God says “Woe” which is a word that describes a state of disappointment. God is disappointed with His people. Here are five ways in which I show God disappointment: 1.

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 7:50 am By Jim Erwin

Homebrewed Christianity by Tripp Fuller Homebrewed Christianity by Tripp Fuller is a postmodern critique of the study of Christianity.

Psalm 136:1-26 God’s Love

Last updated on: April 2, 2016 at 8:57 pm By Jim Erwin

Psalm 136:1-26 God’s Love “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.” (Psalm 136:1, ESV) We just sang the song “Forever” which comes from this psalm. When I hear and sing that song, I am reminded of an experience as pastor of the International Baptist Church in Bremen. We had a young man who was baptized, and he requested the song “Forever.” When it came time for the song to be sung, he... Read more
