The Source of Confidence
The writer of Psalm 27 seems to be bursting with confidence, but where did all that confidence come from?
10 Truths that Will Not Change in 2021
2020 is finally behind us, but that doesn’t necessarily make everything better. Whatever 2021 may hold, here are 10 truths we can count on.
Give Thanks for God’s Mercy
Thanksgiving has come and gone, and, for many, the Christmas season has begun. But gratitude to God should be more than just a November event. Our hearts should be giving thanks all year round for the manifold blessings of the Lord.
Give Thanks for God’s Goodness
Many times in Scripture, we are called to “Give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good” On the eve of Thanksgiving, what better time to take another look at the goodness of God!
Declaring God’s Goodness
There is no one on earth who can claim that God has not been good to them. His tender mercies are indeed over all His works. So, why is it so hard to come up with things to say about God’s goodness?
Satisfied with God’s Mercy
Psalm 90 has often been called “the Revival Psalm”. It begins with a display of God’s goodness and majesty, contrasted with our own fleeting lifetimes. It speaks of God knowing our iniquities and our secret sins, and then goes on to stress the importance of keeping the brevity of life before us as a motivation to apply our hearts to wisdom.
But then, the Psalmist makes a plea that I find quite striking.
7 Things God Hates
We don’t like to talk about God hating things. After all, doesn’t the Bible say that God is love? The truth is, it does, but it also says that God is holy, just, pure, good, and perfect. He cannot be all that without hating the sin that destroys the people He created. God’s attributes are inseparable. You cannot talk about one without taking into account all the others.
So, with all God’s attributes in mind, let’s look at seven things God’s Word says He hates.
Certainty in the Midst of Chaos
When we look around this world and all we see is uncertainty, instability, and chaos, what’s an anxious Christian to do? Look to the only source of certainty: God Himself.
Daily Mercies
God’s mercy is not limited to salvation. He has sprinkled His mercy throughout each day.
