Privilege And Responsibility For The Hopeful.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 1, 2023

What we are, and whose we are will not be fully evident until the Lord returns for His own. Then we shall see Him as He is. Then we shall be transformed, and fully conformed to His image.

PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HOPEFUL. 1 John 3:1-3. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 John 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other ...read more

Storing Up Treasure In Heaven

Built Up, Bound Up, Lifted Up

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 16, 2010

We are so into upward mobility; but God's version is different. It involves building us up so that the powerless have power; binding up the wounded so that they can understand brokenness; and lifting us up so that we can use our power for others.

I can remember when the word "furlough" was a happy word. It was a happy word because it meant that somebody in your family was coming home from military duty for a while. "Furlough" for me brings up a memory of standing, as a small boy, in Union Station in Louisville, waiting for the train to ...read more
