Speaking Well of God in the Land of the Mayas
 
This series of meetings on the theme of "Speaking Well of God" was held in Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico June 10-13, 2010. This is the "land of the Mayas," with the historic Mayan center of Palenque not too far away. After learning more about the Mayas and their gods, the contrast with the message of God we shared couldn't have been greater!

Current concepts of salvation are very dependent upon legal images, primarily those of western justice. The courtroom scene is invoked to represent the way in which God "saves" us, primarily from the verdict and sentence of "Guilty". Consequently the mechanics of the saving process centre on the payment of penalties, substitutionary punishment, and the adjustment of the accused's legal standing (the blotting out of the Guilty verdict, satisfaction for sin, writing the person's name in the "right" book etc.)

Winter. The leaves are falling.
And the temperature’s over 80!
This is Rio—out of season in 1997… No Carnival, no blazing furnace pulsating to hypnotic rhythms, no midsummer madness. But it’s still more than hot enough for this Englishman out in the midday sun.

 What We Believe -- A message from Graham Maxwell
I believe that the most important of all Christian beliefs is the one that brings joy and assurance to God's friends everywhere -- the truth about our Heavenly Father that was confirmed at such cost by the life and death of His Son.
God is not the kind of person His enemies have made Him out to be -- arbitrary, unforgiving and severe. Jesus said, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father." God is just as loving and trustworthy as His Son, just as willing to forgive and heal. Though infinite in majesty and power, our Creator is an equally gracious Person who values nothing higher than the freedom, dignity, and individuality of His intelligent creatures -- that their love, their faith, their willingness to listen and obey may be freely given. He even prefers to regard us not as servants but as friends.
