Crossing The Line Series

Contributed by David Richardson on Apr 17, 2008

Man is ultimately responsible for any and all of his actions. Nowhere in the Bible will you find a verse that excuses man’s sin. Rather what it does prove is that we have an all-knowing God, an omniscient God.

Crossing the Line Scripture: Romans 3:5-6 5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might ...read more

A God Of Grace Delivers His Sinful Servants Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jan 24, 2008

Israel simply refused the reasonable worship of God. Instead they burdened Him with unreasonable sin. If Israel was to be delivered it would be because of God’s grace & not because of Israel’s response to God’s promises.

ISAIAH 43: 22-28 A GOD OF GRACE DELIVERS HIS SINFUL SERVANTS It is not because of Israel’s right response to YAHWEH’s promise of help that He will deliver them. Rather than responding humbly, His people had grown wear of Him. They simply went through the motions of religion. ...read more
