We always hear how big God is, so it would be easy to think that if God is big enough, He can convince all of us to give our hearts to Him - but that's not true. He doesn't force the gospel message on anyone. He can only draw people whose eyes and hearts are open...
"A thief comes only to rob, kill, and destroy. I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest" (John 10:10). God is a God of ABUNDANCE. He does EVERYTHING in abundance. Do you believe that? Look around you, look at the trees, the flowers, the...
"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God" (2 Cor. 4:4). Men were blinded to the light of the Gospel back in Bible times and they are blinded now. When...
"But if I say, 'I will not mention him or speak any more in his name,' his word is in my heart like a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed I cannot" (Jer. 20:9). Jeremiah had the edge. The Word of God was like fire in his bones. He couldn't...
