Read Between The Worlds

Audio Book Episode Mission Not So Impossible At last, the battle lines are drawn. The playing field has been leveled. The time-race is temporarily stripped of access to the eternal realm and prohibited from experiencing the power of union. The elohim are barred from the spatial world and confined to a region that has only one thing left in common with the earthly dimension, time. The two races are now locked in battle. The outcome will mean the ultimate destruction of all of the rebel elohim and a significant number of the time-creatures who embrace their rebellion; but most excitingly, it will result in the bringing together of all things in heaven and on earth a condition that has not been seen since the rebellion in the garden.

Who's Holding the Rope? Domination and passivity have nothing to do with submission. In fact, they are exactly NOT what subjection is about. They are opposed to the central feature of the human character that is distinctly in His image: the ability to choose—more than that, the requirement to choose.

Audio Book Episode Perfume on the Latch Even now the Creator is preparing an army of time-creatures, a human army, to bring an end to the elohim insurgency. He has put the responsibility for training in the hands of The Seed, Jesus. He is a combat veteran, a living lesson who has fought in the trenches facing and defeating death. He demonstrated by example the secret of a fully responsive spirit. He is skilled in the use of submission, the weaponry of this war.

Audio Book Episode An Apparent Need for Parents Jesus, the submitted son, was a careful observer of the Father, and a faithful imitator. That is a picture of wisdom. Paul calls Jesus “God’s mystery…in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Just as wisdom is personified in the 8th chapter of Proverbs, Jesus’ example of subjection to the Father becomes the living embodiment of wisdom and wise behavior in the New Testament.

Audio Book Episode My Master, My Mentor Christ as a son, demonstrated how to act like the Father, but Christ, the servant, teaches how to act on behalf of the Father. The child’s role draws life from simply being—we are children. The servant, on the other hand, learns to defer his own purposes to those of another. The will of the master is the duty of the slave.

Audio Book Episode Lord, Pierce My Ear As bondslaves we have something very important to lay before the Master: our freedom. To walk again in a fully responsive relationship with Him as we were designed —this is God’s definition of “liberty”—we have to be willing to walk in submission, understanding the will of God and choosing it.

Audio Book Episode To Love and to Cherish There is something in the triune nature of God that is revealed in the “two-become-one” imagery of the bride and bridegroom.

Audio Book Episode "Heirarchy" How does one go about living in an “heirarchy?” If order in the home and church isn’t established by the rank of its members but by their roles how does the whole thing keep from flying apart in a great power struggle?

Audio Book Episode Part 3: Deployment In the Arms of Love The story of redemption is a romance. It is a story of God’s unrequited love, His relentless pursuit of His faithless bride. It is the tale of His boundless heart, His passion, His sacrificial quest to restore relationship. God extends to humanity an invitation to once again rest in His love and to be subject to Him as a child, a servant, and a bride:

Audio Book Episode Key to Unity: All for One One of the reasons that unity suffers among Christians in America is that we tend to preserve hierarchical structure in our churches. Rather than operate according to the principle of “one body with many equally valuable members” we often elevate some gifts above the others. In essence we make celebrities out of those that have “public” gifts such as pastors, administrators, and worship leaders, while people who exercise “lesser” gifts remain non-functional, and sometimes become dysfunctional. The reality is that we have inadvertently created “key roles” that become lightning rods for conflict.

Audio Book Episode The Secret Weapon of Warfare Humility and submission work against divisions and strife, which divide the church and prevent it from standing. If we intend to be victorious in the battle to reclaim planet Earth, the key will be learning submission. If we don’t, we will find God a fearsome opponent. No amount of training in submission—learning the strength of family, the power of servanthood, the ability of a devoted bride—can mitigate the fatal error of pride. The good news is that if we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of the Creator, no weapon formed against us will stand.

Audio Book Episode Arise My Beloved Two millennia ago a healing began. As C.S. Lewis put it, God had “landed on this enemy-occupied world in human form.”[1] At the cross, the veil of separation was shredded as the “Spirit of life in Christ Jesus” burst into the perishing human heart. For twenty centuries that same Spirit has been applying the healing balm of restoration that is submission.

This is the last chapter of the audiobook series, Marriage Rx - Prescription for a Radical Marriage. Trust is the very essence of love-based relating, as we explored in the previous chapter. God is love. We love each other because He first loved us. When we love each other we are expressing the pure character of God. Love and trust go hand in hand, and together they overcome fear. 

The way we relate together determines what kind of relationship we have. We experience and demonstrate oneness as we treat each other with love. This is the mystery of  merging two separate identities into one, and it only happens through the bond of love. Chapter 5 explores the kinds of relating in a marriage and how to discover the healthiest way of sharing identity. 

This chapter discusses one of the most important skills in any marriage: forgiving, being forgiven and practicing reconciliation. Far from the silly old aphorism, "love means never having to say your sorry" forgiveness is perhaps the most vital component of a loving relationship. 

Chapter three of Marriage Rx - Prescription for a radical marriage, has a provocative title, "Naked and Unashamed," but it doesn't have to do with clothing. Rather, it speaks to the importance of transparency in our relationship with God and one another. Welcome to the third installment of Read Between the Worlds audio book episodes.
