The great King David finds it necessary to instruct himself, or remind himself, not to forget any of the Lord’s blessings or benefits. If David had to ...read more

Abusing Grace

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 27, 2011

“Grace” is such an abused topic in most churches today. It is not some celestial catch-all to allow us to mess up and then say “God’s grace covers me.” Personal responsibility has a place in Christianity. God’s grace makes our spiritual growth and “perfec

"god's Mercy Seat."

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jul 16, 2022
