Experiencing the Word of God


Partakers of the Divine Nature: What is Theosis?

"Just wanted to let you know how much all of us appreciated your remarkable comments on Faith and Medicine last week. Your observations about how it is impossible to heal the body without also healing the soul and the spirit were not only powerful, but also eloquently stated. Many have commented about how beautifully you capture what so many of us feel, but find very difficult to put into words. Thank you for helping us illustrate the strong interplay between faith and healing."

The Pentecost

God deals with His people through covenant. It is therefore important to understand how God covenants with His people, if we are to understand how He deals with us. God covenanted with Abraham in a reciprocal but unequal relationship. God’s second covenant with mankind is through His person in Christ. Christ promised to send us the Holy Spirit to teach and comfort us, but also to connect us to Him. Just as the Holy Spirit brought God into flesh through the cooperation of Mary, the Holy Spirit connects us to Christ’s resurrected body, to create "The Church" in the world. When the Holy Spirit anoints the apostles on Pentecost, God seals His New Covenant with us. How does this affect you, your process of Theosis, humankind, and nature?  Come learn more with Cynthia Kostas in a discussion that will awaken you to the incredible cosmic event celebrated at Pentecost.
