The Pauline Privilege Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

The Bible demands that you be open to the power of exceptions, for only those who are, are open to the spirit of grace. Even under Old Testament law we see examples of exceptions that allow grace to dominate.

Waiting Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 29, 2012

The thing we have the least patience with is waiting. When we are facing a difficulty we want instant results. When God doesn't operate on our table we get frustrated. David got frustrated too but how he handles it can help us have patience too.
