     | 2,164 views

    God's most essential attribute is His Mercy -- full of Mercy! He expects His children to be merciful as well. "Blessed are the merciful . . . "

    I love the sign displayed at a convent, "Trespassers will be punished at the fullest of the law!" signed 'Sisters of Mercy.' Punished by mercy? That doesn't quite make sense! What is mercy? When we look up the definition in the dictionary it states the following: ...read more

     | 409 views

    Manasseh was the evil king who led Judah into total destruction. Yet the Bible records that after 55 years of evil, he turned to the Lord & God forgave him. This story is a picture of God's incredible grace! There's still hope!

    MIRACULOUS MERCY FOR MANASSEH 2 Kgs. 21:1-16 INTRODUCTION A. ILLUS: Conversion of ISIS Fighters 1. It sounds unbelievable. Like something out of a movie. But it’s true. 2.

    Just like stubborn and rebellious Israel of old, we do not deserve God’s grace and mercy. But in spite of ourselves, God is always ready to extend His mercy to us; especially in the midst of life’s increasing madness.

    Mercy In The Midst Of Madness Text: Ps.61: 3-4; Ps.103: 2, 4-5; Isa.41: 13 Intro: Last night, as I bowed my head in prayer to God, I began to share with the Lord the burdens that were weighing heavily upon my heart.

    "The Love of God calls us to be who God is to the world."

    The word ‘Cat’ to my dog Sandy is not a word she wants to hear. It evokes an instant response of revulsion and loathing. ‘Grrr. Let me at it.’ Occasionally we’ll be quietly watching television, snoozing away, and a commercial will come on with a cat noise in it. Instant pandemonium. Vroom. The ...read more

     | 10,521 views

    The secret of God’s blessings is to lie low at the feet of Jesus and cry our for mercy! If all you ask for is crumbs off the table, how can God refuse?

    Friends if you listened carefully to the gospel story, it appears as though Jesus was not very inclined to heal the daughter of the Syro-Phoenician woman who came begging him for a miracle. It also seemed as though Jesus had enough and just wanted to get away because scripture tells us that he ...read more
