    We live in a world where we have more ‘speak-ers’ than ‘listen-ers’. Everyone wants to be heard. Give opinions. Suggest an idea. Give counsel. Make recommendations. But no one wants to listen.

Koplitz John 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus ...read more

     | 1,478 views

    If God seems hidden, maybe we’re not looking in the right place. We have to move to a different place, stand at a different angle, look from a different perspective, before we can find God in the answer.

As she ran she kept praying, “Dear God, please don’t let me be late to church. Please don’t let me be late to church...” As she was running she tripped and ...read more
