Let God Love You

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 11, 2005

AT times our sin is so great that we can not forgive ourselves or love ourselves. God comes to us at these times and reminds us that God still loves us (and always will) and that God forgives the unforgiveable.

Love Does Not Brag And Is Not Arrogant Series

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 11, 2004

This is an in-depth look at how pride is contrary to truly loving God and our neighbor. We examine how pride is often manifested in our lives.

Malachi: "God’s Love Is On The Way"

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Dec 13, 2016

The believers in Israels in Malachi's day needed to have their eyes opened to the compassion of God above them; the need of those around them; and the callousness within them.

Through-out this book, the prophet Malachi addresses the unbelieving people of Israel. But in our passage today, he turns to the few believers left in the nation. They were lamenting the lack of action on the part of God to bring judgment to unbelievers around them. They'd concluded God was ...read more
