Parhelia: God's Creation on Display

What is it!?

And so...how can you become a new creation?


Ephesians 4:17-24

..."So this I say, 

and affirm together with the Lord, 

that you walk no longer 

just as the Gentiles also walk, 

in the futility of their mind, 

being darkened 

in their understanding, 

excluded from the life of God 

because of the ignorance 

that is in them, 

because of the hardness 

of their heart; 

and they, 

having become callous,

have given themselves 

over to sensuality 

for the practice of every kind 

of impurity with greediness.


But you did not learn Christ in this way, 

if indeed you have heard Him and 

have been taught in Him, 

just as truth is in Jesus, 

that, in reference 

to your former manner of life, 

you lay aside the old self, 

which is being corrupted 

in accordance with the lusts of deceit, 

and that you be renewed 

in the spirit of your mind, 

and put on the new self, 

which in the likeness of God 

has been created in righteousness 

and holiness of the truth."...

Romans 6  


John 3 


Acts 2

..." ‘I saw the Lord always in my presence;

For He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken.

‘Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue exulted;

Moreover my flesh also will live in hope;

Because You will not abandon my soul to Hades,

Nor allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

‘You have made known to me the ways of life;

You will make me full of gladness with Your presence.’ "...
