    Planning Wisely, Living Humbly

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 1, 2026
     | 126 views

    We plan responsibly, but we submit these plans to God willingly. When they change—when doors close, when timelines shift, instead of living in despair we can trust that God causes all things to work together for good.

The world keeps spinning on its axis. The sun rises and sets. Gravity holds us to the earth. We breathe without thinking. Seasons come ...read more

    Those seeking truth should consider: 1. Christian faith birthed science. 2. Miracles are not things done against natural law, but according to natural law. 3. To close the door to the possibility of the existence of God goes against the very fabric

    How do you explain miracles to a scientist? How do you explain science to a Christian? Can it be done, and is there a conflict between the two?
