    The mercy of God is not abstract—it is active, present, and powerful even in our most trying seasons. When crisis comes, we do not rely on our strength, wisdom, or righteousness. We lean wholly on the mercy of God that does not fail.

     | 4,400 views

    God’s holiness reveals man’s sin; His grace forgives. But first the man must come to a stark realization.

    It is the aim of the enemy of our souls and therefore the way of this passing world, to blur the lines. To fade black and darken white until all is gray and diluted and washed out. To render truth a matter of irrelevance and to diminish personal identity until the individual is measured as ...read more
