    God is merciful and calls us to be as well. But what does mercy look like and how can we know when we've gotten it right?

    OPEN: I once read the true story of a preacher was organizing an evangelistic outreach using small acts of kindness to demonstrate Christ's love.

    Christians need to learn the value of tough love in both giving and receiving it.

    Who said the following harsh words? “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!” “You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel!” “You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and ...read more

    Love Me Tender

    If you were to ask me what was the most important lesson I’d learned about marriage in my (ahem!) years in the married state, I’d give you my answer with no hesitation at all: love is a choice, not a feeling.

    “During the marriage ceremony the two become one - on the honeymoon they discover which one.” – I quoted from guy who seems to be a deep-thinker. But I think this is rather the result of some personal frustrations, rather than a generic truth. Maybe it’s the age I’m getting to, but I’ve noticed ...read more

    We need to get as familiar as possible with the real God of the Bible. Then we'll find it easy to recognize the counterfeits.

    Ephesians 4:14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the ...read more

    Tough And Tender Love

     | 3,961 views

    God’s love is tender, but it’s also tough. God is a God of justice as well as a God of mercy, and it’s from both that God deals with His people. In Zephaniah’s prophecy, we see both sides of God’s love, the toughness in judgment, and tenderness in His mercy.

    Tough and Tender Love Book of Zephaniah Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvl8jnGnUyY Bill Johnson was a young man from California whose sole thrill was stealing cars. Eventually he was caught and at his sentencing, the judge did something very unusual. The judge didn’t send Bill to jail, ...read more

    God may have purposes of which we may not be aware and if he permits it, he can use it.

    When our girls were growing up we could not afford to take a vacation at resorts or hotels, so from the start we decided to camp. I remember our first major purchase of a cabin-style tent from Sears. It was luxurious with a place for a bunk-bed cot for the girls and a large air mattress for us. ...read more
