The Bible And God's Will

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 1, 2021

Does God choose us even if we don’t want Him to? Does God choose some people but not others? How can you know what God’s will and ...read more

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 3, 2016

And Injustice For All

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 23, 2023

The unjust judge is only a problem if we confuse God and man, and put our trust in the one instead of the other.

Have you ever felt that God just wasn’t listening? Silent, uncaring, even absent? Perhaps you have a problem, a need, a pain, a burning question; you bring it before God, and - nothing happens. You remember what Jesus said about persisting in prayer, so you go on battering at the heavenly gates - ...read more
