God is…

From the beginning of the world to its end, there is no place you can look and not see Jesus. He is everywhere. He is everything. “He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” – Colossians 1:17 In Genesis, He is the Creator God. In Exodus, He is the Redeemer. In Leviticus, He is your sanctification. In Numbers, He is your guide. In Deuteronomy, He is your teacher. In Joshua, He is the mighty conqueror. In Judges, He gives victory over enemies.

Still Relevant

Posted by on Oct 5, 2009 in recycled material, uncertain times | Comments Off

While I was looking through some of my old writings that are saved on this computer, I was surprised by how relevant most of them are today. I realized that my writings on the web began days after the terror attacks on 9-11-2001. Only because I was looking for a more convenient way of publishing what I wrote on the web, the site gradually morphed into blogging. I had no idea what I was getting myself into at that time and how many rabbit trails the whole blogging process would lead me down. I’m going to occasionally publish – with a few tweaks – some of those that are still...
