The Existence And Presence Of Almighty God", Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 24, 2023

They wish to stay blind to the obvious and shut their ears to the truth that we are ...read more

If we picture God as harsh and judgmental, uninterested in the value of human beings, then that will be our modus operandi in life. So if God is the centre of our life and work, what does that make us? We have all heard ...read more

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 5, 2011

Born To Die, Born To Give Life

Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Dec 27, 2017

Most nativity scenes portray a cute scene of a happy little family, & friendly visitors. That's the way we like to think of it, but it's hardly realistic. When we pause at the manger with this image, we maybe forget that this infant was born to die.
