He waits until the moment when everyone will know it had to be Him. He waits so our faith can stretch farther than its ever stretched before so He can do greater things for us than He's ever done before. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%202:1-3&version=NIV 2009-08-20T16:41:14-05:00 Disobeying God is an offense that makes us guilty under His law and worthy of punishment. All the more reason that we should rush to accept the free gift of forgiveness that Christ offers. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/russian/The%20Handsome%20Foolish%20King%20Russian.pdf 2009-03-18T11:07:38-05:00 Russian: Samuel was old & his sons wicked. The people wanted a king. God gave them Saul the son of Kish. Saul rescued Israel from the Ammonites, but he did not fully obey God. He kept King Agag of Amalek alive & offered a sacrifice to God which only the priest could do. God rejected him as king. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/hebrew/The%20Handsome%20Foolish%20King%20Hebrew.pdf 2009-02-27T15:02:33-05:00 Hebrew: Samuel was old & his sons wicked.

Jonah went all out trying to get away from the Lord -- he bought a ticket to what is Spain today, which basically was the farthest place on earth he could run to in his day. But it wasn't far enough to escape God. It never is. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/The-Downside-of-Freedom-4342 2008-08-27T16:22:04-05:00 The great gift of freedom -- tragically abused. It's a scenario God knows all too well. Because some of the people He has set free are using that freedom in ways that hurt Him, that hurt them, and hurt other people. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Fatal-Refusal-4284 2008-08-21T10:52:02-05:00 It's a deadly mistake to refuse to get in a lifeboat - especially when it comes to being rescued from an eternity that none of us wants. Tragically, a whole lot of people are saying to Jesus, "No thanks. I don't think I'm going to need You. After all, I've gotten this far without You. I've been fine up to here. I'll take my chances without You." Strong, self-reliant, doing things for yourself, and proudly refusing to put your trust in Jesus. And, according to the Bible, doomed. Because this one you can't do for yourself. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Whale-Bait-3880 2008-07-29T12:24:50-05:00 You can run by rationalizing, by blaming other people, by putting it off, by hiding behind excuses. But after all is said and done, you're just plain old disobeying your Lord. Here comes the storm -- here comes that big-mouthed sea creature. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/arabic/The%20Handsome%20Foolish%20King%20Arabic.pdf 2008-05-30T15:00:06-05:00 Arabic: Samuel was old & his sons wicked.
