Knowing God

Contributed by Hiram Withers on May 20, 2019

What makes sin serious is not that we sin, it is that we sin against God. To truly know God is to understand the severity of our sin.

I spent a lot of years angry at God. I was so angry that there came a point that I decided he was a fable, he did not exist, he was a crutch for the weak who could not handle the troubles of life. I took every opportunity to prove to others they were living a lie. That was until the faithful ...read more

God Suffered?!

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Mar 15, 2006

An Interview With God

Contributed by Phillip Weaver on Dec 28, 2005

Many people would like to ask God a question, but Moses actually received just such an opportunity, as we can see in 4 brief movements in his "interview with God" in Exodus 3:1-10.
