    Where is God in a world that doesn’t make sense? God can be found intimately involved in the world, hidden by our preconceived ideas, and limited spiritual imagination.

    Luke 16:19-31 “Living in a Topsy, Turvy World” INTRODUCTION I once read that Native Americas, the Sioux to be more exact, at one time in their history participated in what they called a Sun Dance. As part of the dance, men would allow themselves to be skewered through their pectoral/chest ...read more

    Judgment Series

     | 5,283 views

    Many people have a hard time understanding or accepting the idea of God as a judge. We learn about judgment and the nature of God in this section. The news actually is good!

    There’s probably one question I get more than any other from those who do not yet know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior: “How can a loving God send anyone to hell. How can a loving God judge anyone? Didn’t Jesus say ‘judge not lest ye be judged’?” Judgment is a very difficult subject to talk ...read more

Someone who has done nothing or very little wrong. The most well known and celebrated saint in Australia, is ...read more
