I’ll never forget a scientific experiment that occurred in my life years ago. I had decided that I didn’t have any use for my gas stove in my kitchen anymore – I was just going to send out for food, or prepare it in my microwave. There had been a slight smell of gas, but I had super strong, thick, impenetrable plastic tape that I could wind around it. I wound it and wound it and wound it and wound it around, around, around. Guess what happened? In a flash the gas passed through like it was a fishnet stocking! The tape didn’t stop it in the least! Finally I took some spackle, made plaster out of it and built a concrete wall around the gas leak and voila! It was gone!!!
But what a lesson in basic physics!!! There are things that can’t be blocked out by a weak, wimpy quasi-treatment. It needed to be dealt with by something infinitely stronger!

Mathematical beauty
QUANTUM PHYSICS AND THE DIVINE PROPORTION
We have seen that there is a mathematical beauty that interpenetrates all of nature and this phenomenon deepens the mystery of intelligent self-ordering matter. Some readers may already be familiar with the “Golden Section” and the Fibonacci numbers which reveal a staggering mathematical harmony in nature’s geometry that is deeply embedded throughout the construction of all matter. For millennia some of the greatest mathematicians and philosophers have marveled at the mathematical patterns that permeate all of nature. How is it that atoms can mysteriously come together to build molecules and molecules can come together to build matter with these same mathematical patterns that exist all the way up from quarks to solar systems? Why is there a mysterious mathematical relationship between the sub-atomic “parts” and the “whole” of the human body? There is such an intrinsic aesthetic beauty in the ratios and proportions found in nature that the mathematical monk, Luca Pacioli, first used the term Divine Proportion in the 15th century to describe this phenomenon. He wrote a book under the same title that was beautifully illustrated by Leonardo Da Vinci, who is credited with the conception of the term Golden Section. The exact mathematical proportion of the Golden Section has a specific number and that is ϕ, pronounced “fye.” Mario Livio, the author of The Golden Ratio, considers ϕ to be the “world’s most astonishing number.” In his fascinating book he has a chapter titled, “Is God a Mathematician?” Livio is inclined toward the view that “God is indeed a Mathematician.”2 He is compelled toward this conclusion because there are certain mathematical miracles that have been discovered that clearly exist independently of the human mind. He writes, To claim that mathematics is purely a human invention…ignores some important facts in the nature of mathematics. First, while the mathematical rules (e.g., the axioms of geometry or of set theory) are indeed creations of the human mind, once those rules are specified, we lose our freedom. The definition of the Golden Ratio emerged originally from the axioms of Euclidean geometry; the definition of the Fibonacci sequence from the axioms of the theory of numbers. Yet the fact that the ratio of successive Fibonacci numbers converge to the Golden Ratio was imposed upon us – humans had no choice in the matter. Therefore, mathematical objects, albeit imaginary do have real properties.3 As we explore this divine pattern in nature it strengthens the conviction that God is the author of nature and that His mathematical signature can be found everywhere in His creation. Remember that nature itself is a revelation of God and that all of nature declares the glory of God. King Solomon was fascinated by the wisdom of God embedded in nature. He said, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” (Proverbs 25:2) “He composed some 3,000 proverbs and wrote 1,005 songs. He could speak with authority about all kinds of plants…He could also speak about animals, birds, reptiles, and fish.” (1 Kings 4:32-33 NLT) Solomon was intrigued by the revelation of God in nature! If he were alive today we might speculate that he would be fascinated by the divine proportion in nature. There are deep mysteries concealed in the heart of matter that only highly advanced technologies are capable of probing at the deepest level. We are living in an era when scientists are discovering nature’s secrets all the way down to the quarks and the leptons that make the sub-atomic particles within the atom and, amazingly, the same mathematical patterns are emerging within the quantum field!

The Matrix
Of the many ways we could define the Divine Matrix, perhaps the simplest is to think of it as being three basic things: (1) the container for the universe to exist within; (2) the bridge between our inner and outer worlds; and (3) the mirror that reflects our everyday thoughts, feelings, emotions, and beliefs.

EVER WONDER…
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why women can’t put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why you don’t ever see the headline “Psychic Wins Lottery”?
Why “abbreviated” is such a long word?
Why doctors call what they do “practice”?
Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons?
Why the man who invests all your money is called a broker?
Why there isn’t mouse-flavored cat food? who tastes dog food when it has a “new & improved” flavor?
Why they don’t make the whole plane out of the material used for the indestructible black box ?
Why sheep don’t shrink when it rains?
Why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together?
Why they call the airport “the terminal” if flying is so safe?

God will never leave = Biblical
As a young Christian, I was always told that God would take His presence away from me when ever I sinned because fellowship was broken; but that is NOT biblical….
Here’s what Jesus and His Word has to say about that….
“I will never leave you”… “I am with you always”… “I do not condemn you”… “You are forgiven”… “Where sin abounds Grace abounds even more”… “Your sins are No Longer counted against you”… “My love keeps no record of your wrong doings”… “And I give you eternal life, and you shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch you out of My hand.”

Secular Language Glitches
HEAR YE !! HEAR YE !!
I put out a “list” of Christian terminology that is undergoing an upgrade. Being a multi-linguist myself (and please don’t tell me they have an ointment for that!), I am painfully aware of secular language glitches that just won’t quit! “I am sure”, It must be” “It has to be” “I know it is” all denote tentativeness, uncertainty! How in the blazes can we ever be sure? Leave out the adjectival phrases altogether, and simply state your case.
Then we need to take into consideration cultural differences. I wanted to thank a guy for his thoughtfulness, and started to write “you’re so sweet”. Then I worried that it might not be perceived like Jonathan Swift’s Sweetness and Light in Nigeria.
Woe is us. Communication is getting more and more complex despite all the shortcuts that telegraphic, internet language and pictographs afford. Haven’t you done the same thing: write – delete – write – delete, and finally go to your gallery and send them a pic instead?
God is not only in you, you’re in him.
Do you think that God is in you
And that you have to contend with
A sometimes nasty, unsympathetic world?
Think again!
God is not only in you – You are in Him.
Acts 17:28 KJV
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. IN HIM, AND IN OUR SPIRITUAL BODIES, WE ARE NOW PERFECT .
Commanding respect
COMMANDING RESPECT
I once followed a pastor
Because his insights were
Most revelatory and new
And he commanded a certain
Kind of respect that drew me
To the safety of his
All-knowing wisdom.
I felt so many illusions
Dissipate from whence they came.
Noticed too that all the precious
Reverence for God and his Son
Was fast departing as well.
Dear friends, don’t get sucked in
To a brand new idol worship.
The Holy Spirit of
Almighty God is capable
Of talking to you quite directly
Up to and until You start
To command respect.
[For my ESL friends: “command respect” generally has a very positive application. However I’m deliberately using it here to denote man’s taking the issue too far, taking it upon himself when it is the purview of God; used like ‘demand’.]
