Life Examples: Jacob: Wrestling with God (Gen. 32:24-32)
The story of Jacob alternately comforts and confounds. For while we could look upon many of his decisions with contempt-and even wonder why God would so favor such a man-it equally reassures us to realize that the God who extended grace to

The neighbors cut down a shade tree., and Marylu was lamenting that, our shade landscaping was now sunny. When one of her favorite hostas died, she lamented its loss.

We must understand that God’s idea of “good” means that the events as a whole are constructive.
“A woman fell and broke her arm. Is that good? In and of itself it is not, but she went to the hospital, and the doctors found she also had cancer. Because it was found early enough she lived.”

When I was in the third grade (1963) the hot toy for boys that year was “The Riffleman’s Riffle”. It was a Loop-Lever-Winchester 44 caliber Rifle just like Lucas McCain’s rifle on the show….and every kid wanted one. I used to watch the show and fantasize that I was Marc McCane, Lucas McCain’s

Our favor with God would be enough if we thought that you would have:
Enough happiness to keep you sweet.
Enough trials to keep you strong.
Enough sorrow to keep you human.

Enough failure to keep you humble.
Enough success to keep you eager.

Joy is the assurance of faith that we are acceptable to God and that God’s good providences are working on our behalf. This joy is an inner calm

This is a story about a painting in a famous art gallery in France. The painting depicts two chess players, one of whom is Satan, who appears arrogantly confident, and the other is a man who looks forlorn. If Satan wins, he wins the man's soul. (The painting is now popularly known as

“God certainly can, and sometimes does, heal people in a miraculous way today. But the Bible does not teach that He will always heal those who come to Him in faith. He sovereignly reserves the right to heal or not to heal as He sees fit.” [Joni

When God wants to drill a man,
And thrill a man, And skill a man

Watch His methods, watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers
