Original Belief in the Original Truth

Repurposing, resourcing, re-imaging, to move us all into the inner dimensions of our Triune God. Inspired by Pastors and Deacons, for Pastors and Deacons, to expand on the truth of God, to reach-out, to touch the faithless, and strengthen the faithfull.

Matthew 1:22-23

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

In God we trust ministries.

Next level resources to lead all closer to Christ.
Inspired by the Pastoral Staff and the Deacons of
the First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor.

 

A Creed to Search, Find, Knock

The concept of iGwt is to find gospel guided contributors and collaborators with stories imaging God's Word. The 'in God we trust' brand sewn into the tapestry of all our lives. Activation in the greater world, with patience, engaging closely, in kindness, for the greater good. To maintain a high visibility of God's love, through Jesus Christ, in the Spirit of peace, to productively advance this Sacred mission.


Confessions from an art guy.

Aside from the Gospels verses guiding the mission of iGwt, the writer of this site confesses that the wordsmithing is not very advanced, nor can it truly explain the focus of the vision for this ministry.

The Original Truth

John 1:1-3

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

"the grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever"

The Meaning of "Word" in Greek

The Greek word logos (λόγος) is usually translated in the Gospels as "word,"
it means "computation," "relation," "explanation," "law," "rule of conduct,"
"continuous statement," "tradition," "discussion," "reckoning,"
"reputation" (when applied to people), and "value."

This is a lot of variety, and there is no English ...

Word /wərd/

noun

writing, used with others (or sometimes alone) to form
a sentence and typically shown with a space on

Similar  term | name | expression | designation

2. a command, password, or signal: 
"someone gave me the word to start playing" 
Similar  instruction | order | command |signal

verb
choose and use particular words in order to say or write
(something): "he words his request in a particularly ironic way"
Similar:  phrase | express | put | couch | frame | set forth
exclamation   informal
used to express agreement: 
"“That Jay is one dangerous character.” “Word.”"

Pique 3:

Beginning of Real Prophecy

Prophets Delivered Messages

In the Old Testament of the Bible often conveyed God's will, warnings, promises, or revelations about the future. The nature of prophecy is foretelling or predicting future events (e.g., the coming of the Messiah, judgment on nations), and forthtelling or declaring God's message for the present (e.g., calling people to repentance). From the King James Version (KJV) containing numerous passages. 
 

Key Elements and Themes of Old Testament Prophecy: 

Judgment and Warning: Against sin and disobedience

Isaiah 1:18-20

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Thanks be to God

Hope and Restoration: Promises of deliverance and blessings

Jeremiah 31:31-34

31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Thanks be to God

Messianic Prophecy: Foretelling the coming of the Messiah

Zechariah 9:9

9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

Thanks be to God

The Day of the Lord: A future time of judgment and redemption

Joel 2:28-32

28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

Thanks be to God

Pique 4:

Schisms Cloaking Truth

Romans 8:26

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

"the grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever"

Houston, we have a problem.

Leadership paralysis, industrial and corporate regulation, over-amped media outlets, messages spun into loud, noisy puns, fuel the growth of producing stuff, to keep up with the Jones's. As the vice of financial greed grips, cranks down on, squeezes, pressing, constantly breaking the planet's ecosystem. In human terms, maybe beyond repair. "Wholistic" becomes "WHOAlistic".
 

The affairs of state come before the state of affairs.

Govermental departments such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) using Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes define every kind of company that is known by mankind. For profit, not for profit, corporate, personal, global, family, making and serving food, importing, exporting, deporting, shipping of products, transporting services, building buildings, prisons, cars, spaceships, and weapons. Covers everything except, human trafficking, money laundering, racial violence, there may be others.
 

The separation of church and state.

Church - There are around 45,000 denominations globally, according to studies like those from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity. Factors contributing to the total, Theological Differences, Geographical Spread, Historical Splits, Cultural Contexts, and Growth.
State - The number globally includes Countries, Territories, Regions, and Autonomous AreasIndependent Sovereign States, Dependent Territories, Global Governments, Democracies, Monarchies, Authoritarian Regimes, Transitional Governments with governance structures. Combining all these categories, there are likely over 700,000 governance and administrative entities globally.
 

What to do, what to do? Pray...

The Trinity is a concept and a mystery, constantly questioned.
