    God's Tough Love

     | 14,632 views

    Often God has to spank as part of His loving discipline. Heb. 12:6 “…whom the LORD loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives." There are at least 3 purposes to God’s tough love or chastening - instruction, correction, and prevention.

    God’s Tough Love Job 5:17-18 “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole. Have you ever thought that God was upset or angry with you? When we go through some ...read more

    The more you seek His word and what He has promised you, the more you will be blessed! Tune out the negative and focus on Gods positive word in and over your life and hold on, because He will exceed every expectation you place before Him,

    Others can’t but God can! Romans 3:3 NKJ 3. For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Gods faithfulness, is not based on our faithfulness, or on the faithfulness of those who are around us. TBS.(the bible says) no matter what, He remains ...read more

There area all kinds of problems kicked up because I have felt led to conclude our series of studies in the prophet Malachi with one of his most pointed and deliberate passages: his passage on marriage and divorce.
