PureTalk | Why God Gave You Emotions
From the opening pages of Scripture, we learn that humanity was created in the image of God. Throughout the Bible, we see God expressing compassion, delight, righteous anger, grief, and steadfast love. When Jesus walked the earth, He wept with those who mourned, felt compassion for the crowds, rejoiced with His disciples, and experienced deep sorrow in the Garden of Gethsemane.
God Reigns Supreme
I think chaos is still a problem in the world. As Timothy K. Beal pointed out in his book Religion and It’s Monsters, “Perhaps it takes a chaos monster to kill a chaos monster.” Beal describes the way monsters are lurking in the biblical texts, put there by God himself. Did God create chaos, or did it come because of the fall?
This is Me
As Christians that is our role. We must realize that life happens to us all. All people hurt others. Sometimes they can’t help it. When they sling bullets it’s due to their own pain. We must move past it and reach out for someone else who is hurting and save them.
Your Story Matters
"So, what's your story?" I heard the man ask the girl sitting in the corner booth of the coffee shop. I glanced up from my cinnamon coffee and devotional book to see what she would say.
Be Still and Know That I Am God
In the day to day walk of life I think we sometimes forget just how much God loves us.
