As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“I am not arguing that Christians should decide not to engage in politics or civic life. We all have a role to play in our society and if we can influence some changes for the good, I am all for it. However, shouldn’t we be thinking about the most important things and how to achieve them?” - Don Johnson
“Though the future is uncertain, Green writes, ‘God is in control.’ Hobby Lobby’s leaders ‘are doing all they can to balance the need to keep the Company strong and the need of employees,’ he writes, adding that ‘we may all have to ‘tighten our belts’ over the near future.’” - Church Leaders

We’ve all had incredible experiences.
Whether it is catching a big fish, or winning a big game, or, more seriously, witnessing the birth of your child or thinking back to your wedding day.
Some claim to have had religious experiences where God told them something to do, or where He revealed something to them. I think we can all agree, though, that our experience cannot even come close to match what Peter experienced by being around Jesus for three years.
I thought I would adapt some of my lecture notes on Systematic Theology for my blog. I am continuing to work on my book of biblical theology and thought it would do me good to change things up a bit. The first group of posts will be on the Doctrine of Revelation.
Can We See God in Creation? This is a profound question—and the answer is both yes and no.
First—yes, we can see our glorious God in creation:
O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens! (NKJV, Ps. 8:1)The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
(Ps. 19:1, 2; cf. Job 12:7-10)
