We all have ways we prefer to be loved. God is no different. He told us explicitly how He wants to be remembered. Jesus didn’t say, "Build monuments in remembrance of Me." He said: "Do this in remembr...
We often think of grace as a historical event or a static account balance we draw from. But Scripture paints a much more dynamic picture. The Apostle Peter tells us to rest our hope fully upon the gra...
