God's Tender Mercies

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 29, 2008

God does discipline His children who approach the Lord’s Table with unholy attitudes. This is does as an act of love. If we were properly evaluating ourselves, we would not be judged.

When we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.” No doubt the title of the message appears strange to some people.

Raising Your Kids To Be Followers Of Jesus Rather Than Fans

There are contrasting ways to go about any task. There is striving, pushing and fighting verses a dependence on God.
