God's Pursuit Of Man

The unconditioned priority of God in His universe is a truth celebrated both in the Old Testament and in the New. The prophet Habakkuk sang it in ecstatic language, “Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One?” (1:12). The Apostle John set it forth in careful words deep with meaning, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (1:1-3).

This truth is so necessary to right thoughts about God and ourselves that it can hardly be too strongly emphasized. It is a truth known to everyone, a kind of common property of all religious persons, but for the very reason that it is so common it now has but little meaning for any of us. It has suffered the fate of which Coleridge writes:

Truths, of all others the most awful and interesting, are too often considered as so true that they lose all the power of truth and lie bed-ridden in the dormitory of the soul, side by side with the most despised and exploded errors.

But no one ever called. I finally realized that it was not the product, the price, the market, or the competition that was holding me back from making sales. It was me. More specifically, it was my fear of asking a closing question. One day, I decided tha...

God Told Me To Marry You

IN CHRISTIAN CIRCLES today, this issue of ‘God said…’ or ‘God told me…’ has brought a lot of confusion and caused a lot of problems especially for unassuming young ladies today. You find that when it comes to marriage, a lot of people, especially ladies make the mistake of falling prey to manipulation and intimidation under the guise of a marriage proposal. A man comes to a young lady and says to her, “Thus saith the Lord: you are my wife” or another very common one you’ll hear is, “I had a dream and the Lord revealed to me that you are my husband”.
