    God is holy and just. He judges sin without compromise. He rules fairly and none can fault his judgement. But God delights more in mercy. His mercy endures forever. He is tender in mercy.

    Your World - Own It! Series

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on May 10, 2020
     | 2,887 views

    The garden was given to man as a ‘rectangle of control’; a world in which were rules, guidelines, and established systems. Man was placed there to ‘dress it’ and care for it. Man was given full and direct charge over that garden and EVERYTHING in it.

    To own something is to acknowledge it as belonging to one’s self; recognized as having full claim, authority, power, dominion… even to have or hold as one’s own; to possess. Now… how one came about the ownership does not change the ownership, itself. Don’t let the two intertwine, for now. The ...read more

     | 1,014 views

    How does God view man? Why was man created? God wanted man, living in the Spirit, to rule the earth and conquer Satan. He wanted mere man, made from the dust of the earth, to have dominion.

    Religion is about keeping and maintaining laws and traditions, but Jesus nullifies these rules and regulations in favor of a relationship, and within that relationship all the laws of God are contained and worked out. It is through this relationship that we can get to the heart of God.

    James is not the James who was one of the 12 apostles and killed by Herod Agrippa I in the YEAR AD 44. Instead, James was the half-brother of Jesus (Matt. 13:55), the one who was a leader of the Jerusalem church (Acts 15:13; Gal. 1:19), the one Paul called a pillar in the church (Gal. 2:9).
