    Guilt is a terrible task master. Based upon the knowledge of our sins, such guilt can cause many to fear God. But God’s grace deals with both our sin and our fear. How does it do that?

    OPEN: Many people are very suspicious. They’ll collect rabbit’s feet. They’ll put horseshoes upside down to collect luck.

    The Bible says to have no partnership with people who do these evil things. What kind of people am I to avoid? People who are sexually immoral, impure, greedy for people and things. Avoid partnering with people who speak trash, talk foolish, and joke crudely.

    Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), the assassination of President Kennedy (November 22, 1963), and the terrorist act upon America (September 11, 2001) are all considered "infamous" days. The true "day of infamy" was 2000 years ago, when we attempted to kill God Incarnate.

It was an act of mercy, love, grace, and salvation that we did not deserve (Romans 5:6-11). It was also the day that rebellious humanity shook its fist at God Almighty, and the ...read more
