One commentator said that motherhood is a painful privilege. I guess that it is easy for me to say, being a man, but I like that. A painful ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 2,813 views

    We have to take seriously the judgment texts in the New Testament, but temper them with the parable of the fig tree. God goes to extraordinary lengths so that as many as possible can be saved. God says, "Give it one more year."

    God Doesn’t Give Up Easily October 16, 2005 Luke 13:6-9 Sam was a sad, small little boy and had lived a life that no one, especially someone so young, should have to endure.

     | 6,356 views

    The one thing to remember is this: whatever history may throw at us; today, tomorrow, next week, or next year, we don’t have to be afraid. We are precious in the Lord’s sight and he loves us.

    The One Thing II Thessalonians 2:1-5-13-17 September 25, 2005 This is the season of meetings.
