    Our Unpredictable God

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 15 ratings

    Should we look at our relationship with God as a way to avoid life’s miseries, or as a way to get to know Him and find strength to endure the curves life sends our way?

    1. My wife makes a mean Broccoli soup; never turns out at mo-in-laws 2. The newspaper is always there--except the one time in your life in which your photo is included... 3. The truth of the matter is that life is unpredictable. And so is God. 4. Don’t get me wrong: I believe God is faithful. But ...read more

    If there were hillsides full of Chariots helping Elisha then there are hillsides of Chariots helping His servants today. After all the book of Hebrews says, “The Angels are Ministers of fire sent to help the Heirs of Salvation:”.

    The Supernatural realm, the Angels and the signs and wonders of God should be a natural part of our Chrisitan life.There is a fear that we will fall into deception or be led astray by these Supernatural experiances. But I suspect that if an Angel came into our room and asked us to worship him, we ...read more

    We learn much from times of sorrow and loss, times when we are confronted with the reality of death, opportunities when we can learn from God

    “A good reputation is more valuable than the most expensive perfume. In the same way, the day you die is better than the day you are born. It is better to spend your time at funerals than at festivals. For you are going to die, and you should think about it while there is still time. Sorrow is ...read more

    Jesus calls us to take risks for Him. What have we risked today?

    GRACE AND RISK Matthew 25:14-30 INTRO: Jimmy Draper, in his 1984 SBC address, spoke of visiting missionaries who risk their lives for the sake of the Gospel.

    God is restoring a remnant through Jesus.

    A faithful minority. Rom. 11:1 -- 10. 08/24/03 I looked up the word faithful in the dictionary. The dictionary reported the meaning of faithful as true and trustworthy in the performance of duty. That is sort of what we expected isn’t it? When Hudson Taylor went to China, he made the voyage on ...read more
