God's Word My Word

     "The life of Christ that gives life to the world is in His word. It was by His word that Jesus healed disease and cast out demons; by His word He stilled the sea, and raised the dead; and the people bore witness that His word was with power. He spoke the word of God, as He had spoken through all the prophets and teachers of the Old Testament. The whole Bible is a manifestation of Christ, and the Saviour desired to fix the faith of His followers on the word. When His visible presence should be withdrawn, the word must be their source of power. Like their Master, they were to live 'by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.' Matthew 4:4.       "As our physical life is sustained by food, so our spiritual life is sustained by the word of God. And every soul is to receive life from God’s word for himself. As we must eat for ourselves in order to receive nourishment, so we must receive the word for ourselves. We are not to obtain it merely through the medi

The Human Design -- Awesome. Period.

"In the beginning was the WORD,... All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made (John 1:1, 3)." Below is a TED Talk that was presented in 2007 by David Bolinsky, a medical animator. In it, the speaker emphasizes two words: truth   and beauty . Immediately, I thought of the verse: "O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (Psalm 96:9)." Of course, it may not directly relate; but that's what I thought of. I also considered that God is truth, as pointed out in John 17:17 -- "Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth ." (Note: John 1 establishes for us that the Word is God; therefore, we may safely conclude that because the word is truth, God is truth.) The speaker also mentions with awe the magnificence of human structure, and notes how he feels like he could almost worship it. I would say to worship the Lord who made heaven and earth, the sea, and the fountains of water; the Lord who made you and me

New Year, New Focus

I am probably the one millionth person to say this, but let's face the facts: it's a new year. We hear the same thing  every year, and yet each year, it's different.  The year 2011 was PlugIn2God's first official year of operation. What a year it was! God was there at every step and turn, guiding the entire process.  The opening theme for 2011 was "The Connection" in line with the mission of PlugIn2God -- To help young Christians stay connected to the ultimate power Source --Jesus Christ-- and become lightbearers for Him. In order to have a close relationship with someone, we have to meet them first! That is what last year was all about -- connecting to God. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What about 2012? What are we focusing on this year?  The WORD .  This year is introducing us to the written and the living Word of God -- the Bible and its Author. We will be digging deep into the Scriptures to see what messages God has for us, to know His will for our lives. T
