    When You Know It’s Going To Be A Bad Day Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 19, 2025
     | 157 views

    When you know you’re going to have a bad day, affirm God’s justice; affirm God’s authority; and affirm God’s mercy. It will help you get through the day.

    According to a recent survey, the average American knows their day is going to be bad by 8:36 a.m. in the morning. For example, they say, “You know you’re going to have a bad day if you wake up feeling sick (35%), if you suffer from poor sleep (31%), or if you start the day with a headache (29%).” ...read more

     | 4,678 views

    Christ has done what Moses could not do. He has "made atonement" for the sins of God’s people. Jesus took our guilt upon himself. Jesus received the punishment we deserved because of our sins.

    In the Old Testament lesson for this Sunday we heard how Moses served as a sign to God’s people. He symbolized a greater prophet who would appear some time in the future. For forty years Moses filled the role of God’s voice among the Israelites. Remember they had asked for that arrangement after ...read more

    Realize that some people grow up in families where destructive behavior goes without punishment. My own family thought it was OK to drink to a point where drunken behavior was not recognized as a problem. As a consequence there was very little anger manag

    Forbearance is that character of God which causes Him to withhold punishment when it is justly due; to restrain His wrath, when it can be righteously poured on His enemies. Forbearance is the consequence of God’s abundant goodness. Longsuffering is forbea

    The picture has not been very encouraging: sheep among wolves, hated and despised, betrayed by family and loved ones, sold-out for convenience and self-preservation, falsely accused and punished, even tortured and killed. All this they had to look forward

     | 1,408 views

    Augustine said, “The punishment for sin is sin.” 2 Peter 2:19 teaches, “by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.” GOD’S HAND REMOVED THERE IS NOTHING TO RESTAIN SIN. Our only hope is radical repentance.

    The Gift Is Better Than The Wages

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 3, 2021
     | 4,501 views

    Thankfully, Romans 6:23 does not end with the words the wages of sin is death. It continues with the promise we all need, saying that yes, death is the punishment for sin, “but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
