Profile of an Abuser
by Rebecca Hieronymi
Many survivors of intimate partner violence often find themselves looking back and wondering how they could have missed the red flags that signal a romantic partner is potentially controlling, jealous or violent.

God is merciful
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
The God who created the heavens and the earth has been so thorough in revealing who He is and what He is like. He first revealed His eternal power and divine nature through the act of Creation. He then described Himself with great detail and clarity in His Word, the Bible. And then finally and fully, He reveals the fullness of all that He is in the person of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. And in all of the wonderful and glorious attributes of God, His mercy is one that certainly draws our hearts to Him.

God is Holy
by Audrey Christensen
What does it mean when we say something is holy? Maybe we mean “good,” but even that word has become distorted. (I think chocolate chip cookies are good.) There are other aspects of holiness that we should consider: awe, fear, purity, righteousness, perfection, set-apartness. After all of the characteristics of God that we’ve looked at the past several weeks, the natural conclusion must be that God is holy. After all, He created and sustains all things; He is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present, all-wise.
