Sweet Love
Deuteronomy 7:7-8 7 It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the LORD set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but it is because the LORD loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, … Continue reading
The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

What do you see? 2 Peter 2:9-12
2 Peter 2 9 then (K)the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials,[d] and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, 10 and especially(L)those who indulge[e] in the lust of defiling passion and (M)despise authority.

Job: More Than A Conclusion part IV
On the outset I mentioned how traditionally Job’s story is seen as one of double blessings. It is viewed as a testimony of faith enduring to receiving even more. This traditional view leads to giving Satan too much authority over the children of God. It also leads to people believing that seasons of brokenness are all about God preparing to bless us with more. Yes, its true that it can happen but Job’s ordeal was all about his integrity.

Christ Our Righteousness
One of the great majestic names of the LORD God is “The LORD Our Righteousness” (Jer. 33:16). Jesus Christ is our righteousness (1Corinthians 1:30). We do not and cannot attain a right relationship with God in our own righteousness because our self-righteousness is as filthy rags. We are guilty sinners in the need of a … Continue reading
