    When we face hardship we need to realize we’re in the middle of a story authored by God

    "Living in the Middle" I try to take some time from my professional reading to relax with a good novel. I love to read and to talk about books.

    Learn about how God may have destroyed Sodom and why Lot’s life there compromised his fruitful walk with God.

    We begin by looking into the Psalms: Psalm 1 1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by ...read more

    Why are God’s people often not living counter-culturally or don’t seem to clash with culture? Maybe the problem has something to do with being intellectually or scientifically stimulated about Jesus and the mysterious cosmic phenomenon rather than experie

But as ...read more
