The imagery used in this title goes so far beyond our comprehension of relationship with God. This isn’t just Old Testament imagery. Paul uses the same phrase when describing himself to the churches to which he is writing (Rom. 1:1) and Jesus used the same term when describing his own mi...

What does the Bible say about sickness and healing? Why do bad things happen to innocent people? The effects of “original sin” are pervasive.

This message was kept secret for centuries and generations past, but now it has been revealed to God’s people. For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you.

Titus 2:3-5 NLTThe quiet and gentle spirit that he speaks of might escape us. The word gentle is praeos and might be better understood to us by using the word humble or having humility. The word quiet is hesychiou and doesn’t mean that she is silent, but that she is well-ordered in her life and priorities. She isn’t running around from thing to thing busily looking for the next thing to occupy or...

We weren’t part of...

John 6:33-36 "The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” “Sir,” they said, “give us that bread every day.” Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me." What do we really want from God?
