Playing It Safe: Job's Friend Zophar Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 7, 2009

For Lent and Annunciation: Zophar’s counsel is to "play it safe" by sticking to ideas rather than engaging persons. He thinks that security is the goal. God in Christ takes the risk of loving us and living with us.

Every human heart is so made that it can be hurt. Of that I have no doubt. Every human heart is subject to hurt, to pain, to shock. Every one of us is subject to feelings that we do not enjoy -- disappointment, anger, despair, guilt, anxiety -- a whole range of painful feelings. And we either deal ...read more

Freedom's Relationships Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Mar 5, 2009

This message seeks to free believers from a performance mentality in their relationship with God. We are free, because we are loved. We are free from the pressure to perform, because God already accepts us as His full, adult sons and daughters in Christ
