Does God Work In Mysterious Ways?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 25, 2024

One of the first things every Christian needs to learn about God is that He is incomprehensible, which means we are not capable of fully understanding Him.

I hear the phrase "God ...read more

The Victorious Life

The book of Romans is like a jigsaw puzzle. It’s not a mysterious puzzle, the overall picture is Jesus. But there are pieces that have to be put together.
