01 Understanding God’s Will – as an individual

November 29, 2017 by Krisan Marotta

Sometimes we act as if finding God’s will is a version of the old 3-shell con game: where a marble is hidden under one shell and the con man moves them rapidly around the table and you have to guess which shell contains the marble. No matter which shell you pick you are always wrong. I would argue that the problem is not God hiding his will. The problem is the way we are looking for it.

12 James 5:12-20 Physically ill or spiritually weak?

March 28, 2012 by Krisan Marotta

10 James 4:7-17 Draw Near to God

March 15, 2012 by Krisan Marotta

09 James 3:13-4:6 The Cause of Strife

March 7, 2012 by Krisan Marotta

Operating with earthly wisdom comes easy and naturally to us. We have to seek God to gain godly wisdom. How, then, do we gain it?
