    God is All-Good, we are not. We can trust God even when we can’t trust anything else. However, we often don’t truly trust God. Since there is no gift that is not at our finger tips, it is hard to trust a God that has more to give than what we already give

    The Dynamite Of The Cross

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 14,657 views

    The dynamite (power) of the cross is displayed in the reaction of the centurion at Calvary’s cross. This is displayed through the righteousness and royalty of Christ, the response of heaven and the witness of the centurion’s own heart.

Matthew 8 records the story where the centurion asked for his servant to be healed. “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the ...read more

Man says, “The God of the Bible does not follow our wisdom; therefore He must be foolish, He must not be believed.” · That God saves people who put their ...read more
