    Message focuses on the sovereignty of God, divine retribution on nations that oppress God's people, and God's vindication of his elect. This word of comfort and assurance has timeless application for God's people of all ages.

    Life is not fair! The godly suffer unjustly, and the wicked seem to get away with their evil deeds. Unbelievers point to all the pain and suffering in the world and defiantly say, “If God is a just, loving God, why does he allow war? Why does he allow disease and famine?

    When Two Remain Two: Marriage To An Unbeliever Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 1,614 views

    As long as the divorce is sought by, and initiated by, the unbeliever, the Christian spouse is not enslaved to Jesus’ command not to divorce. Yet, the believer will plead with the unconverted spouse to change their mind on wanting a divorce.

It is the fabric of so many of our families where dad and mom set up a home. Their love is constant. Their love is normalcy. Romantic ...read more

    This is an insert to my book, "The Narrow Road" on Amazon.The sermon discusses how lawlessness, defined as the rejection of biblical authority and moral order, is increasingly evident in society and even within churches, leading to confusion and chaos.
