The Medusa Effect – by Jack Kinsella
The Medusa Effect – by Jack Kinsella In Greek mythology, Medusa was one of the three Gorgon sisters, daughters of an ancient marine deity named Phorcys. Medusa became involved in an affair with the sea god, Poseidon in the temple of Athena. Athena had a thing for Posiedon and so she cursed the beautiful Medusa, transforming her beautiful hair into serpents and her face into such a horrifying sight that one look at it would turn a man into stone. In the Greek myths, Medusa was finally beheaded by the hero, Perseus. Perseus avoided looking on her face directly by …
The Carpenter’s Son
Reflections The Carpenter’s Son And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, “Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?” (Matt. 13:54-56) Accounts like this one tell us that for the first 30 years of His life, Jesus maintained a low profile – He did …
Silencing Lies
Silencing Lies by Charles R. Swindoll Scriptures: Job 20:1–29 Zophar’s Second Response to Job 20 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied: 2 “I must reply because I am greatly disturbed. 3 I’ve had to endure your insults, but now my spirit prompts me to reply. 4 “Don’t you realize that from the beginning of time, ever since people were first placed on the earth, 5 the triumph of the wicked has been short lived and the joy of the godless has been only temporary? 6 Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens and their heads touch the clouds, …
“With thee is the fountain of life.” Psalm 36:9
“With thee is the fountain of life.” Psalm 36:9 There are times in our spiritual experience when human counsel or sympathy, or religious ordinances, fail to comfort or help us. Why does our gracious God permit this? Perhaps it is because we have been living too much without him, and he therefore takes away everything upon which we have been in the habit of depending, that he may drive us to himself. It is a blessed thing to live at the fountain head. While our skin- bottles are full, we are content, like Hagar and Ishmael, to go into the …
THE DELIVERANCE FOR GOD’S CHILDREN
ISAIAH 41:10 _______________________________________________ “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” THE DELIVERANCE FOR GOD’S CHILDREN October 15, 2018 Throughout Scripture we see many examples of God’s deliverance such as Noah and his family being removed from judgement through the ark, the children of Israel being taken out of Egypt, and Daniel being freed from the lion’s den. There is a general truth when it comes to the protection of His people. God has promised …
Event Horizon
A black hole’s mass is concentrated at a single point deep in its heart, and clearly cannot be seen. The “hole” that can, in principle, be seen (although no-one has ever actually seen a black hole directly) is the region of space around the singularity where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, the fastest thing in the universe, can escape, and where the time dilation becomes almost infinite. A black hole is therefore bounded by a well-defined surface or edge known as the “event horizon”, within which nothing can be seen and nothing can escape, because the …
