    The Weakness Of God

    based on 19 ratings
     | 8,015 views

    The current church seems so obsessed with the power of God. What kind of power is it? Is it after all a power that comes from weakness?

    It has been my habit for many years to read through the Bible each year.

    I need not be afraid though all hell should break loose. Why? Because “God’s Spirit doesn’t make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7, CEV).

Some people have interpreted the story as giving us a lesson about needing to take risks in life. One preacher made that the topic of his ...read more
