Untiring Love 10/24/2007

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tore open
the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space
between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls,
he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail
from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this,

How many times in your lifetime do you think that you have
missed a blessing from God because you failed to ask Him
for something that He was more then willing to give you.

we get comfortable in whatever state of living we are in

Why Doesn't A Person Turn To God After Hearing The Message? 10/17/2007
Just a few thoughts to share as to why somebody or anybody
not turn to Jesus after hearing a message of the good news

Jesus into their heart would consist of:
What the preacher is preaching. The preacher may be giving

life. It may be something that ...

Your goodness can't win God's love. Nor can your
badness lose it. But you can resist it. We tend to do so honestly.
Having been rejected so often, we fear God may reject us
as well. Rejections have left us skittish and jumpy. Like
