     | 2,513 views

    You've heard the phrase, "close but no cigar". It communicates that getting almost there is not good enough. Jesus had an encounter with a teacher of the law in Mark 12 where he tells him that he was not far from the kingdom of God.

    Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

    Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more

However, by day 3 of our diet, ...read more
