The one true, living, loving God gave you life. And He offers you His love, but He doesn’t force it on you. He offers you help, but He doesn’t force on you. And He offers you peace, but He doesn’t even force that on you. In fact, you get to decide if you want to let peace rule in your heart. I’m not talking … Read the rest…
Do you know what it means to give grace to others? Grace, according to one of the definitions in the dictionary, is the “free and unmerited favor of God“. No kidding…that’s actually in the dictionary. Who’d’ve thunk it? Well, since that definition says it’s of (or from) God, can we mere humans know what it’s like to give grace to others?

There’s a couple of verses in the Bible that say I can know I’ll receive from the Lord “the reward of the inheritance”. I don’t feel like I deserve any inheritance, but thankfully it doesn’t depend on how I feel. No, I don’t feel like I “serve the Lord Christ” very well. Do you ever (or always) feel like that?

In spite of the efforts of some of the best so-called “free thinkers” the fact remains…God is not dead. I know atheists and other non-believers acknowledge “God is dead” as simply a metaphor or some other figure of speech.
