     | 5,152 views

    In the words of C.S. Lewis, we are in the process of what we will be eternally; "immortal horrors, or everlasting splendors"

    1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 13,175 views

    Each decade, the older generation imposes standards. Each decade, the younger generation pushes those envelopes a little further and sets up a standard of their own. Our families need a standard to measure up to, and the Word of God is that timeless stand

    ? What kinds of values did your family pass along to you during the generation when you grew up? ? How did the trends of that generation influence your observance of your families’ values? ? What kind of an influence did the generation you lived in have on your life? Trends reflect the values of a ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,936 views

    based on 31 ratings
     | 6,621 views

    When we ask God "why" He doesn’t always give us a seemingly direct answer or any answer at all. Why does God do that? This text addresses the deep no answers of God.

    September 18, 2006 Romans 11:33-36 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
