When Grace Wears Thin

When Grace Wears Thin Reference: Ps 106 We often speak of God’s patience—and for good reason. Psalm 106 paints a vivid picture of steadfast, covenant-keeping love. Yet hidden within this hymn of praise is a sobering list that raises a hard question: What finally pushes God's patience to test His limit? According to the psalmist, the Israelites didn’t just make a single mistake—they formed a habit. The Spiral It started with forgetfulness.

He is Good. We are Loving our Lord Jesus Christ to our best possible ways. He is so Good God, shall navigate much greater places more than that we can imagine or think. Amen. He loves us just because He is Good. Amen. As David said, Because of Your Loving Kindness is better than life. My lips shall Praise you forever (Ps 63:3). God be...
