A Godly representative lives with sorrow for those who do not know God because they do not know in whose image they were created, whose spirit they have within and whose child they are.

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 14, 2026

I Once Was Lost But Now I'm Found

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 2, 2025

Identity is not found by looking inward but revealed by God. We are lost in self but found when the Father comes running.

Heaven Exists

Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 22, 2021

As with numerous Biblical topics, many churches, under Christianity's umbrella, have different beliefs on these topics. The following are my thoughts as reinforced by the specified verses from ...read more
