The tractor would plow deep into the hard soil of central India usually slicing the big snakes hibernating below the earth. Their mangled bodies were brought ...read more

    God wants us to seek him, but we don't always seek him properly. Even with the distractions, we face in life, God is still there waiting for us.

    The Christian faith does not offer an illusory hope of life on earth without evil. Instead, Christian faith calls us to fight evil with good in the world as it is.

    "Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” In the 1994 movie, “The Road To Freedom: The Vernon Johns Story starring the great actor James Earl Jones who ...read more

In spite of what the unbeliever may think about God or try to accuse Him of, God has a morally ...read more
