Simply Divine

Product Information

Below is an edited extract from an Interview with Simply Divine Botanicals founder, Barbara Rogers, from 2015. All forms of companies (as permitted by the Companies Act) are incorporated and registered with Companies House and file specific details as required by legislation. One night in an act of Divine Intervention the answer was given to Barbara and the first product, Creme de Rose was born, and the formulas continue to come. Since that day her handcrafted, Reiki-energized skincare has drawn people from all over the world, not just for the healing qualities of these potent, heart-centered products, but for the generosity of spirit of this inspired woman.

Because of God’s blessed aseity, we can know that the very creation is a work of grace. Grace, then, is not merely his kindness to those who have sinned. Before there was sin, God brought creation into being out of grace. With the self-existent God, love is not a reaction. God’s love is creative. He gives life and being as a free gift, for his very life, being, and goodness are yeasty, spreading out that there might be more that is truly good. No, God is angry at evil because he loves. It is the proof of the sincerity of his love, that he truly cares. His love is not mild-mannered and limp; it is livid, potent, and committed. And therein lies our hope: through his wrath the living God shows that he is truly loving, and through his wrath he will destroy all devilry that we might enjoy him in a purified world, the home of righteousness. there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be counted as nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship. (Acts 19:27) By taking ethical, open, innovative and transparent approaches to data we can build greater levels of trust with citizens, whilst delivering more cost-effective and better targeted and tailored services to their needs.It is not, then, that God the Father has some deeper, secret identity and only chose at some point to be Father — as if he has a nice blob of fatherly icing on top. No, he is Father. All the way down. And for that to be true, for him to be eternally Father, he must eternally have a Son. That is who he is. That is his most fundamental identity. Thus, love is not something the Father has, merely one of his many moods. Rather, he is love. He could not not love. If he did not love, he would not be Father. He Remains Faithful I hope my story will inspire others not to be limited by their past or even their present. We truly are limited ONLY by our false beliefs. I am not special in anyway, if one can do it all can do it. We all have our gifts and our gaps but no one is greater than another. Yet in the New Testament, the Son can say, “Father, . . . you loved me before the foundation of the world” (John 17:24). The eternal Son, the one through whom all things were created, who is before all things (Colossians 1:15–19), who is Lord and God, was loved by the Father for all eternity. The Father, then, is eternally the Father of the eternal Son, and he finds his very identity, his Fatherhood, in loving his Son. Rather than organize it by types of recipes with all the appetizers in the front, she organized it by the mood of the party you might want to host, putting all the contenders for one party in one chapter. This makes it easier for the party host trying to pull together a cohesive menu. She recognizes great people and keeps them on her crew. Our event manager was on point, responsive, and wonderful!! Our chefs, bartenders, and servers knew their business and even their sanitation staff were super friendly and happy for us.

This book was a gift from a friend who knows I love the Housewives and knows that I love to entertain. This is not meant to be a book for high-brow entertaining (although you could defnitely use it for those types of gatherings); Lisa clearly wrote this book for mainstream middle-class women, who like to host get-togethers, but aren't quite sure how to make their efforts visually appealing. The photos are beautiful and reflect Vanderpump’s personal style of using a near neutral palette of creamy whites and blushing pinks with an eclectic mix of finds from antique stores, flea markets, and boutiques. She urges people not to worry about matching pieces, but instead to focus on getting pieces that are a neutral color. In fact, she says it’s better if they are mismatched. Regretfully, Christians do often speak of the divine attributes that way, as if they were divine flavors that sometimes sit uncomfortably alongside each other. For example, how often have you heard Christians say, “Yes, God is loving, but he is also wrathful.” We may know what’s meant, but phrased like that it can sound as if love and wrath are different moods — so that when he’s feeling one, he’s not feeling the other. But these are not separable parts of God, as if sometimes he has love and sometimes he has wrath.God is so overflowingly, superabundantly full of life in himself that he delighted to spread his goodness.”

Crucially, no! For God has not chosen to have or co-opt three parts called Father, Son, and Spirit. God is Father, Son, and Spirit. The difference may sound petty, but it is in fact most profound.

about us

This is why Paul can tell the Athenians, “The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything” (Acts 17:24–25). The living God isn’t in any need. He doesn’t need anything to be better, to be more God, or to be more fully himself. He depends on nothing. He has fullness of being. He has life in himself.
