We've all experienced the pain of broken promises. When those we love fail to keep their commitment to us, we feel betrayed and hurt, less likely to trust again. People fail us. Plans fail. But there is one who is unfailing, who always keeps his word. In Unfailing , pastor and teacher Rob Renfroe reminds us that because God is faithful to his Word we can base our lives on what he has said. And though hard times may follow where we experience confusion, loss, and pain--feeling overwhelmed--if we stand on the promises of God we, too, will not fail. Jesus promised that everyone who hears his words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who builds his house on a rock. Though the storms blow and the streams rise, the house does not fail because it is built on the rock. Renfroe unpacks seven key ways in which God will not fail you, looking at God's promises, grace, peace, presence, guidance, power, strength, and love. Each of these is an important and essential aspect of God's trustworthy and unfailing character, reflecting his faithfulness to you. Each chapter includes a sample prayer as well as personal reflection questions that help you to further apply these truths to your life.
Good, standard, encouraging read. Easily accessible but also pretty firm about our need to meet God where HE is if we want lasting change in our life. It was a quick but enjoyable read.
This is a fairly short, fairly easy read, but is full of solid strong Biblical truth. Refroe comes from the Wesleyan tradition, yet there is not much here that a believer of any stripe would argue with. Comforting and challenging!
We have just used the book for a Bible Study and everyone liked it. The book goes through the promises of God and how they will not fail us. I recommend the dvd that goes along with the book as well.
