There is another part of us which no one ever sees, yet God also created. Our souls. The Bible says He is the lover of our souls. This invisible part may be what the Bible calls unpresentable; after all, the first human beings were naked, and God didn’t object. The soul has three parts: 1) the mind, which is not a part of our brain, in fact, the mind uses the brain; 2) the emotions, which are not a part of our heart, but our emotions use the heart; and 3) the will, which is not a part of the vocal chords, but our will uses our vocal chords. Our will is the least understood of all three parts of our souls. Suffice it to say, for the moment, that what we say is what we will, because what we say brings into being what we want to have happen. Quite often the will is in opposition to both, or to either the heart and the mind. Our words determine the winner.

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters (Genesis 1:1, 2).
Chaos is actually the foundation of the earth. Within this “ball” we call home, are found all the resources that we know we need, or can use, and still others we have not yet discovered, but they are all here in a raw state. The Creator, our “Manufacturer,” brought some of these resources into Order so that man could live here. See Genesis 1:3–31. Then man was put here to bring Order out of the rest. In other words, man does not create anything new; he simply organizes God’s creation into something usable. If man organizes something that is outside the plan of creation, it will be destroyed. Our bodies are magnificent, even though The Book says they are made of dust, but they are noble just the same. Our bodies are amazing works of art that science still cannot fully comprehend. For instance, scientists cannot answer the question, “How is a baby formed from one stem cell in nine months in a mother’s womb?” Scientists label that creation “The Force of Life,” whatever that means. Why do human beings reach a certain pinnacle somewhere in their 50s and then start a steady decline? Same answer, “Force of Life.” Why should we get weak and die when our cells are replaced every seven years, or thereabouts? Same answer, because they don’t know. To be continued. . . . Every child born into this world must find the answer to the questions, “Who am I?” and “Why was I born?” Everyone asks the same questions, and in the end finds the same answers. But the questions cannot be answered without the process. Life, as we know it, is a process. There really are no final conclusions in the process of living. Some quick examples; the death of a loved one does not end the relationship. The living continue it on. The building of a house does not end with the completion; the house constantly changes with the life lived in it, or the decay when not lived in. Divorce does not end the marriage. The ex-partners carry the relationship in their souls.
To propel us through this process of living we have only one irrefutable resource, one sure guide, earth’s only manufacturer’s manual, the Bible. The words we read there are revelation facts. There is no argument, no offer for debate, no compromise given, nothing is ever suggested; we are simply told facts: This is the way it is. The Book is known as being progressive revelation as the beginning speaks of physical creation and what mankind did with it, and the information progresses until, at the end, we understand the spiritual realm in which we have always lived. To be continued . . . |

Evangelist Teacher Writing has been in my blood, so to speak, but when I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ and He told me to write, all my trepidations rolled away and I began in earnest! After all, if God Almighty says it was His idea that I be a writer, who am I to stand in His way? My hope is that you not only like what I write, but that your life is moved by it, and that your party to Jesus and with Jesus turns your life into days of Heaven on Earth.
