accurate?” My answer: “Yes, that sums it up well.” These two themes are underscored and unpacked in Revise Us Again, Jesus Manifesto, and Beyond Evangelical. Not...
