Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 5, 2022

We only see that which is temporal, but God sees that which is eternal, and he wants us too as well.

There are certain people we think we know all about. We recognize them by features, characteristics, conduct and we do know much about them but not all. Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart. If we're going to make this year a profitable one, we must know people as God ...read more

Knowing The God Who Knows You

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 25, 2016

If God knows me so well, how could he possibly love me? Yet, scripture says he loves us completely, even though he knows our every thought, motive, and word before we do. Not only does he know and love us, he protects and guides us. We have a great God!

Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18 Knowing the God Who Knows You Sometimes we doubt God’s love for us. Sure he loves the whole world, but does he love me? If God is a perfect God (and he is), and if I’m not perfect (and I’m not), how is it that an all-perfect God would even want to know me? ...read more

Knowing God

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 12, 2017

Paul wrote to Timothy, "I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day." There is a great difference between knowing about God, and knowing God. Paul knew the one to whom he trusted all.

Knowing God

Contributed by Hiram Withers on May 20, 2019

What makes sin serious is not that we sin, it is that we sin against God. To truly know God is to understand the severity of our sin.

I spent a lot of years angry at God. I was so angry that there came a point that I decided he was a fable, he did not exist, he was a crutch for the weak who could not handle the troubles of life. I took every opportunity to prove to others they were living a lie. That was until the faithful ...read more

I Know History; I Do Not Know Myself Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 4, 2002

It is one thing to know history and theology; it is another entirely to understand our own hearts. Job’s pilgrimage into self-understanding led to self-hatred, but in Christ that can be redeemed.

I’ll ask you to repeat with me this wonderful, ringing affirmation from the New Testament: But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him. I know. I know the one in whom I have put my trust. ...read more
