The God You Can Trust

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 29, 2004

based on 35 ratings

| 5,857 views

Jesus has one overriding concern in life - our welfare. He had compassion on us, sacrificing himself for our benefit. We take comfort in a God whom we can fully trust.

To the early Christians, this particular event in the life of Jesus is an important one. It is the only miracle of Jesus that is reported in all 4 Gospels. Apparently there is something significant here that the 4 authors want us to see. After a particularly intense period of ministry, Jesus had ...read more

Just A Little Give And Take

based on 65 ratings

First Sunday in Lent: Temptation is often the enticement to compromise, to engage in just a bit of ’give and take.’ Jesus would have none of it when satan tempted Him. Nothing would deter Jesus from the Cross.

The art of the compromise – of give and take – is valued by many people. You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. Watch the consummate politician on campaign trail – they live by give and take. Whey even a good football game starts out as a battle of give and take. One team will fight and ...read more

If you are not sure if politics are important for God’s people to concern themselves with, I would suggest that you study the hand of God in the politics of the Old Testament.

based on 10 ratings

| 3,701 views

Luke 14:25-33 is usually seen as Jesus’ advice to his disciples to be committed to him above all. But Jesus didn’t follow that advice and we thank God he didn’t because he went way beyond human logic and calculation to become our Savior and Lord.

Luke 14:25-33 Thank God Jesus Didn’t Follow His Own Advise Jesus said, “Anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he ...read more
