God speaks in ways we can understand
He guides us toward an eternity with him
By Steve Hall
Click here to read Steve Hall's reflection from June 29, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
In the Scriptures, we find God frequently speaking to people. Some can receive more attention than others, such as kings and prophets, and some get more space in the text than others. But it is not as if no one else receives his word. God adapts according to the circumstances of the time and our receptiveness.
Steve Hall's reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
We're not able to limit or destroy God
To think differently is akin to insanity. We can only sabotage him.
Click here to read John Pearring's reflection from July 29, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
God’s power relationship to us, decisively so, is modeled by our parents. A “love God or hate God” premise isn’t a power struggle, but a decision. Our parents are supposed to “image” God in our lives. Varying percentages of success by our parents’ collaboration and cooperation with God form our attitudes about the goodness of God. Those attitudes may be adopted by us, but we make our own way. We adapt them to fit how we choose to deal with God.
John Pearring's reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." (Luke 10:2)
