“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display His craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make Him known.

The Finger of God
“Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not! For God said to Moses, ‘I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.’ So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it.” (Romans 9:14-16 NLT) RomansContinue reading “The Finger of God”

“Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us…’ So God created human beings in His own image. In the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:26a-27 NLT) In light of the wickedness in our world across the centuries, but especially inContinue reading “Are You An Image Bearer?”
Can We Come to God Anytime?
“Remember what it says: ‘Today when you hear His voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.’” (Hebrews 3:15 NLT) If anyone could have seen with crystal clarity the power of God, it should have been the freshly delivered Hebrew slaves from Egypt. For their entire lives all they’d ever known wasContinue reading “Can We Come to God Anytime?”
Unguarded Presence
“As Jesus went with him, He was surrounded by the crowds. A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding, and she could find no cure.
