    The pursuit of God is based on a decision and motivated by a firm conviction. Reaching this level requires an effort that few are motivated to take. Here is a reflection on what Isaiah speaks about this.

    The search for God is a decision motivated by a strong conviction. It requires effort that few are willing to make. In this reflection, we will explore what Isaiah says about seeking God. Isaiah 55:6-7 (NIV) "Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (18 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 1,522 views

    Remember that when we started the Book of Galatians we talked about how these false teachers attacked Paul. They stated: • He was not a true apostle • He was preaching a false gospel

    Before Paul brings this letter to a close, he wants to deal with this subject sternly. The strategy that some use when they want to destroy a message is to destroy the messenger. This is the kind of strategy they were using against the apostle Paul. This is done in politics all the time. When ...read more

    We must make our brothers and sisters in Christ (as well as the lost) feel the real need to be a part of the worshipping community. If we are persecuted for our work, we can take comfort in the knowledge that in the end God will fashion eternity.
