My Way or God’s Way

I have often noticed how we as humans do things backwards from the way God does. Is 55:8 aludes to that, and the whole chapter is about God’s work.

God Hangs Pictures?

A builder’s message struck a whimisical vision of God’s process of become part of our whole lives. This is something we see as people who claim to be Christians never make God part of their lives outside of church. Anger is never conquered, harsh judgements continue, conflict swilrs around them, and there is no peace.… Continue reading
