mid-week apologetics booster (1-9-2025)

Good morning friends, Quote of the week: Think about Genesis 18 again, where God appeared to Abraham. This clearly teaches that God can come to earth in human form for a period of time if he wants to. If he could do this for a few hours, in a temporary human form, could he do it for a few years, in permanent human form? Of course. This is called the incarnation—God coming down to earth in the person of his Son. When we recognize the Son as the exact representation of God, yet God himself, then we can explain how God remained the Lord in heaven while also appearing as the Lord on earth in Genesis 18. – Dr. Michael Brown (quoted in “The Case for the Real Jesus”) Now, here are your weekly links:

Does God Whisper? Part 3 – Two-way communication is essential to all relationships. Classically for Christians in relationship with God this has meant Bible study and prayer. We let the “word of Christ richly dwell within” (Col. 3:16), then by “prayer and supplication with thanksgiving” we make our requests before God (Phil. 4:6). Recently, though, an alternate approach has become popular, dubbed by some as “listening prayer.” Prayer is conversation with God, the argument goes, and all conversation is two-way. We speak, then God speaks. Therefore, prayer should include listening to God as well as talking to Him.: https://www.str.org/w/does-god-whisper-part-3

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
