We Are His Offspring

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 11, 2024

God created mankind, and He gives us our being. Thus, we must not segregate on the basis of race or sex. Flowing from the knowledge of God's creation, and having given His Word, we discover that not all cultures are equal, though all people have opportunity to know God.

Should We Ask God Tough Questions, Or Not? (Isaiah 45:9-25) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 16, 2024

Some Christians think it's ok; others would never dare. Can questions make God angry, and put us in danger? Or does God welcome the questions?

I'd like to start today by reading the first five verses of our passage, using the NET translation. As I read, just try to think about one thing: Is it okay to challenge God, or to ask God questions about what He's doing? Isaiah 45:9-13 (NET): 9 One who argues with his Creator is in ...read more

God's Vision: A City Without Measure (Zechariah 2:1-13) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2026

You need to think big, and measure big, to keep up with God's visions. God is able to do far more than we think or ask. Also, what does it look like to flee from Babylon today (cf. Revelation 18:4)
