“All souls are mine” says the Lord God at Ezek 18:4. And He loves us all enough to put us first… and himself last.

By the grace of God we all come to Jesus as Saviour… or Judge. And just as no one is able to keep the OT ‘law of works’, ALL are able to keep the NT ‘law of faith.’

So the Lord’s invitation to all souls is to believe in Jesus and his Word of truth for salvation. Easy. Because his yoke is easy… and his burden is light (Matt 11:30). Let God bless you.

Thank you for this good article.

So thankful for you, Philip, and for how God has worked in and through your life all of these many years! Grateful for the intelligence, wisdom, and the ability to communicate, particularly in written form what God has taught you about Himself, yourself, and by extension the rest of us. We are blessed by it!

An awe-inspiring perspective, Philip. What a powerful reminder to “delight in the Lord” no matter what we may be experiencing. I love your sense of wonder. Thank you.

If reading this blog doesn’t make you wonder even more about the universe and all that we don’t know and have yet to discover, reading Eric Metaxas’ book “Is Atheism Dead?” does a good job of filling in the gaps. Thanks Philip for reminding us of just how small we are but just how enormous God’s love is to visit our tiny planet to save us from ourselves.

Love this!!! I have always been awed looking at the sky – from down in a valley, on the top of a mountain, or soaring in a plane. This blog just adds to my awe and wonder of all that our truly awesome God has created so richly for us to enjoy! And to think we haven’t seen anything yet, in comparison to what is to come!
I was just reading 1 Chronicles 16 today, where David exhorts that we “give thanks to the Lord…proclaim His deeds…talk about all His wonderful works…remember His marvelous works which He has done…His wonders…declare His glory…” You have certainly done all that in this blog, Philip, filling us with praise and thanksgiving, and .humbling us again that this magnificent God has chosen us fallible humans to express His love for the people He created, “no matter how small or how rebellious they might be.”

Always interesting. But the poems and hymns and myths of the Bible fail to explain why God chose this pinprick of Levantine humanity to explain a bit of him/her/itself and we immediately assume that this very limited explanation must be “sold” to all of humanity, and presumably any other sentient beings, terrestrial or alien.

On the subject of selling (and this is not directed at you) I found myself marveling, while driving through the deep heart of Texas this week, at the many ways we humans have discovered for getting rich off the life and death of a radical carpenter’s son who lived in Palestine some 2000 years ago.

Thank you for writing this. My brain is dancing with joy to find a fellow pilgrim that shares some of my perpespective on God. The heavens declare the glory of God… Amen and Amen.

I was in awe, mouth open, as I read this. Such unimaginable love of the Father and the Son!

Thank you for another beautiful message!
As scientists press farther into both the micro and macro ends of creation’s continuum they give me new and more numerous hints of our unfathomable Father’s creativity and infinite power.
