I have a dream today ... I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low. The rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith that I go several countries across the world. With the faith of Jesus we will build upon the cornerstone the temple of the Lord. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nations into the beautiful symphony Philadelphia brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to face opposition together, to preach freedom together, knowing that we are sons and daughters of a tender Father who does not use any principle of force, violence and death.
We choose to go to build the temple of the Lord. We choose to go to build the temple of the Lord in the next 25 years and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are promised, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
What is God really like? Jesus came to this world to reveal the character of God. He is the perfect expression of Him. Jesus said to Philip in John 14:9 "If you have seen me you have seen the Father."

This video is from the book called Agape.

The condemning power of Satan would lead him to institute a theory of justice inconsistent with mercy. He claims to be officiating as the voice and power of God, claims that his decisions are justice, are pure and without fault. Thus he takes his position on the judgment seat and declares that his counsels are infallible. Here his merciless justice comes in, a counterfeit of justice, abhorrent to God. {CTr 11.4}
It was generally believed by the Jews that sin is punished in this life. Every affliction was regarded as the penalty of some wrongdoing, either of the sufferer himself or of his parents. It is true that all suffering results from the transgression of God’s law, but this truth had become perverted. Satan, the author of sin and all its results, had led men to look upon disease and death as proceeding from God,—as punishment arbitrarily inflicted on account of sin. Hence one upon whom some great affliction or calamity had fallen had the additional burden of being regarded as a great sinner. – {DA 471.1}

My teenage years blossomed against the backdrop of the digital revolution of the eightes when video killed the radio star. I grew up looking at screens filled with space invaders, pac man and astroids. I was steadily dragged into the vortex of popular culture and one song stands out in my mind. A song that poses a vital question. "What is love anyway, does anybody love anybody anyway?" The song begins with a portrayal of a beautiful type of love that is not troubled by doubts.
