He Knocks

God is Love. Everything else is interpretations and opinions by well-meaning and/or enterprising mindsets.

This journal's name is inspired by Rev 3:20.
I enjoy exploring the unquestioned answers.

About

Dan Alexander: It took me years, to come to the seemingly simplistic -- yet, profound -- awareness, that God is love.

And that, everything else is interpretations and opinions, by well-meaning and/or enterprising mindsets.

View my complete profile

Two posts that illustrate the essence of my journey

The Elephant and the Four Blind Men
The Cosmic Turtle

Rose

Is it possible for the rose to say, "I will give my fragrance to the good people who smell me, but I will withhold it from the bad?" Or is it possible for the lamp to say, "I will give my light to the good people in this room, but I will withhold it from the evil people"? Or can a tree say, "I'll give my shade to the good people who rest under me, but I will withhold it from the bad"? These are images of what love is about.

- Anthony de Mello

All

"..we have fixed out hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers."

- 1 Tim 4:10 NASB

All

"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."

- 1 Cori 15:22 KJV

All

"So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men."

- Rom 5:18 NASB

Is In All

"Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all."

- Col 3:11 NIV

Rusty Gate

"If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing.

If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere.

So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love..."

- 1 Corinthians 13:1-7, The Message

God is...

"...God is love". - 1 John 4:7-8

Gift

"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV

Anger

“Christians get very angry toward other Christians who sin differently than they do.”

- Philip Yancey
