As Christians we think that when we come to Christ everything will be a bed of roses. At times, we have to wrestle with things that seem the exact opposite of what we know of God.

A Soft, Stone Pillow

Contributed by Jerry Shirley on Aug 9, 2007

This one verse contains a very SURE promise, a very SWEEPING promise, and yet a very SELECTIVE promise. Only God could make a rock solid promise into such a soft pillow for tired hearts. Link included to formatted text, audio, video, PowerPoint.

Meet Me At The River

Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 23, 2007

Having Good Roots

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 15, 2022
