AFTER GOD’S HEART #2

TOWARDS AUTHORITIES Genesis 20:64Judges 5:9 My (God’s) HEART is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people.

MERCY—Can It Feed Into Sin?

God’s ways never lead to sin, but my response to them can be to sin more. As in Paul’s day where they argued that if their sin led to God pouring out grace which made God look good, then how could he be mad at them for sinning? Maybe I should sin so that grace […]

DON’T BE A HEZEKIAH

Attitudes for elders and not so elders As I am getting older on the outside, although younger on the inside. I need to grab the current opportunities while being more aware of the brevity of life; I have a strong urge to do things that invest in others and the future. I also need to […]

DON’T LIKE PLAN B? GET READY FOR PLAN C

I love to plan out my future, so I construct a great plan and even give God a part in the process by saying “God called me to plan A.” I have found that even picturing a path that, to me, would be great for the kingdom of God (and not make me look too […]
