The Purposes of God – Job 9.17
Reading this article now several years after writing it, I wonder how I thought I could speak so confidently of God’s clear purpose in suffering. The favor and mercy of Father God is more tangible and clear than ever to me, His specific will; however, not so much. His perspective comes from a vantage point … Continue reading The Purposes of God – Job 9.17
The Evil Power of Resentment, Esther 5:13-14
Yet all this is worth nothing to me, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.” Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mordecai hanged upon it. Then go … Continue reading The Evil Power of Resentment, Esther 5:13-14
