God - The Big Perspective



“in the beginning, God…” (Genesis 1:1, NIV)



God is The singular reality. God alone began and sustains all existence.


He is forever the great “I am.” He is all of history’s “unmoved mover.”

Any understanding of reality not rooted in our personal Creator is fundamentally in error. Trusting in one’s own mental reasoning and the reliability of sensing and understanding the outside world necessarily assumes a reliable and rational Creator. In short, in order to trust in and use our very minds, we must believe in and trust in our Creator and therefore acknowledge our place as created beings.

 The source of truth and of life does not begin with us or with any of our predecessors. Just as the daylight for which we daily depend radiates from the sun, so does life and truth radiate from God, its singular source. The only means for vision is light. The only means for understanding reality is God’s very revelation to us in His Word. Any other source of illumination is fundamentally flawed and unreliable. The Psalmist proclaims: “For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.” (Psalm 36:9, NIV).

God's Word

    As I look back over the last ten years of my life and back to that moment when I memorized Psalm 138:8 in 2003, “ The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever, do not abandon the works of Your hands .” (NIV ’83) I’m reminded of one thing that remained constant throughout those years: God’s word. As I was pursuing various career paths, jobs, classes, businesses, and relationships, one thing remained the same: God, His enduring love, and the faithfulness of His word and His promises. In the midst of all we go through and all we encounter in life, God has given us the unshakable and unchangeable truth of His word. God’s word is truth that endures forever because by His very nature, God is eternal and unchangeable. Jesus said: “ Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away ” (Matt 24:35, NIV) The apostle Peter quoted Isaiah: “ All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the ...

April - May Prayer Letter 2014

Dear friends and family, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend.  Praise God, Jesus is risen indeed!   I just wanted to share a few updates and  prayer  requests for the  Keywi  Card project: Please  pray  for the t rade show in Atlanta, Georgia! This June 22-25,  Keywi  Cards will be exhibiting at the International Christian Retail Show in Atlanta, Georgia ( http://christianretailshow. com/ ).   Nearly every major Christian bookstore retailer and distributor will be there along with many well-know Christian authors and speakers.  A s you can imagine, preparations for this show are quite extensive and I have often felt stressed and overwhelmed over the last few weeks.   I could really use  prayer  for balance, guidance, wisdom, and time management.   There are so many things that still need to be accomplished in a short period of time.  I'm making a catalog, designing hang tags and UPC ...
