Two Things…
Romans 9:19 “Well then, you might say, “Why does God blame people for not responding? Haven’t they simply done what he makes them do?”
Why, then, do Heaven and hell exist? Why does God punish people? Is He not the one who determines things? To answer this question and to help us really understand it, we will start with what Paul stated here in the Book of Romans and then explain further. Read the rest of this entry
His Purposes
Romans 9:11-12 “…a message from God. (This message shows that God chooses people according to his own purposes; he calls people, but not according to their good or bad works.)…” (emphasis added).
People can argue from now till tomorrow that this person is good or bad, but if God has chosen the person, God has chosen the person. Read the rest of this entry
Divine Election
Romans 9:11-12 “…God spoke these words before the sons had done anything good or bad, which proves that God calls people not on the basis of their good or bad works, but according to his divine purpose.” (TPT).
Yesterday, we said that God’s divine election or selection can be a challenge to certain people, and I will explain. So, God chose a man, Abraham, and said to him, I will have mercy on you and make you into a great nation. Read the rest of this entry

Sustain It
Psalm 84:7 “They go from strength to strength [increasing in victorious power]; each of them appears before God in Zion.” (AMPC)
While ruminating and meditating on all that God has been teaching us in the past few days. The burden on my heart is the fact that, as Christians generally, we tend to move on too quickly. Read the rest of this entry
Open Up!
Luke 15:11-13 “…A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. … younger son …moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living.”
In Luke 15:11-32 (please read), Jesus tells us the story of the prodigal son. This boy asks for his inheritance while his father is still alive and then lavishes everything on wild living. Read the rest of this entry
Totally New
Isaiah 43:18-19 “But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?…”
The first implication of a new chapter is that The Old Chapter Must End. Therefore, you need to turn the pages because you cannot read the new chapter if you refuse to turn the pages. Read the rest of this entry
