"In God's Eyes," by Candace Carteen of Portland, Oregon.
By the time I was ten, I was totally ashamed of my father. All my friends called him names: Quasi-Moto, hunchback, monster, little Frankenstein, the crooked little man with the crooked little cane. At first it hurt when they called him

I heard of a couple who, as they were paying for groceries in the check-out line, were discussing their soon to be 50th wedding anniversary, when the young cashier interjected by saying, "I can’t imagine being married to same man for 5o years!"
The wife wisely replied,

It was a cold, winter day. A carcass, on an ice floe, floated slowly down the Niagra River. An Eagle, flying overhead, spied the easy prey below, and descended upon it. He began to eat. As he did, the water of the river began slowly pushing the flow toward the falls. But could not the eagle,

I want to begin with the most famous logical argument ever posited for the existence of God taken from St. Thomas Aquinas Suma Theologiae. So, we begin with “The Five Ways of St. Thomas Aquinas”.

HAS GOD REVEALED HIMSELF IN OTHER RELIGIONS?

I believe that God wants us to be positive in our speech. When you meet a person on the street and say that they look terrible, what happens? They are not pleased and may feel depressed. If you can say something positive to them they feel much better. I believe it is the same way in which we

If God is to develop His plan in your life and you are to work at it with all your heart, then you must grow new spiritual muscle for the challenge. As a runner begins to train, his or her entire being is transformed. Within weeks of starting training the runner actually grows new capillaries.

Shake it together! If we placed the parts of a wrist watch in a bag and began to shake it; how long do you think it would be, before it came together, and function properly? Both the world and the watch had a creator, designer, and maker.

No one understands like Jesus.
He’s a friend beyond compare;

Let’s go back to Genesis 2:16-17 to review exactly what God said and then we’ll compare it to the distortion Eve came up with: “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, ‘You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in

Tommy Tenney, The God Chasers- The reason people who know you aren’t interested in your God may be because you don’t have enough of the presence of God in your life. There is something about God’s presence that makes everything else crumble in comparison. Without it, you will be just as pale and

HOW DOES GOD PURSUE ME?
You know it’s just stunning when you think of how tenaciously God pursues us. I grew up in a thoroughly pagan home. My father was raised a Muslim and my mother grew up pretty much oblivious to God. Yet, despite this, I cannot tell you how many different individuals God
