The Will Of God

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on May 2, 2022

The Fog - Hide And Seek Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 19, 2023

The fog has rolled into western culture and choked out intimacy with God. The fog hinders and blocks us from being in an intimate relationship with God. The fog drives us to choose to hide from God rather than seek out His presence! But Jesus is seeking us out even in the fog!

Trusting In The Goodness Of God

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Sep 23, 2001

In order to trust the goodness of God we need to understand that: 1. God has given us freedom. 2. God created a good world. 3. God can redeem evil. 4. God is with us.

Epicurus, the Greek philosopher (c. 306 B.C.) raised the question: “Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to; or he cannot and does not want to. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, and does not want to, he is wicked. But, if God both can ...read more

No More "but Lord"

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025

Elijah’s call on Mount Carmel still confronts us: in a world of divided hearts, choose Christ decisively before silence becomes surrender.

God Is Not A God Of Confusion

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 7, 2023

And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more
