    Increasing Light, Part 12

           If our knowledge of God is not affecting our choices, then we certainly do not have a high enough opinion of Him. That is why He said to the Laodicean church in Revelation He would rather they be cold or hot than lukewarm. Indifference is the highest form of contempt in a relationship. To be indifferent about God is one of the highest forms of contempt for Him. We must resolve not to allow this lukewarm spirit in our lives.

           How can we know God and...

           Romans 11:22 exhorts us to, “Behold then the kindness and severity of God….” This does not imply that God is kind one day and severe the next. He does not change. He is both kind and severe all the time. Many are only able to behold His kindness, and because of this, they become open to distorted, extreme, and false teachings about His grace and mercy. Others tend to only see His severity and are therefore deceived and unable to grasp His grace and mercy. To see...

           There is a ditch on either side of the path of life, and there are extremes on both sides of every truth. The faith and confidence needed to be decisive can easily drift into presumption at times. Still, it is better to err on the side of extreme faith than too little faith. God can correct presumption and premature action. The law of inertia states you cannot steer what is not moving. It is much easier for the Lord to steer us when we are moving.

           The first thing the Lord required of Abraham to become the “father of faith” was to leave his home in Ur of the Chaldees, the Babylonians. As we are told in Hebrews 11:8-10:

    By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.

    By faith he lived as an alien in the...

             We have been addressing the manifest presence of the Lord, and its relationship to koinonia fellowship. We will now cover some of the basics that enable this, and that can inhibit or rob us of this basic and crucial part of our inheritance in Christ. We will begin with the mentality of fallen man, which has led to the most devastating counterfeits and robbed many of the greatest experiences they can have in this life. The most poignant illustration of this trap is found in Genesis 11:2-4:

    It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a...
