The Wrath Of God Series

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on May 24, 2006

Choosen By God Series

Contributed by Neil Partington on May 29, 2006

Everyone wants to feel welcomed, but our society makes people feel unappreciated. Fortunately, the cross declares that this is not the way God deals with us. We are choosen by God.

We live in a cutthroat society. Our schools and our culture are designed for competition. And we live our lives with an “I’m better than you” mentality.

Many see him as a hero ...read more
