    Answering Why

    Contributed by Martin Wiles on Jan 27, 2013
     | 4,986 views

    In tragic times, we are tempted to ask why. The question itself is not wrong-after all Jesus asked it of his Father while on the cross, but it may not be the most appropriate question or lead to the best end.

    The word, ‘tribulation’ often refers to eschatological woes spoken of through out end times. However the same word, ‘tribulation’ is used to mean persecution of Christians for their faith and testimony in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Peace Regardless... John 16:33 Catherine Marshall writes "A king once offered a prize to the artist who could paint the best picture of peace. Many tried, but there were only two the king really liked. One was of a calm lake. It was a perfect mirror for the peaceful towering ...read more

    Motivated to Follow Philippians 2: 12-18 One of the greatest means of motivation is a great illustration or example. Following the great discourse on the obedience of Christ, having provided the great example for believers to follow, Paul offers a discourse on our obligations to follow the example ...read more
