Do We Truly Believe God Is for Us?
Do we live as if God is truly on our side? In the latter part of Romans chapter 8, we find a powerful reminder for those of us who follow Jesus: “If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?”

Attempting to Unravel the Mystery of God’s Sovereignty and Falling Away?
Wrestling with the Tension of Free Will and God’s Will: This week, I’ve been grappling with the question: “Is it Possible to Fall Away from God’s Grace?” My curiosity kicked off after reading through Hebrews 6 and placing myself in the First Century Hebrew Church.
