Earthly, Natural, Demonic

Posted on September 14, 2023September 14, 2023 by Pam

I don’t know if everyone in Heaven will be beautiful but I am guessing yes. I can’t imagine pimples or any other condition that caused shame and embarrassment here. What was once natural in the physical world, and familiar, should be better. A new body is promised and Jesus is the first fruits. James 3:16, “For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing”. In context, this section of James is about wisdom from above which is very different from wisdom below. We are made in the image of God but do we act like it? The outcomes in this life are unspecified. The promises are for later so we wait and deal. We deal with gravity, jealousy, and selfish ambition on planet earth as well as a myriad of limitations. We cannot save Mother Earth. We go for “natural” fabrics and food. Close to Mother Nature guarantees better? Demonic is under the earthly, natural earth but is never going to qualify for Heaven where we qualify because of the blood of the Lamb. God’s Son and Servant King gave it all – a perfect Lamb. The next verse, 17, follows with, “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy”. Amazing words – every one of them. How different will things be compared to where we live now.

"Thoughts from a genuinely evaluative mind."

Pam writes so that must make her a writer. Recently retired, she can now fill days with family, friends, missions, writing, creating, and showing up for whomever needs her. Pam loves the Lord and people. The Bible is God’s love letter to us (and who does not need more love) so she studies and writes some more.

Pam lives in the Pacific Northwest but was home-grown in Southern California. She attended San Jose Bible College and finished a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry at UCLA. She became a teacher, then a Research and Development Chemist, then she built two successful real estate businesses in two states. Pam also pursued study at Fuller Theological Seminary and just completed six months serving in missions abroad.

Pam has two amazing children, married to two precious in-laws, and five sweet grandchildren. Pam is a gifted connector and communicator and the Northwest has the perfect climate for staying inside and writing – or baking! She has been writing since a wee one and is currently converting many years of blogging, by topic, into ten books. The first is a collection from 2011 titled, Beautiful Enough. The second is a yearly day-timer titled, Weekly Planner - Lessons in Life, Glory, and Grace. Number three is in progress with the working title, Christmas Today.

  8. She thinks mission work is the most important work in the world.
  9. The church started in Rome so she is learning Italian.
