New title: Finding God in Everyday

  You will notice a difference in the blog title: it is now Finding God in Everyday. I still have a passion for the godly life, but many of you are attempting to seek hope in the world today. There is so much going on in the world to make many of us fearful of the future. With all of the violence, sex trafficking, geopolitical problems and so on, it can make us fearful of our future on earth.

   My hope as I take this blog into a new phase, that I will be able to provide (at least) weekly words of encouragement from a biblical perspective.

   One of the more interesting things that I have discovered in the years that I have read the Scriptures is how you can read a passage 100 times, and discover new meanings every time. I have been researching the Gospel of John for some study material; and the first words of that book just stand out for me.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God

and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing 

was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life

was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but 

the darkness has not understood it." (John 1:1-5)(NIV)

   This is talking about the Bible, but it is also talking about Christ. The gospel of John is the book that focuses more on the ministry of Christ on Earth rather than on the birth of Christ. The Bible and the Trinity were all there in the beginning...just let that sink in. John was the intelligent one: he knew his purpose was to be the precursor to the arrival of Jesus on Earth. But in Heaven, the Trinity was all there from the beginning. 

Without the Godhead being at the beginning of the universe, there would have been no hope for us if it was set up any other way. I am encouraged in the knowledge of these verses being the assurance that everything is going to be all right (no matter what goes on in our world right now)!
