God's Not Like Us

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022

I was watching an American Gospel production and it showed a bible opened to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you thought I was altogether like you". Thinking God is like us puts human thinking and reasoning into the mind of God. But God is not like us.

GOD'S NOT LIKE US I was watching a trailer for an American Gospel production about how the gospel had become watered down in America and how some churches are conforming to please the masses. At one point it cut to a shot of a bible opened up to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you ...read more

Contributed by William Meakin on Mar 27, 2023

Spring is defined as the season after winter and before summer, in which vegetation begins to appear, in the northern hemisphere from March to May and in the southern hemisphere from September to November.

Confidence In The Flesh Series

Contributed by Adamson Bacnis on Jun 3, 2023

Sometimes in our life we ​​have many things that we want to reach. And because we are not careful, we have many things or deeds that we forget that it is not according to God's will. We have put all our trust in ourselves.
