God's ultimate plan before Creation included a radical change at the Cross. To enact this dramatic change, God performed two important acts on the Day of Pentecost.

The Bible says that God has written a mystery! Now if a human had written a mystery we would expect him to keep us in suspense with plot twists and an invincible arch-villain, but we think that God just writes nice stories about nice people. However, as C.S. Lewis implied, He's a good God, but He's not a tame God. Since nobody tells us there is a mystery, we don't look for it and even doctors of theology don't see it as God waves it right in front...

The Christian life is not about giving up, but taking up. The call of Jesus to discipleship is a positive one-love God and your neighbour. It's not about being serious, but happy and loving. It's not a constant battle against small temptations. It's because Jesus didn't spend all his energy fighting the temptations of the world that he was able to withstand genuine temptation. This series of studies of his life takes-a-look at stories from the gospels,...
