❤️📖 FROM THE HEART | 12.09.2026 | 📐 The Geometry of God | Pastor Erton Köhler
A pizza is often delivered in a square box. Inside, it is round, and when it is served, it is cut into slices or triangles. It is a simple image, yet it conveys an important spiritual lesson. God’s geometry is not made up of geometric shapes – rather, it reveals how He leads His people.
Rigid thinking becomes hardened and resists change. Paul warned: “Do not conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). Many people become trapped in recurring patterns. The same habits return, and the same excuses appear again. God does not bless divided loyalty, because a spiritual triangle leads to confusion. Jesus said: “No one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24).
The cross reveals God’s plan more clearly than any geometric figure. It points upward toward heaven and at the same time outward toward humanity. There we find grace, forgiveness, and purpose. “For the love of Christ compels us” (2 Corinthians 5:14). This love sends the church out to people and into communities where hope is needed.
Let God renew your thinking. Let His grace break the patterns that are holding you back. Give Christ your whole heart. God’s plan always leads in a clear direction: outward with the gospel and upward toward the kingdom of God.
