This arrived in my inbox this morning and I thought I'd pass it along. As a preacher once said, I will let you make the application from the implication. Several years ago a reader of The British Weekly wrote this provocative letter to the editor: "Dear Sir: It seems ministers feel their sermons are very important and … Continue reading 32,850 SERMONS LATER

Responding to Grace
How do you respond when someone has forgiven you? Most of us, I hope, would probably express our gratitude for the forgiveness.

A Great and Compassionate God

The Apostle Paul writes in Romans 15:4 NASB '95, "for whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction so that through the perseverance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope." When we read the Old Testament, we should have these words in our minds. Where is the encouragement … Continue reading The Life of King Asa
