God’s Love and a Royal Wedding
Love and Christ’s Commandment
The royal wedding in England in 2018 viewed by over 30 million viewers was a brilliant spectacle. But perhaps the meaning of the biblical passages cited in the wedding message were not understood by most. So, what did the apostle John really mean when he wrote about love, “agape?” Jesus the Messiah came to bring a “new” covenant and a “new” commandment to his followers. But in reality these “new” things were “renewed or refreshed,” for they had a long history. Loving one another was a very old commandment! But it was renewed and given greater meaning through Jesus’ example of self-sacrifice. As disciples, this type of love was going to be the proof of authenticity, of a Christian. Followers of Christ would be known by their loving obedience to God’s will. And, their unselfish concern for the welfare of others. Are you one of them? More

TRUTH BYTES — PSALMS 7-8
God Delivers the Just
O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me
Psalm 7:1-5
We can have confidence when we live faithfully. For then we can trust God will deliver us.
God Knows our Heart
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds. 10 My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart. God is a just judge,
Psalm 7:9-11
We rely on God because, unlike false deities, he knows our heart and mind – our motivation. He is just and cannot be bought, or bribed.
God Hates Injustice
God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day. 12 If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready. 13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
Psalm 7:11-13
God remedies injustice. So don’t worry over the injustice that is outside of your control.
Delusion Begets Misery
The wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood. 15 He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made. 16 His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown. Psalm 7:14-16
When people embrace a lie, they blame God for troubles that are merely cause and effect.
Just Dust — Without God
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, 4 What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
Psalm 8:3-4
As physical beings we are insignificant. But God has given us a grand purpose that is beyond our ability to grasp fully.
A Crown Demands Responsibility
For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honour.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet…
Psalm 8:5-8
You are crowned with glory and honour by God. Care for his creation.
Comments Off on Searching for the Spirit — Series, Videos, by CGP.
Confusion abounds when it comes to the nature of God’s spirit, The Holy Spirit. “Ruach” in Hebrew and “pneuma” in Greek can both be translated as Spirit, spirit, wind, or breath, depending upon the context in the scripture. Some theologians or translators would have you believe that the Spirit is a “Holy Ghost,” or the Third Person in a Trinity? But is this the truth?
What is the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Power, the Comforter, the Voice of the spirit and how does it work in the world? Why, as Christians, is it vitally important for us to understand the role of the Spirit in our walk with God? This series will answer these questions and many more. Learn what you need to know about the power of God’s Spirit in your life.
It takes real detective work when searching for the Spirit of God. Often those who have rejected the “orthodox” belief about the spirit are considered illiterate at best, and heretics at worst. But, we must not base our understanding on tradition or hearsay. The real test is, “What do the scriptures say?” And, according to the apostle Paul, “All scripture was “breathed-out” by God. Peter confirmed that it was the spirit that led the prophets to speak and write God’s words. So, it is these words that inform, train, and discipline those who are now being led by the spirit. More

A New World is Coming – a Vision for Pentecost
Is a better world coming? If we believe the prophesies of Isaiah, we have hope of a new world in the future. But this world will not come until God’s spirit is poured out on all people. This change will not come until the Messiah returns. It will come when the Spirit of the Lord, the spirit of knowledge and wisdom and righteousness, rules with justice and fairness. And, the Spirit of power transforms the very nature of the animal kingdom — so they will no longer hurt or destroy. A time of transformation is coming. Are you preparing for that time? More

Spirit of Truth
God’s Spirit loves the truth. And, it is this Spirit of the Truth that is given to all those who love God and keep his commandments. How do we know this? Jesus in talking to his disciples before he died, reassured them that they would not be alone. He promised them that they would not be left as orphans. Why? Because Jesus’ Father would send them the Spirit to comfort them. The Spirit of Truth would be their helper, their advocate, before the Father. So they could walk with God. And the disciples needed to know this, as their world was about to be turned upside-down. They were about to be witnesses to the truth of the resurrection. And, it would be the truth, even if no one else would believe it.
Is God’s spirit of truth convicting us of the truth, as it did the disciples almost 2000 years ago? More
Comments Off on Searching for the Spirit 4 — Living Waters, Videos, by CGP.
The Spirit “Poured out”
God’s spirit of wisdom is personified in the Proverbs as a woman of dignity and honour. “Wisdom” is concerned about the health and happiness of her people. She raises her voice and implores her people to transform their lives by listening to God’s instructions. She envisions the future time when God’s Spirit will be poured out on the remnant of the people that would listen to God’s call to repentance and transformation. Are we hearing the Spirit of Wisdom and Truth and walking with the Spirit at our side? More
Comments Off on Searching for the Holy Spirit 3 — Sharing Spiritual Resources, Videos, by CGP.
The Power of the Spirit
We have seen in Genesis that the Spirit is not a person of a “trinity,” but the power of God – God’s spiritual resources. It was by His Spirit that God created the universe and brought light into the world. The scripture explains that the Spirit is the power that gives us the desire to do what is right. It helps us discern between good and evil. And, it guides us along God’s path and gives us the wisdom to do God’s will. In the future, God will judge the world by his Spirit of truth. Do you have God’s spiritual resources? More
