Click here to read John Pearring's reflection from September 9, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
For those of us fraught with authority issues, we must back off when it comes to Jesus. We may have had problems with our parents, librarians, and traffic cops, but there’s no appeals court or argument with the head of every principality and power. We can’t get any higher authority than God. His power and love need no court.
John Pearring's reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." (Luke 10:2)
God: There was no Plan 'B'
'While we were yet helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly'
By Steve Hall

The Divine Plan, insofar as it deals with material things, is actualized in a step-by-step manner. That is characteristic of material things. And, therefore, the plan that affects material creation must unfold over a period of time, and it must happen in the appropriate order.
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)
