    The man by the pool was trapped by hopelessness until he turned in the direction of true hope.

    Questions and their answers can tell you a lot about a person. In fact one of the keys to being successful in life is to learn to ask the right questions.

    I Kings 19:9-21 “What are you doing here?” When it comes to things God might say to me, I can’t think of too many things I would like to hear less. When I finally get to heaven and look at the face of God and hear, “What are you doing here, Matt?” YIKES! ...read more
