    God commands us to "Encourage one another". This is such a vital concept ithat God not only expects us to do it for His church, He shows us how to do it. What has God done to encourage us, and how can we obey Him in doing the same for His people?

     | 49,972 views

    Why would God use Ravens to feed Elijah. They’re disgusting, unclean, anti-social and cruel birds. Why didn’t God use a simpler and more pleasing way of meeting Elijah’s needs?

But I just don’t seem willing or able to embrace the technology that has sprung up around cell phones. They make me feel positively old-fashioned. Maybe it’s just that when I hear the word ...read more
