    Human Family, Divine Family Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 21, 2013
     | 7,371 views

    History teaches us that God's loving kindness comes from His essence--His Trinitarian family--and to that we must attract the whole human family.

    Trinity Sunday 2013 Just one week ago, our Archbishop Gustavo announced plans for our Catholic community here in South Texas. It is fitting that on this Trinity Sunday, when we celebrate the core mystery of our religion, we contemplate the third core value, “unity.” The text reads: ...read more

    The marginal people storm into the church, insisting that the church should live up to the pattern offered by Jesus. They rock the boat, and in so doing they force the church to remember its reason for being.

    There is a story of a group of the very pious who are waiting in heaven for judgment. As they are waiting and complaining about the wait, they begin to see some of the “sinners” they knew on earth coming into the waiting room: a corrupt politician, an itinerant woman who had been ...read more

    What is our greatest human need? Maslow has a theory. But what does God's theory say?

    In 1943 a man by the name of Abraham Maslow wrote a paper entitled A Theory of Human Motivation. In this paper Maslow developed a theory known as the hierarchy of needs. It has become perhaps the most popular theory relating to human needs. If you were to take a class or course in the field of ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,226 views

    If God ordains whatsoever shall come to pass, does that mean that He is also the author of evil and sin? We have a look at human evil and the role it plays in Gods eternal plan for us.

    Psalm 135 Is God responsible for human evil Over the last few weeks we have been looking at providence and what that means to us today. We saw in the first lesson that providence means that God sees everything, past, present and future, and He sees what causal effect every single action or ...read more

     | 6,640 views

    If God ordains whatsoever shall come to pass, what role do humans play in the greater picture? Are we merely puppets on a string or is the some sort of freedom we have to choose God?

    What about human freedom? This is a very interesting topic, and there are a variety of answers that should actually be considered, and hopefully we will look at the main points during the course of our service this morning. I’m not going to be doing any recapping today, simply to say that ...read more

    Galatians is all about grace and is the antidote to legalism. For Paul, it was about Christ crucified and his becoming a slave to Christ and not the Law.

    APROVAL OF HUMAN BEINGS OR GOD Galatians 1 I once attended a worship event and before the speaker took the stage a choral group was singing. I was to lead a prayer before the speaker began, so I was silently worshipping and reflecting on my words for the prayer. As the choral group sang a very ...read more

    The fundamental problem of humanity never hits the headlines, never comes as a blast e-mail to our computers. But we know what it is.

    Psalm 51 What is the fundamental human problem? We can’t get the answer from commentators or the mainstream media, or even most of the alternate media. The fundamental human problem is not poverty, or migration, or nuclear weapons or climate change. Those may be difficulties that rise to the ...read more

    We live in interesting times. It seems that if we don't live in the time of the Four Horsemen, that time will, surely, be soon.

    CHAPTER 6 v. 1. I saw as the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four Living Ones saying with a huge voice “Come and see”, and I saw a white horse, and the one riding upon it had a bow, and he was given strength, and he went having victory and to be victorious. v. 3.

    based on 5 ratings

    Adam, son of God, failed in the Garden. Israel, son of God, rebelled in the wilderness. Jesus the Son of God, on behalf of us all, won the battle against temptation in the wilderness. Believers in Jesus are also called sons of God, so how must we live?

    A SECOND CHANCE FOR THE HUMAN RACE. Luke 4:1-13. Man was always going to get a second chance after the Fall of Adam. God made a promise concerning the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15), and ‘that seed was Christ’ (cf. Galatians 3:16; Galatians 3:29). We see in the temptation of Jesus a new Adam ...read more

    God is intimate with His creation. God is very intimate with the Believer. In the intimacy of the divine and the believer there is fellowship and dialogue. It is this intimacy with the living God that makes the believer unique in the world.
