Who Calls

For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,  Romans 10:12  NIV It may surprise us.  It surprised the Jews.  It surprised the Disciples.  It has surprised nearly every single person who has ever chosen to tread in the footsteps after...

In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.  Romans 9:8  NIV There are trembling worshippers who truly have turned from themselves.  By faith seek to be near God.  These precious few see their need for a...
