Obedience Series

Contributed by Maurice Armstrong on Mar 7, 2025

God is not a man; He cannot lie, therefore, whenever he speaks, obedience is the only expected response.

For centuries, "the Church" has taught “Repentance” as the focus of the Christian experience. A daily confession of all sins. But, from the beginning with Adam and Eve, God has always been much more concerned about our obedience--to His Word. “God is not a man, that he should lie…” ...read more

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 30, 2024

Jesus, here in Mark’s Gospel, gives us a start on our understanding the proper response to hypocrisy.

At The Intersection Of Expectation And Disappointment

Turning to Janet, “Jan, did you turn off the stove?” Isn’t it amazing how a simple question often prompts a person to have serious doubt?
