Who is a God like this one, who forgives, pardons, loves steadfastly, shows compassion and faithfulness? It sounds like an Exodus 34 remix! And Micah ends with total trust in God’s loyalty to the promises made to Abraham and the Patriarchs! ~ Peter Mead, Pleased to Dwell You can see all posts in this seriesContinue reading “Let’s Chat: Pleased to Dwell 5”

Let’s Chat: Pleased to Dwell 4
Anticipating a prophet who can represent God to the people is great, but what about someone who can represent the sinful people to God? Hannah was a poor farmer’s wife. She was barren and desperately wanted a child. The elderly priest [Eli] couldn’t spot piety when it knelt praying before him, but God heard herContinue reading “Let’s Chat: Pleased to Dwell 4”

Let’s Chat: Pleased to Dwell 1
There is a solution to the devastation of sin and death. And it is not a ‘what?’ What shall we do? What can we say? What is required of us? None of that. The solution is a ‘who?’ He. The seed of the woman. As you read the Bible, be sure to be looking forContinue reading “Let’s Chat: Pleased to Dwell 1”
Preaching with God
The Gospel is oxygen, and proclaiming the Gospel is exhaling. It’s just a matter of breathing it in and breathing it out. Peter Mead and Mike Chalmers run a podcast to help and encourage preachers. The episode today (which I listed to on my 5am-8am shift) was about how to get and keep a goodContinue reading “Preaching with God”

Inevitably, the conversation turns to the question of analogy. Many think, “maybe we can help people accept the Trinity by using someContinue reading “An Analogy for the Trinity – Mike Reeves vs William Lane Craig”
SNAP, Crackle, and Pop into Church
In 2020, James White made the following statement about what was and is currently happening in our society: The greatest social tool being used right now to change society, destroy liberty, and move everything toward a global socialist technocracy is the claim of public health.
