I Met Him And He Gave Me A New Heart Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 11, 2021

Saul’s conversion into Paul is an example of the fact that no one is too far from God or too far beyond God’s reach or God’s power to save, to transform a person, and give them a new heart … a heart for Him alone.

Today, doctors can literally give you a new heart … well, new to you at least. It once belonged to someone else.

Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 4, 2022

Nicodemus had been confronted with the fact that his religious zeal will not make him righteous before God. It is only by being "born again" through the work of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins that we are forgiven and restored to a true relationship with God.

The Shepherds Vs. The Wise Men: The Report Goes Out To Working Men, Elites, And Political Leaders
