    God did not look on the appearance, on the height of the stature of a person, on the beauty, on the mighty. He never choose like how we choose. Samuel said to Jesse “God did not choose anyone of these”(1Sam.16:10). Then who?

    David: God's Choice I Sam 13:14. “But now your kingdom will not continue; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and the Lord has appointed him to be ruler over his people, because you have not kept because what the Lord has commanded you”.

    God’s people are vulnerable, and sometimes they foolishly become sidetracked. The Psalmist seeks to plead his case by bringing up God’s special relationship to his people.

    Please Restore Us! (Psalm 80) 1. When our kids were at home, we had a plastic swimming pool in the back yard. 2. One day, we went to the park and caught crayfish. We made the pool into a crayfish haven. 3. A couple of days later, we heard a noise from our kitchen window. We looked and off ...read more

    Why do we sometimes wait for God to "punish" us if we mess up as Christians? We are not under the law any longer, but under grace. And sometimes it’s hard to remember that.

    “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin ...read more
