Contributed on Jun 8, 2021
Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

God's Power Toward Us Who Believe
Contributed on Mar 3, 2021
Man has always sought unlimited power. God has given believers just that. What is this power that God has given us, and how do we avoid squandering it?
