While Genesis begins with the creation of the world by a magnificent and holy God, the Apostles’ Creed does likewise. In proclaiming that we believe in a God who created heaven and earth, we proclaim a God who reigns sovereign over all creation. Furthermore, as we proclaim this belief, we must do more than give it lip service, but allow the sovereignty of God to reign fully in every aspect of our lives.

The hope of Jesus Christ defeats the empire that rules over people so that we might return to God.
What a difference a year makes. At the start of 2019, I had a fair amount of plans and ideas for where I thought the Lord was leading me. In keeping with the regular pattern of my life, none of them actually happened.
The hope of Jesus Christ defeats the empire that rules over people so that we might return to God.
