Serving God Is Not Optional

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jun 20, 2023

In one sense, God gives us the freedom and option to serve Him or not. We know the outcomes of that choice, so it is not really an option to reject Him.

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Jonah also knows about the ocean’s deep waters. But he didn’t go intentionally. And what he finds at the bottom of the ocean is not just for those who read National Geographic but for all of us. God has a massive mercy.
