    The Longsuffering Of God

    Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Jan 10, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,951 views

    Forbearance is that character of God which causes Him to withhold punishment when it is justly due; to restrain His wrath, when it can be righteously poured on His enemies. Forbearance is the consequence of God’s abundant goodness. Longsuffering is forbea

    The Judgmental "Thou Shalt Not Judge” Diversion

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jan 28, 2017
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,675 views

    Jesus said to “Judge with righteous judgment” (John 7:24). The Bible clearly gives every Born-Again Christian the authority and right to humbly discern and make the distinction between truth and error, right and wrong, good and evil.

    In the pluralistic culture we currently live in the greatest 'sin' is intolerance and self-contradictory moral relativism runs rampant as judgments are suspended so that each person can define what is morally right or wrong for them. The Bible verse most often taken out of context to condemn those ...read more

    Hannah is introduced to us as a weeping, mourning woman but she took a determined step in her life that gave her a new title. What is that? Mother of prophet Samuel!

    God's "NO" is usually for our best.

    Have you ever told someone NO? And then in secret you go and do what you told the other person not to do? Maybe, someone has told you 'No'. How do you feel when someone tells you NO? How did you handle it? It could be that none of us like to hear the word 'No'. We want all we ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-Three. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    The Day Of Reckoning Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jul 15, 2022
     | 1,936 views

    In Romans 2:1-5, the Apostle Paul presents three principles by which God will judge sinful humanity on The Day of Reckoning. He does so on the basis of: 1) Knowledge (Romans 2:1), 2) Truth (Romans 2:2–3), and 3) Guilt (Romans 2:4–5).

    Romans 2:1–5. Therefore, you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O ...read more
