To see God is to stand in the highest point of created being. Not until we see God–no partial and passing embodiment of Him, but the abiding Presence–do we stand upon our own mountain top, the height of existence which God has given us, and up to which He is leading us. That there we [...]

Matt 5:8: Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Leave a comment
John 20: 24-31: Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Leave a comment
That You May Believe. And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. Through a debate forum, [...]
Ex 20:8-11: “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work…………..the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Leave a comment
God declared the word, “Let there be…” and all things were created. God’s rest is grounded in the perfection of His work, redemption, and re-creation. God’s rest is thus an expression of His sovereignty and of the absoluteness of His government. Man cannot govern absolutely any aspect of his life or world, but he can [...]
Mal 3:10: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Leave a comment
Emphasize “meat.” The place which is considered a storehouse is to provide weighty deep truths about God. Giving your tithe to a social club that runs under the guise of a church is not the same thing.
Psalms 1:1: “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” Leave a comment
Blessed does not mean happy. Blessed is much deeper than that state of quality of deep inner happiness. It is not dependent on outward circumstances. Not dependent on how you feel. Blessedness is something God establishes within. “Walk” means direction. “Counsel” means plans or purposes. Wicked people are rebellious to God and sinners are confortable [...]
