Human Responsibility And Israel: The Other Side Of The Coin Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 10, 2004

Although God’s Sovereign Grace is a sure thing, it is also true that we are responsible for all of our decisions. We can look at the rejection of Jesus as the Messiah by most of the Jews as a choice they made, even though this was in the plan of God.

Some friend of ours leant us some DVD’s of "Jeeves and Wooster." We love that show. 3. Anyhow, in one episode, they referred to marriage as "both ...read more

God Delights In Bad Odds

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 20, 2022

The more unlikely the situation (if we pray), the better God likes it. God likes to show His hand, but He won’t do it unless we step out and depend on Him to come through in order for us have success. God likes the “come-from-behind” position.
