Be Compassionate To The Fallen Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

You cannot lead someone to Christ through criticism, shame or correction. It starts with the kindness of God, as you show forth the compassion and forgiveness of Jesus. “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance” (Romans 2:4).

In Romans 2:4, the apostle Paul declared that “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance” (NIV). If showing forth the kindness of God can lead a person to repentance, then on the opposite side, sharing judgment and condemnation will lead an individual to hardening his heart against the ...read more

God's Great Love

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 18, 2021

Let me ask you TWO questions: (1) WHY DOES GOD LOVE MANKIND? Why? Because the Bible says GOD IS LOVE! He can’t help Himself - GOD IS LOVE! (2) WHY DIDN’T GOD MAKE US AS ROBOTS AND CREATE US WHERE WE ALL WOULD HAVE TO LOVE HIM?
