“What is God really like?” Philip worried about the answer to this question, which is why he implored Jesus to show them the Father. Jesus settles the matter once and for all when he answers: "I’m what God is like! If you’ve seen me you’ve seen the Father."
While this is certainly true and potentially liberating for those who have an image of God in need of rehabilitation, knowledge of it is not enough; having a theology of God’s love is not sufficient.
Those whom God misses most, sons and daughters not yet in a relationship with Father, their greatest need is not correct doctrine concerning what God is really like. What they need--what all of us need--is to experience God's love personally.

Upside Down Kingdom
December 30, 2018 • Dirk Duhlstine
God says: 1. If you want to be great… be a servant 2. To find yourself…you must die to yourself 3. To get back at your enemy…you should love him 4. To become rich… give money away God's kingdom is an upside down kingdom! When we clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and love…which is clothing ourselves with the person and nature of http://christ...we’re clothing ourselves for battle.
Words Create Worlds
December 23, 2018 • Graeme Sellers
Our words create worlds. The words we speak shape and create world we live in. Words have always created worlds. It’s true. How was our world made? Words. Ten times in the creation account of Genesis 1 we read this: “And God said…” Their impact is captured in Genesis 2:1 “Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.” Gen. 1:28 reports that we are made in God’s image, so why should it surprise us that our words have creative power as well? God would urge us to listen to ourselves, to pay attention to the words we speak and the worlds they create.
What's the Point?

God isn’t afraid of honest inquiry or the fierce conversation, and the answers to this question may surprise and delight us!
