Yesterday I had an echocardiogram. At one point in the
process, with the photo-taking of 2-dimensional panels of my heart, I could hear it saying repeatedly in
the beat, ‘wow’. Kinda funny,…then I
thought, each day should be a wow. When I am with God, it is that. "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have Mercy on me."
I am reading a book right now that is certainly one of the most, wow, and easily readable books that I have ever read. It is called the ‘Religion of the Apostles: Orthodox Christianity in the First Century”, by Fr. Stephen De Young, an Orthodox priest in Louisiana.
It traces Old Testament lineage in Judaic belief from its beginnings at the Creation in Genesis, to the 2nd Temple period of the Prophetic Old Testament, in other words, to the time of the Apostles and Christ’s life
on this earthly plane. It has lead me into the context of the world as it was seen
at this time. It explains the Trinity in a very simple and stunning way, making the Trinity, God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, much more accessible through straight-on, history grounded, understanding.
This book is a WOW! And I think it will lead to a much deeper
life in Christ. I am into the 2nd Chapter and I have been elevated
(in fact floating), in its profound teaching.
