The Rainbow Covenant


Book Description

All of God's physical Creation reflects a higher spiritual Reality. In that Creation, light is synonymous with Truth or God; who is the source of Truth. It should surprise no one that when you unwrap light to find the Rainbow, the Rainbow gives a detailed account of what God is all about. He is about loving and saving mankind by wooing them into the Rainbow Covenant of Marriage. From the red blood sacrifice of the Gospel Truth of Jesus, to the purple royalty of the Holy Spirit; God's constant and repeated message is that there is only one way to attain the purple royalty that is God's. That way is through faith in the red blood sacrifice of Jesus as the propitiation for our sins. He is the only gate or door into the Rainbow Covenant. We are all spiritual Cinderella's, enslaved to the 3 evil stepsisters of the world, the flesh and the Devil. But the Prince can raise us up out of the ashes and into the beauty of a royal mansion. There is another option, however. We can reject God's suit and pursue a life of self-will. We know that marriage means the death of self-will. This book describes the Dark Path of Separation from God that is the shadow opposite of the Rainbow Covenant of Marriage. Cain was the first to tread this path to its bitter end; which for mankind in this Age of Engagement, is incontrovertible sentencing or engagement to separation from God in the Lake of Fire. But it is God's will that all be saved. There's more than enough room in the lifeboat that I choose to call, "The Rainbow Covenant".

Rainbow of Mysteries


Book Description

Have you ever wondered how you can connect with the sacred in nature, or whether there is anything sacred in nature? Has the Christian tradition obscured the sacredness of nature? Is the Bible alive to the wonder of creation? How can we sustain a sense of mystery and an appreciation of the sacred in nature? In the biblical Flood narrative, the rainbow was the sign of God's covenant promise to never again to destroy the Earth with flood waters. The rainbow served to remind God of God's own bond with Earth. "My rainbow," says Habel, "represents my covenant promise to explore my bonds with Earth, my spiritual connections with creation." Each colour represents an often-overlooked aspect of creation and inspires the reader to consider our place in nature. Using poetry and prose, Norman Habel journeys deep into his personal experiences of the sacred in nature, from his initial sense of alienation from Earth to his eventual "homecoming." Along the way, he investigates seven wonders of nature and their spiritual dimensions or mysteries. He explores biblical texts that praise or suppress creation and examines each mystery through the lens of ecology and his own experiences. Ultimately his goal is to discern how to sustain each mystery and its spiritual dimension. The book includes a suggested workshop outline, and seven rites to explore mystery in nature.

The Battle for the Beginning


Book Description

The battle lines have been drawn. Is the enemy winning? "Thanks to the theory of evolution," writes best-selling author John MacArthur, "naturalism is now the dominant religion of modern society. Less than a century and a half ago, Charles Darwin popularized the credo for this secular religion. Naturalism has now replaced Christianity as the main religion of the Western world, and evolution has become its principal dogma." Many Christians who claim to believe that the Bible is God's revealed truth seem willing to allow modern scientific theories to replace the Genesis account of creation. Such compromises present a conspicuous danger. Bible teacher and pastor, John MacArthur, believes that in Genesis 1-3 we find the foundation of every doctrine that is essential to the Christian faith?the vital underpinnings for everything we believe. The Battle for the Beginning draws a clear line on today's theological landscape. "Everything in Scripture that teaches about sin and redemption assumes the literal truth of the first three chapters of Genesis. If we wobble to any degree on the truth of this passage," John MacArthur insists, "we undermind the very foundations of our faith."
