During my early teenage years our family attended an Independent Baptist Church. It was very fundamental in its approach and “straight lace” with rules like: No dancing, movies, “mixed bathing” in swimming pools, or dating without another couple. I’m not sure if it was just part of the era I lived in or a tradition […]
Family and Friends – The Father 2.0
With the Father’s image as a foundation, (Colossians 1:15, 2Corinthians 4:4) Genesis 1:27 illustrates how the process works, explaining that “God created man in His own image, in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.” Now, let’s rephrase this verse in the context of what you have previously learned. […]
Family and Friends – The Father 1.0
As we prepare for the new year, I want to start with your relationship with Father God. With just Him individually. His role, your relationship, etc. I want you to see him as He is and befriend him in the way He wants you to so you can be like Enoch and Noah – Halak […]

Today we are going to continue focusing on three unique (spiritual) relationships that will bring about the basis of core knowledge and position you for spiritual authenticity. In order to grasp the uniqueness of the God Family, you must look at the original language and how the Bible describes “one”. In Genesis 2:24 the Bible […]

As I mentioned yesterday, through the ages, many spiritual issues have been clouded by man’s legalistic, controlling, and compulsive nature. It happened between the time of Moses and Jesus during the rise of the Pharisees and Essenes. It happened prior to Martin Luther and his Ninety-Five Theses, when church leaders decided that the Bible was […]
The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Christmas of 1954 was a day I will always remember. Next to the tree was a new shiny black Western Flyer. I no longer had to walk to school every day, but could ride! However, it took a while before my mom felt my cycling skills were developed well enough for this significant event. After […]

Let us turn to the concept of multiple personalities within The God Family, and examine it from a position of seeking and finding. The Old Testament the word for God (Elohiym) indicated plurality (of personages) to the Jew, but is not immediately understood in our translations. The New Testament helps us see “Elohiym” as three […]
Family and Friends 11.0
Based on our past two day’s conversations, you know the world will not view you as normal. It is not supposed to! You will march to the beat of Kingdom drums, not that of a popular rock group. You probably will not receive worldly recognition, and you will probably wonder if what you are doing […]
Family and Friends 10.0
Today I want to bring together yesterday’s thoughts. When you combine the terms “accountability” and “intimacy,” this definition of accountimacy results: “An obligation to exchange satisfactory reason or explanation for one’s actions with a person who knows and understands your innermost character, and empathizes with you in a way few people can.” No one can […]
