Labor of Love

 Labor of Love                                        

 by Danny C. Wash




"To the woman He [God] said, ‘I will greatly 
multiply your [Eve] pain in childbirth, in pain 
you shall bring forth children...” Genesis 3:16


The childbirth labor of love

was put upon Eve from above.

Out of her labor pains of birth 

the inhabitants of the earth

were born into this domain.

This curse of Eve’s birth pain

was the result of her sin

and was a forerunner and type

of Christ’s passion & pain

upon the cross as He was slain. 

We were in Him by God’s favor

and through His pain of labor,

on the cross and His rejection,

caused not by His sin but ours,

we, as His body & church, were born

as a new race by God’s direction

onto this earth that Sunday morn

in His resurrection after He was torn.

  The Lord Is Very Near                                         by Danny C. Wash "Whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved." Romans 10:13 The Lord is very near, so we should have no fear. He loves and cares for us so we should in Him trust. He redeemed us from sin’s hold, so we are free and  can  be bold in Him to carry us to victory through our life’s many mysteries and to someday stand before His throne, without blame in His merit & name alone.

God’s Mystery                                                           by Danny C. Wash                                                  “ The mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations; but has now been manifested to  His saints.” Colossians 1:26 What is God’s mystery?  A mystery is a secret, an unknown thing. Something that is not easily understood. But, God’s mystery has now been revealed to  anyone who will ask, seek, and knock, as Jesus  has said. God’s mystery is, Christ in you, the hope  of glory and you complete in Christ. This secret was  hidden from the past generations before the cross  and the victory of the resurrection. The demons did not know the secret, so they participated unknowingly  in the revealing of the secret by nailing Jesus to the  cross thinking they had the victory only to be defeated  on the third day in the resurrection of Jesus. Jesus became  the Messiah, the Savior, the Christ. And, then it was revealed  that by God’s act we were p

 An Email to a Friend About What Christians Believe                                                                                                                                                       David , I  enjoyed talking with you about Judaism and Christianity.  I could tell you have a real interest in spiritual matters.   When we were talking we didn’t have a chance to finish our discussion about the Christian concept of God being One God. First, let me say that the below is not to be taken as an argument against your beliefs, it is just a statement of what I believe most Christians believe.   As I said, Christians believe that God is One, in the sense that the Godhead is three in One- the Father, the Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (what has been called “the Trinity”). The three are distinct personalities, but are not separate, in Christian thought. How that really works is one of the mysteries of our belief.  As you may know (and I don’t know your level of knowledge abo
