Infinite Mercy

A god of infinite mercy and compassion

Recently, at an outing our church was having, the weather was perfect, and there were outdoor games for all ages going on in the church yard. There was of course a game of “touch football” being played by mostly the teenagers. Along the invisible sidelines of the game, moms and dads, and grandparents watched and cheered for their players.

Once when the football squirted out of the hands a runner, it rolled and flipped toward the sidelines where a small boy of about two years came from out of nowhere and scooped up the ball. He was ready to be in the game and took off with the ball only to take a few steps then fall taking a roll himself. Everyone stopped and held their breath as the enthusiastic little player slowly got up crying and looking for his mommy! Mommy was immediately right there for him picking him up and dusting the dirt and grass off him. She smiled and wiped his tears and comforted him after she determined he was alright. Her compassion and love was right there when the little guy needed it.

God is like this. He understands what we go through and sympathizes with our weaknesses and our concerns. When we fall He gasps and holds His breath. He is moved. When we are troubled, He is sensitive to what we are going through. He is never too far away and is always ready to pick us up and dust us off. He loves us and cares so much for us He came to earth just so we can see how much He cares. He comforts us when we need Him. He understands and sympathizes with us when we feel pain and hurt. We can always take our troubles to Him and allow His gentleness, His infinite mercy and compassion to comfort us and bring us peace.

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed” says the Lord, who has compassion on you (Isaiah 54:10).

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail (Lamentations 3:22).

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
