    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 8, 2025
     | 249 views

    Prayer that does not get past the ceiling; Israel will be restored; the remarkable story of John Newton (Amazing Grace); the off-scouring and refuse of the world; enemies’ mouths are against God’s people – Moab and Islam and their hatred – all these are considered here in this study.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 23 – CLOUDED PRAYER – REFUSE AND REJECTS – JOHN NEWTON – ISRAEL’S ENDURING ENEMY - CHAPTER 3:44-46 In the last four verses we were thinking about the personal aspect of the people in realising what God had done to the nation and why that had to happen.

    Why People Fail To Realize That They Are Sinners?

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 767 views

    People fail to recognize their sinfulness because they compare themselves to others instead of to God, ignore His grace, underestimating the depth of their sins, and underesimate God’s perfect righteous standard revealed through Christ’s sacrifice.

    The Apostle Paul proclaimed in Romans 1:17 that the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel. Before explaining in detail what this gospel is, he explains why this gospel is necessary and why God’s righteousness is needed in Romans 1:18–3:20 as follows: 1. Everyone is a sinner, whether Jew ...read more

    The parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector show us the importance of having a contrite heart that is aware of one's own sinfulness and lives in appreciation of God's mercy.

    ONE OF THE CHURCH’S ANCIENT LITURGIES IS WHEN THE PRIEST STARTED MASS WITH THE PRAYER “LORD, YOU WERE SENT TO HEAL THE CONTRITE OF HEART.” THE RESPONSE OF THE PEOPLE WAS TO SAY, “LORD, HAVE MERCY.” WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A CONTRITE HEART AND TO SEEK GOD’S MERCY?
