It was a supernatural encounter with God. It resulted in his acknowledging that God existed and had ...read more

God’s Deliverance

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 24, 2022

They could only reach the conclusion that Osama Bin Laden and ...read more

God Of Love, God Of Justice: A Future Heaven, A Future Hell

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 26, 2021

God's works are many in the world and of particular beauty. Yet there is also the proclivity of man toward evil. God allows for free will, which opens the doors to almost any possibility. Which explains why the world is so messed up.

“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires ...read more
