ISAIAH 53:6 Isaiah doesn’t single anyone out; he says, “we all.” Humanity, as one flock, has wandered from its true Shepherd. It’s not that some have strayed and others haven’t; the verse tells us every heart has turned aside. Our rebellion might look different and doesn’t just describe moral wandering or rule-breaking, but it’s relational. We have drifted...]]></description><link>https://www.eeaccleveland.org/post/total-depravity</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cbd6e86eb823cd3ba4e00c</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 14:19:52 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_ea4041223cbe411987938e8b76f02116~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>amourduchrist2026</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Axe can't Brag: used by God, still accountable]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Lord says this:  ‘The axe has no more power than the person who uses it. A saw is not more important than the person who cuts with it. A stick cannot lift the man who holds it. No, it is the man that lifts the stick!’ Isaiah 10 has one of the most sobering pictures in Scripture: God calls Assyria “the rod of My anger.” In other words, God was using a nation that didn’t even love Him to discipline His people and wake them up. But Assyria thought it was just normal life: power, ambition,...]]></description><link>https://www.eeaccleveland.org/post/the-ae-can-t-brag-used-by-god-still-accountable</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cbd4e5605b409b9772bd88</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 14:12:25 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_6a5a576d77363030374559~mv2_d_4032_2691_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>amourduchrist2026</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Does God Approve Slavery in the Bible?]]></title><description><![CDATA[For many readers, biblical references to slavery are a stumbling block because they assume that God endorses slavery in Scripture. But if God rescued Israel from bondage in Egypt (Exodus 1 to 15), can the Bible really be read as approving oppression? The better answer is no. Scripture regulates an already existing ancient institution rather than inventing or celebrating it, while also pointing God’s people toward a deeper freedom that is ultimately fulfilled in Christ. Today, when most people...]]></description><link>https://www.eeaccleveland.org/post/does-god-approve-slavery-in-the-bible</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cbd28ddd3ddd8a57243e91</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 13:57:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_1b240327b14b4bd39d21e0bdee40537c~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>amourduchrist2026</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holiness of God and our Response]]></title><description><![CDATA[The world is upside down from what God intended it to be, and sometimes we think this opposition is based on one culture but not others. However, the world, as the Bible reminds us, lies in wickedness (1 John 5:19). The world around may not recognize that some behavior or lifestyle is an affront to God’s Word or purpose. Same with the Israelites, when leaving Egypt, who might not have known that the whole world had the Spirit of Egypt, yet God, who was different from other gods, called them...]]></description><link>https://www.eeaccleveland.org/post/holiness-of-god-and-our-response</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cbd1a6e454e7df62547bb1</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 13:53:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_ae2927b15d1d49feb982e9842b42680a~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>amourduchrist2026</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
