“The God of Story,” by Daniel Schwabauer (Part 2)

If God is for real, and God's word still speaks, then we can be confident God's power will also continue to be at work. It is the Holy Spirit Who does the convicting, the enlivening, the softening, the quickening, the restoring, and the raising up. None of that is mine.

Gospel of John: Election

From the human standpoint, we become Jesus’ sheep by believing, BUT from God’s standpoint, we believe because we are Jesus’ sheep.

Minor Prophets: The Book of Amos

Amos knew what it was to scratch out an existence with the poor. He had courage, endurance, tenacity, and righteous zeal. And like his dressing knife, Amos' tongue was sharp and to the point.
