    Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

    Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more

    The Cross

    The message of the cross is a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are being saved it is the wisdom of God. Do we have a "cross centered" view today?

     | 451 views

    The Holy Spirit is more than a Comforter in times of grief, and more than a teacher of the Word. The Holy Spirit is freely given to us to guide us in life. Our Co-Pilot as we soar like eagles. (Isaiah 40:31)

    The Holy Spirit Is Our Co-Pilot When I was young I had a secret desire to learn to fly an airplane. I used to build those model airplanes, the WWI, two-winged planes with the open cockpits.

King Ahab, though, had been very busy with wars against Syria (see 1 Kings 20). After that, Ahab saw a vineyard belonging to someone else but Ahab wanted it anyway. He got it, all ...read more
