Mother's Day and the Mother Heart of God

-

Altough God has revealed Himself as Father and we call Him our Heavenly Father, and Although Jesus was the Son of God, God does have a feminine side; or better yet, since God is the Creator, and He made us in His image, it is better to say, "God revealed part of Himself when He created the women/feminity. One place where this truth could not be more clear but is often missed is in the Gospel of Luke, chaper 15. In this Chapter, Jesus tells three parables in a row. The last parable is probably the most well known, "The Parable of the Prodigal Son." In this parable God is represented by the father in the story; thus, God the Father is depicted here. The second parable, "The Parable of the Lost Sheep" is also well known. Here God is represented by the Shephard; thus, Jesus, the Good Shephard. So, we have God the Father and God the Son represented in these parables, but smack-dab in the middle of these two parables is "The Parable of the Lost Coin." In this parable, God is represented by the woman who lights the house and sweeps it clean until she finds the lost coin--Here we see the Holy Spirit, the Great Illuminator who shines God's light into our hearts. Here we see that the Holy Spirit is revealed in the feminine. The Holy Spirit is called the comforter...who do we run to for comfort when we are kids? Momma? For the most part. Jesus tells us that the Spirit gives birth to spirit. In the opening chapters of the Scriptures, God says, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them." So on this Mother's day, remember that the "motherly instinct", that unconditional, undying love that we have experienced from our mom's is but a small glimpse of the eternal, undying love of God. He put it there in the mom's hearts as a reflection of His image.....

The Conviciton Myth

The great news that a believer is under no condemnation is often squelched with the statement, and I have heard it often, "God does not condemen us when we sin, but He will convict us." Really? Is that what the Scriptures teach? As baby Christians, we so often buy hookline and sinker things that are said by preachers, teachers or "mature" Christians because the "BIBLE" says its true. I have found and have been guilty of the same thing, that many folks know what the "BIBLE SAYS," but they have no clue what it means. The present example of God convicting His children is one of those lies. The idea that God won't condemn, but will convict comes from Jesus statement in the upper room. Jesus was telling the disciples about the coming and work of the Holy Spirit. He told them, "Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righ

ALL THINGS

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? All too often, the Christian life is seen as an aesthetic, boring monontonous task of being miserable in the here and now so that we can have a glorious eternal life; in other words, God is presented as an uptight killjoy who prefers a stick in the mud over muddy children laughing and playing. This is the one lie the father of lies has spread to God's children since the garden--before we expose that lie, we need to see that satan is one unoriginal bastard. What did he tell Eve in the garden? Basically he told her that God is withholding from her. He gets her to focus on what she did not have instead of the abundance available to her. He also told her that she is not like God and if she wants to be like God, she needs to act independently and begin t
