Sin cannot get confirmed dominion over the child of God, because God hath promised that it shall not. “Sin shall not have dominion over you.” Oh! how I love these “shalls!” There seems something grand in them. “Sin shall not.” Ah! Satan may come with temptation, but when God says, “Sin shall not have dominion,” [...]

I don’t know where this story came from, but it makes you think about the goodness, compassion, and great mercy of God.

FROM CHARLES SPURGEON: We never find Adam afraid of God, nor of any manifestation of Deity while he was in Paradise an obedient creature, but no sooner had he touched the fatal fruit than he found that he was naked, and hid himself. When he heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the [...]

We love to dwell on the goodness of God. It is true that He wants to bless His Children, but in the First Chapter of Acts He calls us to be missionaries wherever we are and spread the Good News about what Jesus did for us on the cross. Every Christian knows someone who has [...]
