but examples. This does not mean that God only cares about the sins of religious leaders or official ministry-title Christians, but it does mean that God cares about authority structures, and that He is a God who reveals Himself through types...
That God chose these specific words for us.Psalm 139:17-18says God’s thoughts are vast, more than the sand. One of our former pastors used to say that the Bible is divinely brief. Out of the multitudes of things God could have said, He inspired and preserved in the Bible what He ...
1 John 4:16- So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. Romans 8:37-39- No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure ...
God knowledge is scripturally obtainable according to Colossians 2:1-5 (NIV):“I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally.2My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that th...

we might find a message for ourselves. “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.” Jesus receives the people that God The ...
