>Water Found Around a Star, Go Figure!

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

And God called the firmament Heaven – Genesis 1:6-8

Scientists scoff at the Bible for saying heaven, presumably the sky, originally separated two layers of water, and especially the statement later that God put two lights, presumably the Sun and Moon, in that expanse.

When the Bible says it scientists scoff but, apparently, when one of their own discovers a star with water around it they marvel.

Wired Science reports that a 2001 discovery of a star with hot water around it requires them to re-think chemistry theory!

Scientists make some fairly bold statements for those who have a lot yet discover.

I’ll stick with God’s word – I don’t always understand the how and why of it, but it has always proven true where I can understand it.

>Rendering to Caesar and to God

When they handed [Jesus] a Roman coin, he asked, “Whose picture and title are stamped on it?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. “Well, then,” he said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.” – Matthew 22:18b-21

The determining factor of ownership is the imprinted image or likeness of the object. Jesus told the crafty Pharisees that since coins were made with Caesar’s likeness Caesar has the right to them.

Focus on that last part of Jesus’ statement, “give to God what belongs to God”. This was not a lesson on money but on ownership.

“God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” – Genesis 1:27

God’s image has been etched on our lives, by rights he possesses legitimate ownership. God is not interested in our money, he wants us.

“Lord, you made me in your image and rightfully deserve my life. Come take possession and use me for your purposes” – Amen.

A Whole Person

Posted in Human Body, tagged , , on July 23, 2010| Leave a Comment »

[T]he very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – 1st Thessalonians 5:23

It is a mistake to believe God is only interested in our “soul”.

God created us spirit, soul, and body1 in his image2 and for a reason. One should presume the original intent has not been changed, only delayed, by humanity’s obstinance.

Jesus came to preserve the whole person and fulfill God’s design in us. Submitted to God, our bodies are holy and pleasing3 to him and he has a divine purpose for them.

Take care of your body, God has a use for it.
