God Is Not A God Of Confusion

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 7, 2023

We must not imagine that the confusion roiling western culture is because of God. Having rejected the Lord, civilization is confused, and without hope of being set right without God's merciful intervention.

And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more

My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 14, 2021

What Mama Said

Contributed by Jason Jones on May 17, 2023

On this Mother’s Day, we will look at a beautiful, and probably most significant, character trait and behavior mom’s (past, present, and future) share with God himself: Grace

What Mama Said Ephesians 5:3–5, Background to passage: Paul’s quick turnaround from his encouraging word to imitate God and walk in love like Christ is to move back to teaching from the negative (by that I mean that he is instructing them what not to do rather than what to do). Important ...read more
