    We must understand the nature of God’s will. Jesus thought of the will of God as the sovereign wisdom and justice and goodness by which all things are governed.

    When the earthly Government has a court of law where the wicked are punished and executed if needed, why would the court of law in heaven not do the same?

    No escape from God 1 Kings 19:17 "It shall come about, the one who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall put to death.” God is in no hurry, He does things meticulously, perfectly, dexterously and in His time. ...read more

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 7, 2025
     | 314 views

    Why do you suppose it is that people find it so difficult to understand that real freedom only comes when we obey God?

    It’s a risky thing to mix politics and religion. It’s too easy to confuse the two. And if I remember correctly, one of the major bones of contention during my predecessor’s tenure was over that very thing: whether or not it was proper to have the American flag in the sanctuary. Many people do ...read more

     | 2,475 views

    We need reminders to keep us realistic about human social behavior, about our tendency to accommodate our own sin, and about the nature of government leaders.

    Realistic Reminders (Proverbs 28:11-16) 1. Everyone is forgetful at times. The difference is often this: some people remember they are absent-minded, others forget they are absent-minded. 2. One of my favorite original jokes is also true: I read a book about how to remember, but forgot what it ...read more
