      God Who Sees Me Shame,  compromise, adultery, jealously, rejection, hopelessness. Would God step into such  a mess? Well, step in He did, and revealed my favorite Name: El Roi, God Who Sees Me. Genesis 16 tells the story of Hagar, Sarah’s maid, who became entangled in Sarah’s drama. Sarah, Abraham’s wife, was in her 80s and childless.

        In the beginning God... Genesis 1:1 Elohim: Divine, Creator, Powerful No stars, no sun, no moon—complete darkness. And then Elohim spoke. An explosion of light, beyond all imagination. Word by word, He created the Universe, our  small Earth, Life. Light, out of nothingness. Breath from dust. Miraculous,  but what does it mean for us today? For Elohim, every birth is an "in the beginning God," moment. Psalm 139:13 says God created us in… Read More

    Can we be on a first-name basis with God? If God were to introduce Himself face-to-face, who do you think He would choose? The most righteous person He could find or the most powerful? Enter Moses. Genesis 2-3 tells us Moses was a powerful man in Egypt’s government, but not even a powerful man could get away with killing an Egyptian guard. So, Moses ran into the wilderness, a fugitive from the law, wanted for murder.… Read More

    God's nature. How can we possible describe it? He is Holy Judge and Savior. He is Love and Disciplinarian. He is Teacher and Guide. God is layer upon layer, greater than we can imagine. Yet, we have the unbelievable privilege of talking to Him, walking with Him, and being taught by Him. When I became a baby believer at the ripe old age of 16, I heard God refered to as the Father, Son, and… Read More
