The Limitless Love Of God

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jun 7, 2022

How should we respond to those who have radical beliefs and lifestyles contrary to our beliefs? The temptation is to counter their viciousness and label them as an enemy. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a model for the attitude that we are to have when faced with divisive social issues.

If not careful, as we study the Bible, we will pick and choose passages that support certain points of view or principles to which we cling. Yet those who first heard what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount had no idea what Jesus was about to say. They understood the moralism of their day, ...read more

Grace - Needed, But Not Deserved!

"Grace is giving or receiving something that is needed but not deserved." That definition fits beautifully into many places where the word "grace" is used in the New Testament.

MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK There is a very interesting Greek word in the Bible that we translate into the English word "grace." And this word "grace" is used time & time again throughout the New Testament. In fact, let's turn to the ...read more

Reconciliation With God: The Heart Of The Gospel

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 5, 2022

The mission of the Lord Jesus Christ was to rescue us from our sins and restore our relationship to God. It's not complicated theology but is instead the demonstration of His amazing grace.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the story of a merciful God who provides the sole means of grace, pardon, and forgiveness to a fallen, rebellious, and wicked creation who hates Him (Ezekiel 18: 23, 32). Even when He could have let us remain in our wretched condition and condemned us to hell for ...read more

Why Do Some People Promote Psalm 83 In Our Days As A War? Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 20, 2023

Because of the current war in Gaza caused by hateful Islamic terrorists, some people are writing on Psalm 83 saying it is a prophetic Psalm that means a war is coming. I am writing to refute that idea. Some people get agitated in pushing a war but Psalm 83 is not prophecy.

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE PROMOTE PSALM 83 IN OUR DAYS AS A WAR? One of the most uncertain writings in the bible is Psalm 83. I never used to hear anything about this Psalm a few years ago, but now a few people are making reference to it. Some are going as far as to say this is a prophetic event that ...read more
