Mid-Life Crisis?

God's Choice
This topic remains a struggle for me. As much as Paul tries to explain, it is easy for me to reach the conclusion he warns me against. The bottom line is that God sovereignly chooses who will be saved.…

Adam vs. Jesus
The picture God paints using God and Jesus is simply remarkable. He boils down all of man's existence and God's purpose into this simple illustration: Adam's sin brought condemnation, Jesus' death brought…

David's response to God is just how I always feel," Why do you bless me the way you do? You know what I am really like..." God's blessings have been fantastic in my life, I can barely believe that he…
