Fully Live and Die Empty by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 7, 2011 at 5:28 am By Robert Ricciardelli

Sowing today becomes seeds for tomorrow. What we sow in body must die before it is given new life; and what we sow today in our earthly bodies is a bare grain of wheat compared to God’s eternal glory. We will be unique much like we are today because God, who loves each of us individually, will give us bodies that shine His glory through our uniqueness in Him. We live full, die empty, and live forever in His fullness.... Read more

Our Eternal Significance by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 6, 2011 at 7:49 am By Robert Ricciardelli

Regardless of our journey’s past or present, we are not to be pitied. Followers of Christ can look far beyond the limits of our short life in this dimension of life on earth. Nothing we are living now, or have lived in the past will go to waste in the fullness of eternity, as God makes it work out good for us. Our significance is derived from the reality of eternity now and forever through our life in the Spirit.... Read more

Experience God in the Waiting by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 4, 2011 at 10:04 am By Robert Ricciardelli

We must be remain soberly patient for the Lord’s divine providence to arrive. We can chase experiences that clutter our lives, or be stuffed with news media hoopla to the point of losing our spiritual sensitivity, discernment and disciplines. We can become stagnate and be tempted to indulge in whatever gives us momentary pleasure. We are to remain present with Him in our hearts, and experience Him in the waiting. Read more

Expectation Is Often Not Easy by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 3, 2011 at 10:21 pm By Robert Ricciardelli

Waiting in expectation does not always get easier with age. With youthful hopes and dreams seemingly unfulfilled, we can become cynical or self-satisfied. As we mature in God we should be able to wait with even greater patience and ever-increasing expectation. It is knowing God’s immeasurable favor through Christ, and seeing the Kingdom, the power, and the glory of God continuing to expand in us and all around us. Read more

Waiting With Joyful Expectation by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 3, 2011 at 3:28 am By Robert Ricciardelli

When we wait on God we wait with joyful expectation. Without expectation we can become hopeless in our present moment. When we wait expectantly, we open ourselves up to joy and strength. We remain awake and alert for the Lord’s leading presence. We throw off the darkness and equip ourselves for His oncoming light. The expectation of God’s promises allows us to be present and ready at all times, and for any occasion. Read more

Justice For All by Al Houghton

Last updated on: January 2, 2011 at 6:37 pm By editorconvergingzone

Ephesians 4 presents a key to moving God’s hand for justice. When it states in verses 9 and 10, “Now this, ‘He ascended’—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.” Jesus lived a pattern that when reproduced in us qualifies us to walk in the Kingly office and move God’s judicial...

No More Sin Consciousness by Stephen R. Crosby

Last updated on: January 2, 2011 at 5:52 pm By editorconvergingzone

The scope of the change from the Old to the New Covenant era has been debated since the first days of the church-even before Jew/Gentile and legalism issues. The apostles had the unenviable task of trying to simultaneously claim continuity and discontinuity with the Old Covenant Scriptures. They had to wrestle with: “How, and to what degree have things changed?” It wasn’t an easy job then. It’s not an easy job now, and to this day, has never been fully... Read more
