endeavors to make available writings and resources helpful to students of
the Bible, searchers after truth, and seekers of the new and deeper life
that is to be found in Jesus Christ. The host, though he has never been
a professional minister, has been a life-long student of the Bible
and a respected teacher of the Gospel that is contained in
it. On this website find studies
and essays in such diverse topics as: understanding the spiritual realm,
principles of Christian living, the Biblical view of the makeup of the
human person, a Christian view of the Koran, and of course faith, hope and
love—the three-fold gift of God to human
kind. The table of contents is in
the right-hand column of this page. Included are two pages of other
resources that we think are helpful. Please use our Guestbook

The thesis of this study is simply this fact. Man, as the highest level of the created world, is in reality "a-being-in-process." And we must see the completed end of the process in order to understand what man is. The Gospel of Jesus Christ asserts that he, the man who after he had died was raised from the dead by the power of God, is indeed the completed end. The good news in this fact is this: in that man (Jesus) we see the true nature and destiny of every man.
This possibility, this truth, (man, "a-being-in-process") is essential to an understanding of the theme in this paper. This understanding tremendously elevates our appreciation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are a part of, but more than, lower levels of reality. But we are not yet what we are designed to be. That which we are destined to becomewill involve all levels of reality from the lowest to an even higher yet to come. I hope this idea is so appealing that you will want to continue your reading. I'm trying here to get you to have the anticipation of a "gold prospector" with the feeling you just may be close to some real pay dirt.
