If God’s thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways are truly not our ways (Isa 55:8), then why do we somehow think He would respond and react the way we would? When a person does wrong, we immediately see punishment and retribution for the act rather than love and reconciliation. We see...

In the past, I used the scriptures to determine whether I was hearing from Christ or not, but that only bound me to what God spoke to others in history. I have found this to be backwards. The scriptures are great, BUT without the Holy Spirit, they are a burden, and though they point to life,...
