Sincere compassion opens the way for God's provision 21.08.2022 12:46

God provides what others need when we act sincerely from the heart. Additionally, instructing others in the way of God is in itself an act of compassion toward those who are willing to hear.

They were essentially holding people to the letter of the law while they the...

Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others." Paul is here reminding the Colossian believers of an obligation they have to forgive anyone who offends them.

Trusting God for who He is, not for what He can do 07.08.2022 15:19

To help illustrate this principle, we can take a closer look at the story of Shadrach, Meshech, and Abednego. While there are many fascinating facets to this story, the essence of what it conveys is both practical and challenging. These men were not trusting God to save them, they were simply trusting God regardless of the outcome. This demonstrates that their trust was not in a hoped-for resoluti...

While other kingdoms and countries had their gods, their idols, and their temples, Israel actually had the very presence of the God of the universe with them. His presence resided in that Most Holy Place, by all accounts hovering above and within the ark of the covenant...
