God's Creation and Word

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
-- John 1: 1-5

The Glory of God

How amazing are the things we see in our world? Sometimes we spend too much time working, worrying about our problems or just staying busy that we fail to stop and look at the incredible world in which we live. The framework for our incredible world was set in motion a very long time ago, but the beauty and incredible architecture are still bearing fruit to us today.

God's Greatest Gift

Sacred scripture, inspired by God, has been handed down for thousands of years and continues to have a great impact on us and the world we live in. It is truly amazing that text two thousand or more years old can still be so relevant to the world we live in today.

Weekly Reflections - July 2009

Do you believe that Jesus who performed many miracles in the eyes of many over two thousand years ago is still with us today performing healing and miracles through people like you and I? Upon His death on the cross we've inherited the holy Spirit, the vehicle of God's work. When we open our selves to the Spirit believing in Jesus and His mighty power, all can perform the works that He has done when He walked the face of the earth. His coming, over two thousand years ago was meant to teach human to do God's work here on earth if we choose to do so. Jesus encouraged all to continue His works and move forward with all that we have learned from Him. The works cannot be done certainly not through the power of the flesh but "only" through the power of His holy Spirit who lives within all of us.

"Amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it."
John 14:12-14

"You will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:8

Not only God gave us the the power and encouragement when He gave us the holy Spirit, He wants for all of us to be true disciples of Him and to do the will of the Father. As Christ says in the bible, "Make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit." Only through the holy Spirit God's work continues to spread from more than two thousand years ago, all accomplished through people like you and I, led by the Spirit, who opened their hearts to God and His goodness. The word of God in the Bible made this book the top selling book of all times for centuries, and until the end of civilization I'm sure. Only through the working of His Spirit this can be accomplished.

If we do the will of God, He promised us that we will reap in abundance. The future is bright! Serve the Lord with all your hearts and with all your minds and all will be given onto you. He is the only way, the only truth that will bring us life in abundance of peace and joy.

General Message from Artist

I felt that God spoke to me in my heart. He says, “My creation is no less than perfect if everyone will learn how to see and appreciate it, your guide is in the book of life.” I must be obedient to this message. Ever since, I’ve been moved to truly see and appreciate His wonderful creation and words which truly give me peace. It’s not like I didn’t know how to compose properly when I shoot pictures nor didn’t know how to organize and gather the proper elements when creating an image. I just have a true conviction and the passion using my God given gift to capture the beauty of His love and creation in our natural environment.

We all are given a special gift, planted in each of us when He created us. Each are special and was meant to be used for His glory and to build His kingdom. Analyze your strength and find that special gift within you. Develop it and use it for the glory of God and you will be rewarded.

Appreciate the sunshine, all that surrounds you, the beautiful environment that God has given us which meant to give us comfort if we learn to appreciate it. All material possessions can all be gone tomorrow but the trees, the sunshine, and the free air we breathe, our loved one, all came from God will always be with us. Focus on loving God and family and do your very BEST with the given talent and undertaking His given you and He will do the rest!
