Supremacy Of Christ

Alex Bangle on February 1, 2011

It is important and healthy for us to wrestle with big thoughts about God. One of these being Christ ‘s Supremacy over all things. “Psalms 135:6 Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. ” Here we see evidence of Christ ‘s Supremacy, that He does what pleases Him in all creation. I am humbled by this passage and I am very encouraged by it. Since God is Good, Holy and Just then He has all rights to do as he pleases and we should rejoice in this.

“Isaiah 46:10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose “. I love the power of this verse. Christ declares from the start, the things that would be done. This assures me of God ‘s control over everyday, but even more of the Trinity ‘s power and eternal presence. The statement God makes is an absolute assurance “shall stand ” and “I will ” and that should comfort us that we don ‘t live in chaos but in God ‘s control.

Truth, Action and Prayer

Alex Bangle on January 2, 2011

The study of God and His word is a critical thing to our Christian faith and many forget the importance of it. Of course, study of truth alone isn’t enough because taking it into practice is critical! But on the other hand action without a solid foundation of truth can lead to grave mistakes and misunderstanding. I hope this year through these blogs and other interactions that we all may seek out the hard truth’s of God and not be ashamed of the gospel and what it says.

Also that we may pause everyday during our busy schedules, if only for a moment, reflect on God and His Word. That’s my challenge, don’t just stop for a moment and read this blog, or just throw a 5 second prayer out before walking in the door. But to take a moment to stop and think upon God who is in heaven on His throne reigning supremely over and in all things in heaven and on earth, the visible and invisible.
