May 02 2022 When God Moved Into The Neighbourhood
Reading Time: 10 minutesI think our view or perspective of God and His intentions may have been shaped by many things, but the Bible sets the narrative straight pretty much right away, declaring His intent and purpose from the beginning. We read in Genesis 1:6 that God said “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the…
