ONLY GOD'S WAY WILL STAND TIME AND TIDE

God continually declares that He has a purpose for His creation and that only His purpose and plan will stand throughout eternity.

“I have spoken and I will bring it to pass;

I have purposed, and I will do it.”

Isaiah 46:8-13

God built His Kingdom from the beginning of time.  God is building His house and says that those who think they are building it labor in vain.  Jesus said that He was building His Church and that the gates of hell will not prevail against it.  God is clear and direct in His speaking and yet we human beings continue to build our own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water and cannot stand. 

It is not a human endeavor to “reimage” the Church and make it more relevant to the world’s culture.  Anything done in that way is idolatry; anything built in that way is a “golden calf”.

God has had an eternal plan, a purpose, and that plan will succeed and WILL stand time and tide.  He is bringing forth His Kingdom in His way, as planned.  We are to joyfully submit to that plan and leave it in context.  In God’s time and in God’s way that plan will be revealed.  God is still at work and we are to serve Him in that work, not go out on our own and build our own kingdoms, and make names for ourselves.

THY KINGDOM COME

THY WILL BE DONE

On earth as it is

In heaven
