    The Goodness Of God

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 29, 2015
     | 10,266 views

    God is available at all times to hear our prayers, to listen to our concerns and to be touched by the nonverbal communication of our feelings. In return, we must be increasingly acquainted with the voice of God. We must follow God each and every day.

    In the passage from James 1:17-27, James talks about the goodness of God. God doesn’t tempt us to do evil things, but he often uses life’s challenges to strengthen and perfect us. In the process we become more like God. Instead of tempting us to do evil things, God gives us good gifts. ...read more

     | 3,085 views

    Disobedience to the Word of God could seriously jeopardize your astute financial planning, business, career and destroy your peace of mind. Caveat! The churning would do good for us!

    The churning would do good! Isaiah 30:13”therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach in a high wall, bulging out, and about to collapse, whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant..” I have watched the best flavor come out of any kind of fruit juice and sorbet from ...read more

     | 3,230 views

    After God created Adam, ‘Papa God’ got busy doing things one after the other for His son Adam, it was like a home with a new born baby!

    Papa God! Genesis 2:8” And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.” I read something delightful today from the book of Genesis chapter two, and I thought it would bless you too! May be there’s something in it for each one ...read more

    A brief peek inside the cover of the book of Habakkuk. Sermon based on Hab1:1-11 It's how God is still working and still working things out for our best - even when it seems He's indifferent to our situation or simply inactive

    God's word will always lead us in the right path.

    Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105 I am sure that probably all of you have seen a compass.

    A Heart For God

     | 13,692 views

    Psalm 19 has been called the most majestic of David’s Psalms. It falls into two main sections dealing respectively with Creation and Covenant, with an application to follow. These seemingly distinct parts form one unified, progressive whole.

    A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19. In July 1994, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (formerly D/1993 F2) broke apart and collided with the far side of Jupiter. On that occasion I preached on “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1), and wondered at the perfection of God’s creation. God placed the earth ...read more

    Now, when I say ‘morning prayer’ it is kind of boring for people, let me put it this way, I woke early to greet Him ‘Good morning Jesus and have a chat with God!’ How does this sound?

    Chat with God! Job 19:25”For I know that my Redeemer lives!” While working for the Vice President of a multinational bank with jam-packed agenda in my life: as a wife, mother and the office work as well, that kept me on my toes the whole day and I had to don multiple hats ...read more

    If there is one thing to summarize the message of 2 John, it’s walking with God. 2 John teaches us how to walk with Jesus and he’s does it in 300 words. And if we will take what John says and do it, we’ll experience "a joy that's complete."

    Walking with God Hannah Kaufold tells the story of signing up to lead a pilgrimage across northern Spain to visit the remains of one of Jesus’ BFFs: St. James. It was 500 miles long. She thought she was signing up for this cool adventure where she got to talk about Jesus and go for a long ...read more

     | 7,292 views

    The grace of God is foundational to a biblical psychology. TThe grace of God tells us how God relates to us. God's grace to us is the person of Jesus Christ. God's grace brought about the first and second creation.

    6. The Grace of God “Of His fullness we have all received even grace for grace” (Joh 1:16). The presence of Jesus is God’s grace to humanity. The manifestation of this grace begins with the creation story. When God spoke and the physical creation can into being, it was the ...read more

    According to the Bible a sovereign God has created all things. Where do that leave the individual? The word of God states that man plans his way, but it is God who disposes those plans.

The Sovereignty of God “Thus says God the Lord who created the heavens and stretched them out; Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it; Who gives breath to the people on it; And spirit to those who walk on it” (Isa 42:5).

    The more excellent way

    LOVE IS OF GOD Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver’s Travels, once said, “We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.” Why is love so terribly difficult for us sometimes? Aren’t we followers of a God who is Himself love? Surely ...read more
