LIVING IN THE UPSIDE DOWN
Before the rebellion on earth and frustration of the cosmos, mankind was created by God in his own image and likeness. God blessed mankind and told them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
We are designed for intimate Agape’ love union and fellowship with God, with others, and with ourselves. We are designed to communicate, cooperate, collaborate, and co-create innovatively alongside of God. God is the Designer, Creator, Author, and Sustainer of all things seen and unseen in heaven and on earth.
Life in the upside down is filled with angst, fear, and rage that something is wrong. What’s wrong is not fixable on our own but a natural consequence of sin, condemnation, death, and enslavement to the devil; isolation from God, each other, and ourselves; wickedness of mankind’s heart bent by pride, envy, power, and fame; and the corruption and decay of the cosmos.
For at least six millennia God has been allowing mankind to fling and flail like fish fresh off the hook and landing on the dockside decking. Mankind’s history is replete with virtually “everything” under the sun to flip the upside down right-side up (religion, gods, agnosticism, atheism, nihilism, etc.). Nothing of man has worked or ever will work. Only GOD can fix what mankind broke – union and fellowship with God.
In the Old Testament, God populated the eternal state (the right-side up) with those who would believed Him. In the New Testament, God is populating the eternal state with those who believe in his Son, Jesus.
Discover the joy and peace of the hope that springs from knowing we are going to dwell eternally with God in the right-side up.
I HOPE you enjoy pushing PLAY and LISTENING…
