How to accept God’s corrections and disciplines
We may be innocent but abused because God is using us for good
Click here to read John Pearring's reflection from March 29, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
The context of who God is becomes the problem of dealing with the smote option that God can deploy. We interpret God’s correction to us over time as punishment. That’s immaterial. We may be innocent and used by God because he needs our sacrifice to orchestrate the gathering and salvation of more people, not fewer. This give-and-take with God is not a gentle, genial intimacy. It’s love, dear friends.
John Pearring's reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." (Luke 10:2)
We may not see Scripture as a love story but it is one
Make no mistake. His love is real.
By Steve Hall

We don’t readily see Scripture as a love story but it is one. In fact it is the greatest love story ever told. It is the story of God’s love for humankind, both collectively and individually.
Steve Hall's reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
