What kind of Jesus do you see in Idaho Falls?

Would you be seeing this? A nice, middle-class American Jesus.  A Jesus who doesn’t mind materialism and who would never call us to give away everything we have.  A Jesus who would not expect us to forsake our closest relationship so that he receives all our affection.  A Jesus who is fine with nominal devotion that does not infringe […]

Visual Theology – The Trinity

Tim provides a visual of the Trinity. In our neck of the woods, Jesus is taught as a lower divine being in submission to God.  In our church family’s current study of I Corinthians 15, one verse stands out particularly in regards to this issue: Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the […]
