FORGIVENESS: GOD’S IDEAS ON THE SUBJECT (Watch out for the devil saying, “You should forgive!” and then giving a bad definition for which you will get no help from God to do because it is not what he is asking for.) This week in your personal or family devotions, please look up the following verses […]
God warned, “In the day that you eat of that tree, you shall surely die!” Eve took a bite and handed it to Adam. He looked at her and saw a georgeous woman who seemed to still be full of life, so he took a bite and we all died. For as by one man […]
I was walking past a house recently that had a sign, “In this house we believe in science.” By which they mean, “We can live by sciences biased unproven conclusions if that allows us to do what we want to and to judge others as being less “Correct” than we are. Well what does basic […]
In I Kings 19:10 Elijah is whining that he is the only one left and everyone is out to kill him. Jonah was asked by God if he had a good excuse to feel depressed and want to die because his gourd had died. Job had a good reason to say, “why hast thou set […]
