That is why we pray that prayer that God should arise and attack our ignorance, open our eyes and remove ignorance from our ...read more

Waiting On God

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 1, 2002

Advent reminds us that people have always waited on God. And so will we. Why? Because waiting plays an important role in our spiritual growth.

During Advent, we look back at the time when God became an infant child, born in a stable ...read more

Giving God Your Best Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 7, 2003
