In Philippians, St Paul is telling us to press on regardless of our stories—both successes and failures in them. He is asking us to continue to allow Christ to form Paul’s motto—“Not I, but Christ” in us all the way until we are face to His Face.
What God has begun in us, is irrevocable, and He is able to complete it. The formation of our true selves in perfect alignment with His Life and Nature in Christ is accomplishable by God. In short, God is able, as Paul puts it.
There is great comfort in this. And then Paul describes what happens along this way: increasing Love, knowledge and insight! The fruits of righteousness, as Paul called them, start forming increasingly in us. That’s the way into the Life of Christ. And this was Paul’s encouragement for his brothers and sisters in Pillipi.
He who started, will complete His work inside of us, until we, like Him are made whole, one. God wants to be One in us through His Son who was and is One. And Paul is promising that God is able to complete this “good work” in us. Nice promise. Let’s live it out!
The Oneness of God is our hope. It is the basis for us becoming more one whole integrated being. He wants to, through His Son, align us into Him, so that we are ever increasingly becoming more Real, more truly ourselves. Poems, hidden in Christ for The glory of His Father! Amen.
God’s oneness is the basis of our healing or being made more whole. The Shema is everything friends! God is One, God loves us, God wants to make us one. Then we can be helping others become more one, or baptizing them more deeply into each of His Three Names—which is the great commission!
These three foundations: God is One, God loves us, God is able to make us whole; these, are the basic foundation for real healing in life. Everything else rest on The Shema!

If God’s not One, then He didn’t send the Son, and our whole Christ-centered faith is in vain. Everything, then rest on the Shema. God is One in Himself, therefore everything else is True! And we are being made new creatures in Him! The whole new creation rest on the fact that God is One! And then that He is Love, and Loves us so much to have sent His only Son! Everything precedes from The Shema!

My own message has to do with helping people be who they really are, and locate themselves in God’s story of them. To become the poems they truly are in Him. To help people find the true image of themselves, necessarily involves them meeting Christ, because He is who tell us our names, and helps us become them. Peter saw Jesus, so Jesus told Him his real name. That’s the path towards true identity. I’ve tried to stay on that path, and to help others get on this trajectory to who they really are. It’s a joy mostly to see people come home! And it’s my life’s task, as I become the living song I am meant to be as well. This is the true identity journey we all eventually must get on! The principles behind it, are that God loves us and want to bring us home into the Name of our true names. The identity above all others is His (the Name above all names), and it is in Him that our real names are hidden and revealed. He contains the white stone room where our eternal names are written, and knows how to guide us there.
