God’s plan for today: Mature sons for the house of God

I was driving home from work two weeks ago and the Lord started teaching me on what He is doing in His people today. I got home, had dinner with my family, and got the kids ready for bed, and then went for a walk with my bride. I shared with her a little of […]

The Multi-Faceted Glory of God

The Lord has given me a couple small pictures recently that depict what He is doing as He raises many sons to Glory.  We shared one yesterday about how God’s Glory will be experienced through His Sons.  If you’re not familiar with this concept, you should read the portion on Sonship in The Seed (and […]

The Radiance of God’s Glory through His Sons

Yesterday, I sat on my couch and was becoming more and more uncomfortable as the heat of the sun came in the window/door.  One side of our home is all glass doors going out onto a patio.  For years, the view out was into a small forest.  However, they’ve recently torn all that down and […]

God is Working Out His Purposes in Man

Continuing our discussion of image and likeness from last week, God’s purpose in Man will be completed.  His purpose is that through Christ (His life, death, & resurrection) He would restore Man’s original place which He intended Man to hold….to be God’s dwelling place in the Earth through whom He would rule & reveal Himself […]

What is the Order of Melchizedek?

In chapter 5, when we addressed the topic of Sonship, we gave a glimpse of what this priesthood is about. Here are some further observations: 1.    This priesthood is the eternal priesthood which functions in the heavenly tabernacle. Moses was given a vision on Mount Sinai of its pattern, and God instructed him to make […]

Questions for Review – Sonship

Can the Father and Son relationship in the Godhead be compared with that of an earthly father and son relationship? What is the biggest difference? Do you have any further observations of the differences of an orphan and a son? Please expound on them a little. Obviously the Holy Spirit interacted with men in the […]

Specific Scripture: Son and Orphan

John 14:15-19 [NIV] 15″If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever- 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives […]

Scripture Specific to Sonship and Its “History”

God’s perfect desire is to raise you as His beloved son (no gender implied) that He can impart all love, grace, power, and responsibility to you.  This has always been His plan. He placed Adam and Eve in the Garden and gave them His image with the desire to grow them into His likeness, that […]

In the Place of Adam

In a sense, when Christ died upon the cross and restored our Sonship, he stepped into the place of Adam.  He then became the first-born among the dead, and is able to grant eternal life to others. This is a well-established theme in the Bible.  Let’s look at a few passages: Col 1:18-20 [NIV] 18And […]

Christ Restored Sonship Back to Us

In yesterday’s post, we discussed the Sonship in the history of man up until the story of the Israelites.  As most of you probably know,  God allowed the Israelites to be enslaved in Egypt for over 400 years – until He raised Moses to deliver them.   On Mount Sinai, He gave them the Law through […]
