    Are you biting the Lord’s hand or His anointed?

    Dachshunds and Dogged Antichrists I have a red miniature Dachshund named Shiloh.

    God’s First Unconditional Covenant Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Apr 22, 2024
     | 1,098 views

    Every time a person comes to faith, we remember the rainbow - God’s unconditional love, expressed through the new covenant. Every time someone returns to God after a season of being far from Him - we remember the rainbow: God’s unconditional mercy, His long suffering.

    Do you remember as a kid ever making a promise by crossing your heart, a pinky swear, or swearing to God? By nature, we look for assurances and guarantees and we learn this early in life. As we grow older, however, we realize that we live in a world of broken promises and unfaithfulness. There’s ...read more

    There is a small similarity between Saul’s conversion and that of the Ethiopian eunuch. They were both converted on a road. One of the differences in these two conversion is that the Ethiopian eunuch was converted in a chariot, and Saul was converted laying on the ground. It is a marvelous thing ...read more

    How much does love really matter in truth telling?

    Introduction It is a simple phrase, a brief phrase, one in which, if it had been omitted, would not have been missed. Nevertheless, it has always caught my eye, perhaps for the very reason that it seems expendable. Look with me at verse 15. Text Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow ...read more

    Our failure does not happen suddenly but is the result of a continuous gradual process of self will, arrogance, overconfidence and a refusal to listen to the Lord often preferring to remonstrate with Him and give Him advice!
