All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, And Your saints shall bless you. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, ...read more

    Fifth of the Eight Milestones on the Journey of the Fruitful Followers. This message of the series happens to fall on Easter, so there is some Easter emphasis.

    The way of the Kingdom of Jesus is one of trust in God, which frees us to be "merciful" and give to others, knowing that God is a God of justice and compassion, full of mercy and love.

    Mercy is one of God’s core attributes and showing mercy one of the requirements to receiving it.

    Over the past few weeks we’ve been looking at the blessed like, life in the Kingdom of God.

    God is everything mercy ever hoped to be. He isn't just part mercy - He IS mercy. God has NEVER been unmerciful. It's who God is; mercy is His very nature. Mercy can be simply defined as 'Love in Action' (Eph. 2:4). It is living compassion (Ps. 116:

    I must admit that I'm not always the most merciful person in the room (not even close) - so this study had some really convicting things for me to work through. We'll progress through the nature of God's mercy, the actions of His mercy, and our response to mercy - all from Psalm 103. God is ...read more

    Unstrained mercy needs to be constrained by the same constraints that God himself recognizes: by wisdom, by justice, by the long-term, eternal good of the person you are trying to help.

    We’ve seen a lot about pardons in the news lately, haven’t we. Why did former President Clinton pardon Marc Rich? The “fugitive financier” is the nicely alliterative phrase that all the commentators use - I bet the journalist who coined the phrase is wishing he - or she - ...read more
