    We are called on to act in a manner that pleases God. Elijah’s actions did not please God, but God still gave him what he needed to persevere in faith. We are called on to be united in Christ. We are to be one body that is wholly obedient to God.

    The events we read about in 1 Kings 19:1-9 occur just after Elijah and God have won the challenge against the gods of Baal. As a result of the deaths of the prophets of Baal, Queen Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah. Elijah has been forced to flee for his life. Elijah was discouraged. He had faced ...read more

    The Goodness Of God

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 29, 2015
     | 10,243 views

    God is available at all times to hear our prayers, to listen to our concerns and to be touched by the nonverbal communication of our feelings. In return, we must be increasingly acquainted with the voice of God. We must follow God each and every day.

    In the passage from James 1:17-27, James talks about the goodness of God. God doesn’t tempt us to do evil things, but he often uses life’s challenges to strengthen and perfect us. In the process we become more like God. Instead of tempting us to do evil things, God gives us good gifts. ...read more
