    Seeing And Hearing Again

    Contributed by Wayne Cordeiro on May 16, 2013
     | 6,736 views

    The Bible says our hearts, like that of the Pharisees, can get calloused against God. It is not intentional, but our hearts get dull. We have to recondition them and reopen our eyes to see Him afresh.

    Funeral for a infant child

    At times like this we look for meaning. Our faith is tested. Our understanding of God and of ourselves, is put to the test. Is our love deep enough to endure? Is God’s grace vast enough to suffice? We want to make sense of such suffering. Why does a loving God allow that such pain to continue in ...read more
