     | 7,405 views

    It serves us well to go to God and ask Him, “What’s the reason I’m facing this particular problem?” If you are spiritually sensitive, you’ll find that sometimes, God has engineered the problem you are facing to correct you – to discipline you – to get yo

    The Wrath & Righteousness Of God Revealed

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 8, 2002
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,350 views

    Our study through the book of Romans 1 shows us a God who loves humans, but must reveal His wrath on anything that is not like Him. It is one of the best chapters in the Bible to clearly understand God’s righteous character, and our fallibility.

    Why is there evil in the world? How can a loving God condemn anyone to hell? Does God condemn me when I do wrong? How can I be a Christian and yet still sin? How do law and faith work together? Where do I find help and hope? What happens to the Jews after they rejected Jesus? How am I supposed to ...read more

    A look at the Prostitutes who came to Solomon to decide the fate of their child

    She was just a hooker, a lady of the night. And normally we wouldn’t even consider her to be in the running for “Mother of the Year” but then again, it’s not wife of the year we are looking at, it’s mother of the year and the two aren’t always the same. Maybe you know the story, maybe you don’t. ...read more

     | 30,086 views

    Unbelief presents a great danger. It prevents a person from entering into God’s rest.

    Is there one sin greater than all others? Is there one sin that destroys more souls than all others sins combined? I say to you that there is. There is a sin—if it remains in the heart—that will prevent a person from ever tasting salvation. Yes, I know that the Bible says, “Whosoever shall call ...read more
