     | 2,519 views

    Why The Law Cannot Fix Us Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 11, 2020
     | 2,716 views

    Although ignorance is a major problem in the Christian world, our biggest issue involves being rightly related to God. Many, sadly, look to law-keeping as the way to know God or receive His forgiveness. This simply will not work; we need regeneration, the work of the Holy Spirit within us.

    Why the Law Cannot Fix Us (Romans 7:1-25) 1. Happy Mother’s Day to all our moms. Moms come with all sorts of personalities and approaches toward parenting.

     | 2,132 views

    Not everyone is willing to forgive the truly repentant. This lack of forgiveness can be divided int three categories at least.

    Why Some Will Not Forgive Luke 15:25-32 Review: We forgive as God does, conditioned upon repentance. When we wrong another, and we take responsibility and ask forgiveness for the specific wrong, things are then out of our hands. If people forgive us, it is out of their graciousness. If they do ...read more
