On The Box
On The Box: "If you listen to most modern preachers, they will tell you how God can help you. He’s your friend and He’s there for your happiness. He has a wonderful plan for your life. However, with a spiraling world economy, the increase in global disasters, wars, unstoppable diseases, massive floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, tsunamis, and escalating violence, it’s not so easy to make the promise of a bliss-filled future for those who respond to the gospel.

The Extent of God’s Love: "Have you ever spoken to an unbeliever who knew some of his Bible—just enough to be angry and confused? If so, you probably heard questions (accusations) like these: “What kind of God orders the slaughter of entire cities—women, children, and animals included—without mercy? Why does God allow so much pain, suffering, and evil in the world? How do you reconcile the love of God with the eternal flames of hell?”"

My understanding of God’s love—specifically His love for the non-elect—was never the same."

In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley - In Touch - June 6, 2011 - Christian Devotional: "You’ve probably heard the phrase “the call of God,” but maybe you don’t know exactly what it means. Is the Lord still calling people, or was that something He did only in Bible times? Does He speak only to a specific few or to everyone? Although He may not use an audible voice, He’s still in the business of seeking followers."

On The Box: The Dichotomy Between Disciplining and Murdering Children: "Some of the same people who are vehemently against spanking children are just as passionately in favor of aborting children.

Harvest Weekend Devotion for 7/2/2011: "Give Thanks . . . In Everything": "Sometimes, worship and thanksgiving can be a sacrifice.
