Tough And Tender Love

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jul 18, 2021

God’s love is tender, but it’s also tough. God is a God of justice as well as a God of mercy, and it’s from both that God deals with His people. In Zephaniah’s prophecy, we see both sides of God’s love, the toughness in judgment, and tenderness in His mercy.

Follow My Example Series

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 19, 2021

Jesus invites us into a fellowship with all of humanity. In this family there is no room for prejudice. We understand the value of grace in our lives when we busy ourselves with extending grace and fellowship to all people, having a philanthropic spirit.
