    Majesty Of God

    Contributed by Raymond Petzholt on Jun 3, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 21,612 views

    An understanding of the “Majesty” of God will surely motivate us to live an upright and godly life in this present wicked generation.

    MAJESTY OF GOD (Daniel 5:18-19, Psalm 21:5) What do we mean when we talk about the “Majesty” of God? Only 30 verses in the Bible (KJV) mention the word so it is easy to let the Bible itself explain to us what God’s Majesty really is. As we read Daniel 5:18-19 we are struck by the scriptural ...read more

     | 27,961 views

    God promises great rewards to those who seek Him, and it is a proper motive for obedience to consider these rewards.

    Last week, we discussed the topic of "seeking God." We saw that the pursuit of God is a lifelong quest. It’s not merely a phase in our spiritual growth, nor is it an optional activity. Rather, it’s fundamental to our lives as Christians, from beginning to end. You could even say that continuing to ...read more
