No Condemnation

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.     Romans 8:1 In his youth, Dan Rather got a job working weekends for a pastor named Ted Lott, who ran a one-man radio station in Huntsville, Texas.  Since Rather was there alone from 5 PM to midnight, he prevailed on Pastor Lott […]

The Self-Made god or the Real One (Addiction)

For even if there are so–called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many “gods” and many “lords”), yet for us there is one God, the Father, of Whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom are all things, and through Whom we live.    I

Am I in the Place of God?

Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.  Now therefore, do not be afraid;                    Genesis 50:19-21
