Genuine Burial Shroud Of Jesus Found

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 26, 2018

The Ascension Of The Lord- But They Doubted

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Apr 22, 2023

Involuntary doubt refers to hesitation in believing, difficulty in overcoming objections connected with the faith, or also anxiety aroused by its obscurity. If deliberately cultivated doubt can lead to spiritual blindness.

And he knew that we can see as far out in the universe as 46.5 billion light years away. So, when Sister Marie was teaching the Biblical story of the Ascension of Jesus to a class of ...read more

The Danger Of Following God With Human Wisdom

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 5, 2025
