    Worship is not something that we should give to God, but something we owe God. We are worshipping God because we owe God our worship rather than free will. For all that Jesus has done and accomplished on the Cross, we owe Jesus our worship. Even if we repay every second from now by our praise and ...read more

    Jesus Christ: The carpenter, who offended so many, is the disguised Son of God, full of majestic power and condescension.

    For performing a miracle or plan, God sometimes sends his angels, but to a person who seeks God, God comes directly (in person or through his presence) to meet him.
