What God does on behalf of His people

March 13, 2021 My favorite thing about Exodus is a theme = “I AM who I AM”. The entire book is about what God does on behalf of His people.

Guilty But Pardoned Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

I cannot give away what I do not have, and so we must first be forgiven in order to forgive. We must believe in God's free grace of forgiveness before we can be free to forgive those who sin against us.

If God did not pardon the guilty there would be no Gospel, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Even so, we feel there is a danger in being too merciful. Abraham Lincoln was accused of this during the Civil War when he seemed willing to pardon just about anyone. He would defend ...read more

A Reality Frozen In Anticipation

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021

There are moments in life when the webbing of our delusions lift, and we are able to see the truth unobstructed. Oh so rarely do we get to see things in the fullness of how they really are. Our preconceptions cloud situations. Our minds cloud things.

Under Angelic Protection Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 28, 2021

You may have observed the additional security being provided by the government for those who are in high positions, especially if there is a threat to their life. However, as children of God we need to be reminded that our protection comes not from men, but from God Himself.

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 17, 2025

The people in Jesus’ day had various perception of who He was, but Peter the disciple of Jesus truly understood who Jesus was. The important question we need to ask ourselves is, “Who is Jesus to us personally?” The answer to this is vital both for now and for eternity.

We read in Matthew 16:13, Now after coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples, saying, "Who do men declare Me, the Son of man, to be?" (AFV) The above was the question that Jesus asked His disciples. Jesus had performed so many miraculous signs and ...read more
