Remembering Joseph: Rethinking Righteousness by Frank Viola

Last updated on: December 21, 2010 at 5:10 pm By editorconvergingzone

When the nativity story is told, we mostly hear about Mary, the mother of Jesus. For centuries, Mary has been extolled and honored, as she should be. Joseph, however, has often been regarded as a mere footnote to the story. Today, I’d like to give Joseph his due. By my lights, Joseph was one of the most righteous men who ever lived. Now when most modern Christians think of a “righteous man,” they think of things like being a good... Read more

God’s Igniting Flame for Your Life by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 21, 2010 at 5:25 am By Robert Ricciardelli

Many today are perplexed and confused about the ways of God. Some have had a vision that God has yet to fulfill, and have now lost hope. Many have impatiently turned to their own devices when it is only God who can ignite His flame on His destiny for them. No man lit the burning bush in the days of Moses and no man can ignite the flame of His vision for your life. Be expectant for God to fan... Read more

Redeeming Disillusionment by Stephen Crosby

Last updated on: December 20, 2010 at 8:42 pm By editorconvergingzone

Disillusionment has always been a common malady for the Lord’s followers. The early church expected the literal return of the Lord in their lifetime. When it didn’t happen, they needed the encouragement that comes from a major adjustment in their expectation and understanding. Much of the NT was written to psychologically encourage and theologically adjust the saints. The book of Hebrews is a great example of a letter written to a people who were ready to “chuck it” because things... Read more

Embracing All of Creation by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: December 20, 2010 at 1:15 am By Robert Ricciardelli

The Spirit of Christ embraces all of creation. In him were created all things in heaven and on earth; everything visible and everything invisible, all things created through Him and for Him, and in Him all things hold together. Therefore with His Spirit within us, our hearts embrace not only all people but all of creation. Love removes all fear and prejudice, while welcoming and gathering in all that belongs to God.

What is Man? by Dudley Hall

Last updated on: December 18, 2010 at 7:02 am By editorconvergingzone

What is man, that you are mindful of him…Hebrews 2:6 (ESV) After discussing the nature of Christ in the first chapter of the epistle, the author of Hebrews now addresses the nature of man. This order is proper. No one will ever understand the nature and purpose of mankind without understanding the true nature of God through Christ. The confusion among the millions regarding mankind can be traced to their refusal to first embrace God as the Creator and Sustainer... Read more

Christ: The Secret Place of the Most High by Chip Brogden

Last updated on: December 17, 2010 at 7:58 pm By editorconvergingzone

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Ps. 91:1) If the Bible is primarily a spiritual book, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and to be interpreted and discerned by spiritual men and women, then the natural explanation of things is insufficient to get at the real truth contained within its pages. In the mind of the Spirit everything points us to Christ – there is no compartmentalization, there... Read more
