Many believers (and unbelievers alike) have asked themselves, How can one live the Christian life? How can a man pray unceasingly? How can a human being be different and express God? Humanly, this is impossible. But because all the genuine believers in Christ have God’s divine life in them, it is possible. The way to […]
As Frail and Mortal Men We can Call on the Name of the Lord to Enjoy His Riches
October 30, 2013 by 3 Comments
Many times when we read the Bible we take things for granted and so we miss a lot of important things that God wants to speak to us. In Gen. 4:26 for instance we see an important landmark in human history – at the time of Enosh, mankind started to call on the name of Jehovah. […]
Seeing how Religion was Invented, What Religion Does, and the Result of Religion
October 29, 2013 by 5 Comments
I have always been puzzled by the record in Genesis 4 concerning Cain and Abel bringing an offering to God – how come Cain took the lead to do it, he worked really hard to present something to God, and he was all-in-all “a good person”, but God rejected his offering? On the other hand, […]

Seeing what God has Done to Obtain the Church as His Counterpart to Match Him
October 16, 2013 by 2 Comments
God desires to obtain a counterpart, someone who would match Him in every possible way and who loves Him to the uttermost. In order for God to produce such a complement for Himself, He did certain things. First of all, He created the heavens and the earth, the plants, the animals, and man. We see […]
Adam and Eve are a Type of Christ and the Church: “It is Not Good for God to Be Alone”
October 15, 2013 by 2 Comments
Adam and Eve in Genesis 2 are a type of Christ and the church (see Eph. 5:23-26). The real “man” in the universe is not Adam but Christ – Christ is the real universal Husband who is seeking a wife for Himself. Throughout the Bible we can see how God in Christ is courting man […]
