Trepidation Is Not A Dinosaur

Submitting To God

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Apr 8, 2001

When we do not submit to God there is a conflict inside. 1. The source of the conflict is selfishness. 2. The result of the conflict is rebellion. 3. The solution to the conflict is submission.

The Nature of Who/What God Is And How We Should Respond To Him

God’s Protection Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 24, 2023

The devil took this passage to entice Jesus to jump off the pinnacle. The devil used or misused this text as though it provides unconditional security in any and every circumstance. Jesus own experience shows that even faithful ones suffer, have emotional anguish and physical pain.

The theme of this Psalm is God’s protection. There is a sense that Psalm 91 stands alone from all other passages of the Bible. It contains the only passage of the Bible quoted by the devil. Scripture teaches us that God protects those who love him and will help them in their trouble. The devil ...read more
