We all have great desires to be fulfilled. There is none in this world who say that they do not have any desires. What has been declared in the Bible by the Psalmist King David is worth noting and learning. Let us look into those insights this day. Psalms 27:4, David the King said, "One thing ...read more

Majesty Of God

Contributed by Raymond Petzholt on Jun 3, 2005

An understanding of the “Majesty” of God will surely motivate us to live an upright and godly life in this present wicked generation.

MAJESTY OF GOD (Daniel 5:18-19, Psalm 21:5) What do we mean when we talk about the “Majesty” of God? Only 30 verses in the Bible (KJV) mention the word so it is easy to let the Bible itself explain to us what God’s Majesty really is. As we read Daniel 5:18-19 we are struck by the scriptural ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 13, 2024
