When God created man, He created him in His image. This implies that man was created with spiritual faculties enabling him to readily commune with God and learn wisdom from Him. Man was designed to be taught by God Himself – to become His disciple. And through man, God intended to reveal His wisdom and [...]

Three Compartments of Man

by Wes Bridel on July 30, 2009

in Calling

God created Man in His Image, and endowed him with the full capacity, natural and spiritual, to be changed from glory to glory – even into the Likeness of God.  But when Adam and Eve fell, God took away their privilege of fellowship with Him.  They were thus not able to approach and walk in [...]

by Wes Bridel on May 18, 2009

in Calling

From the Very Beginning

by Wes Bridel on May 15, 2009

in Calling

God planned, from the very beginning, to populate the earth with many sons.
