Sovereignty means that ultimately God alone has the right to declare what creation should be.

From Proverbs 3:5-6:  “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”

Stanley Grenz (1950-2005) was an American theologian and Christian writer.

Faith’s Purpose

From Hosea 6:6:  “For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.”

Heavenly Father desires

Man’s loyalty, share His light

Glory lifted high, filled with joy

Faith’s purpose, now taking flight

 

Heavenly Father’s witness

Man matures through truth, grace leads

Thirsty for His Word, at last quenched

Faith’s planting, each tender seed

 

Heavenly Father gathers

Man’s attention, seeking peace

Christ offers details, believe each one

Faith’s motives, Spirit’s mouthpiece

 

Heavenly Father’s calling

Man finds knowledge, full of hope

Honored relationship, with Him

Faith’s voyage, up periscope

From John 17:1-2:  “After Jesus had spoken these words, He looked up to heaven and said, ‘Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son so that the Son may glorify You, since You have given Him authority over all people, to give eternal life to all whom You have given Him.'”

Charles Stanley Quote

The Bible is a bottomless source of nourishment for becoming like Christ.

From Ephesians 5:8-9:  “For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light.  Walk as children of light, for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true.”

Being by oneself with God’s creation may seem like a simple blessing, but it has the ability to take one into an adventure with nature’s goodness.
