s Our Message Offensive? Paul called his message “the offense of the cross” (Galatians 5:11). Again and again he warned that the true Gospel of God’s grace and glory would meet with great opposition from the religious world and the natural world. “The preaching of the cross is foolishness” (I Corinthians 1:18). “The natural […]
“THERE WAS A MAN SENT FROM GOD” John 1:6 Don Fortner Of this you may be sure – When God intends to bless his people and bestow his grace upon them, he will send a man as his messenger to them. The man whom God sends has a message from God, which he must deliver. […]
