This site is a personal ministry to help Christians embrace, nurture and reflect a recognition of participation in the ministry of our LORD Jesus Christ and a unity with God the Father, so the world may know the Father sent the Son and loves us even as He loves His one and only begotten Son.  "In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the universe.  The son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word." (Heb 1:1-3)  This site looks to the Word spoken by God's Son and seeks to know the reality in Christ as part of daily life. 

Thank you for your time and personal investment as together we seek to understand God's reality as revealed in His Son.

In His Love,
James H. Newport

This is the Monarch butterfly I watched transition from a caterpillar who built his chrysalis on a plant on our lanai in Hawaii.  I chose this theme for my website headers because it captures the concept of transformation in the life of a Christian. I often wonder what the caterpillar thought of his life of toil and tribulation as he foraged for food; of what his thoughts were entering the chrysalis; and what his first second of flight must have been like.  "When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." (Col 3:4) And "we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." (1 Jn 3:2). "And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven." (1 Co 14:49)  Amen, so be it.
