The Temple of His Body

 “The Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the Covenant, whom you delight in; behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts” (Malachi 3:1). Jesus arrived at the Temple of Jerusalem in John 2. He got an up-close view of the business side of religion. And it […]

Brand New

We all know the awesome experience of seeing something that is pristine, new. It evokes the senses, draws out the appreciation in us, fires the feelings. However, the phenomena of this “new” experience dwindles quickly as “new” becomes “old” in a short amount of time. We know the pattern instinctively. We expect it. Newness in […]

One with the One who is One

“… Walk in manner worthy of the calling to which to you been called …” (Ephesians 4:1). One is the only-iest number according to the Word of God, especially in Chapter 4 of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Sorry for the ancient Three Dog Night pop culture reference there at the start. I couldn’t help […]
