A God Who Makes Concessions

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 18, 2000

God often caters to human nature. He will not bend in some areas, but He is more flexible than many Christians I know! Sometimes He gives us what we ask for, even if it is not the ideal

1. Most of us start out adulthood as idealists. As we grow older, it is natural to surrender that idealism for a more pragmatic idealism...but we need to hang on to some of it. 2. God is sometimes an idealist, other times a pragmatist; He is an idealist in that He has a perfect plan, and He will ...read more

I, myself, cannot count the number of times that I have used all or a portion of this passage in sermons that I have delivered. The amazing ...read more
