The Bible And God's Will

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 1, 2021

The Bible is life’s operating manual. It teaches us how to live in every major issue we face in life. It’s a sure guide to success. Unfortunately, too many fail to read the instructions.

Last time, we talked about God’s Will versus our will. We learned a little about predestination. And I tried to answer many of the questions about predestination. Does God choose us even if we don’t want Him to? Does God choose some people but not others? How can you know what God’s will and ...read more

The Making Of Man Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

Mother Nature's Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021
