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.

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.

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
