God's Lavish Mercy

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 21, 2023

Salvation through Jesus is for all people. God is fair and just in how He works to reach the lost.

GOD IS FAIR AND JUST! THAT IS HARD FOR MANY TO GRASP. WE LIVE WITHIN THE SYSTEM OF PUNATIVE LAW: YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.

God's Living Wage

Contributed by Terry Frazier on Aug 31, 2013
