God Preserves a Remnant, Romans 9 Part 2 – Lite (16 min)

Imagine having inside information about planned future events.

Dare to Understand Romans 9? Part 1 -Lite (37 min)

When reading Romans 9, it is so easy to miss God’s unmerited grace and incredible mercy because of the difficulty we have in digesting how a God who loves His creation can choose not to forgive everyone.  Well, going deep into this chapter has caused me to see things from a different viewpoint; God’s.  I’mContinue reading “Dare to Understand Romans 9?

No Condemnation or Separation – Romans 8, Part 2 – Lite (36 min)

Can You Stand to be Blessed? – Lite (35 min)

How would you define a blessed person? Is it having great wealth, good health, a loving family, trustworthy friends, and favour in society? I certainly think those things can be blessings, but depending on the effects on you (or your development), they may not be. What about people who have all of those things, but do not know Christ?Continue reading “Can You Stand to be Blessed? – Lite (35 min)”

Scriptural Proof of Election – Lite (5 min)

Now, if we gauge our salvation based on experiences and emotions, it is likely that we will live a dramatically fretful and potentially fearful life. This is not God’s intention for us.

John wrote the Gospel of John, 1st 2nd and 3rdContinue reading “Scriptural Proof of Election – Lite (5 min)”
