About the name, "God...on purpose." This blog was established for me by my favorite son and daughter-in-law to help me record the books based on God's Word that have been rolling around on the inside of my spirit for years. The hope is that then, those revelations would help us both. They had to set it up for me because my concept of technology when writing stops at a yellow pad and a ballpoint pen. The high-tech part is that the pen has gel ink. The name comes from the cause of my dismissal from many chuches that I have attended over the years, all of which believed "every word of the Bible." Sometimes, when being exposed to someone who believes that God is still doing exactly what that Word says, well, it can cause the "faith" we have experienced to clash uncomfortably with the Truth of that Word. You see, it is a simple-minded belief, I know, but I believe that the God Who said that He is the same yesterday, today and forever, the God Who said, "Light be!" and light was, the God Who spoke to Jesus every thing He said and showed Jesus everything He subsequently did--and He did it all on purpose--I believe He's still doing it ON PURPOSE!

Of course, this writer's faith is full of gaps and holes. I have seen, and often participated in, the miracle action of the Word, yet still limit Him in His "on-purpose-ing" by the smallness of my ability to "see Him perform it," just as Jesus did. So when you measure what you read here, measure it as watered down and weak when it comes to the "Truth of that Word" as mentioned above. Perhaps, together, we'll approach His Word with more boldness, confidence and an abandonment of pride-killing faith as we learn together. For He is indeed the

God Who does everything He does and has promised

ON PURPOSE!
