Creation was good! In a scene of the television show ‘Joan of Arcadia’(which is not always theologically correct by the way) Joan asks God to prove that He is God. He asks Joan, “now.. how might I do that?” She says, “do a miracle or something.” God says, “what about that,” as He points to a

The English word "image" in the Greek is like our word icon. Now you know from your computer that an icon is a little picture that represents a larger program. In the same way, Jesus is a man who represents the fullness of God. He not only represents God, He is God.
Another way the word was used

In understanding the new reality in Christ with the law, Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) explained it in this way:
“What is God’s law now? It is not above a Christian-it is under Christian. Some men hold God’s law like a rod, in terror, over Christians, and say, “If you sin you will be punished with

When Steve and I went to Germany to live, I didn’t know any German, and I knew so little about what it was like to live in Germany that I set out to live there with what I now see as an unbelievably naive optimism that was close to sheer stupidity in its ignorance. Sure I’d seen Germany on TV, and
