The world is a mess and we all have so many problems does God regret making us? I always have said that God does not make mistakes…but does he? First Samuel 15:11 says, “I regret that I have made Saul king”. Does that mean what I think it means? And if he regretted Saul becoming king, anointing him, then why not just fix it? If anyone could push the rewind button it is God. So, I called my pastor, the Reverend Dr. Shane Green to hash things out. This is a great conversation.Subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can watch this week's episode and catch up on past episodes! ---Check out the Nothin' But Fine blog and website.Follow us on social media: Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube Want everything in your inbox?
