I am not saying that it is easy but it doesn't have to be convoluted with a long list of do's and don'ts.

    Learn more about the character and attributes of God. It is difficult to please God or respond to Him appropriately if we do not know what He is like.

    Sovereignty of God Why is the study of God’s sovereignty important? Accepting someone’s sovereignty is never easy. God says that He is sovereign and as a result He does things that is all right for a sovereign God to do. But we humans object. We tell God that even if He is sovereign, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,305 views

    No matter how difficult our lives may be, God has not left us alone. Often, when things are difficult and God seems silent, it is our cue to come away from life’s distractions so that we can synchronize ourselves with God again.

    “When Prayers Go Unanswered” Habakkuk 1:2 NIV 2 How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? At times it may seem that God has hides His face from us, when we don’t receive an immediate answer to our prayers. We pray, we pour our hearts out to God, we ...read more

    The Problem Of If Series

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 21, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,059 views

    I don’t like “if”. If if requires me to do something in order to get something good, I’d rather depend on the certainty of God’s work. God doesn’t require much-all I have to do is continue in the faith Paul serves. That’s easy, right?

    A few days ago we talked about our security in Christ. Our salvation and acceptance before God are secure because it is based on Jesus and His work and sacrifice, not on ours. Here Paul presents the other side of the coin of security. If That’s a conditional word. We’re reconciled to God through ...read more
