So will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed………Luke 17:30
(I grabbed this verse out of it's context because it made me think of the Lord’s revealing in a different way, and I wanted to share this with you.) The way this verse is worded makes me think of the idea differently. The day of the Lord, the second coming, when Jesus returns…. they all sound different from “The day when the Son of Man is revealed…” Continue reading “When the Son of Man is Revealed”
Take heed, and beware of covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. – Jesus, Luke 12:15, RSV
In business, we are encouraged to develop a process that will provide self sustaining growth. In part, our fallen nature wants this because we don’t want to actively follow the Lord. We want, like the rich man in the familiar parable, to be at ease in the abundance of our crops. Jesus said that this was a comfort that flows from deception. The main take away here is the view we get from the Lord on this guy’s psychological perspective.

This is not the true measure of life, and we should not take security / comfort, or seek to them, in possessions.

Yet, there is more on the calendar of God than increasing judgments and the rapture. There will also be the advance and establishing of God’s kingdom (Dan.2:44; Matt. 24:14; Matt. 13). A spiritually mature people will serve as the vanguard of His kingdom. Before the Lord is glorified in the earth, He shall be glorified in the church (see Isa. 60:1-3; Eph. 5:27). Indeed, the attainment of Christlike maturity in those who pursue the Lord shall not be a mere sidebar on the scroll of end-time events; it will be the main attraction.

As Christians, how are we different? I was driving to the post office to drop off some mail that the guys in Puebla asked me to drop for them, and I passed a person in a car that I thought I recognized. Big shades, big hair, expected vibe from the target age group, etc., etc.. Continue reading “How Different Are We?”
