    One And A Half Verses To Get To Know Better

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 30, 2025
     | 169 views

    Romans 8:28 doesn’t promise only good things will happen, but that God weaves even suffering, loss, and opposition into His greater plan for our ultimate good.

Romans 8, where our epistle lesson comes from, is probably the second most taught, preached and studied chapters of the Bible, behind only the 23rd Psalm, which tells us how “the Lord is our Shepherd.” Unlike the 23rd Psalm, which is ...read more

    Jesus wants us to "do good" and "save lives", to show concern for the physical and spiritual needs of people. Let us pursue the good of others, and seize every opportunity to do so.

Today, we are called to live such a life. • As ...read more

    There are only two possible ways you can approach God - with belief or unbelief. You either believe God, or you don’t believe him. You either put faith in Christ, or you don’t put faith in Christ. You only come to Him by faith in Jesus Christ, or you don’t come to Him at all.
