Week 7: Walk By Faith, Not By Sight Series

Contributed by Daniel Habben on May 23, 2021

Does God really exist? How do I know if I can't see him?

The noted actor and movie director Woody Allen once expressed his skepticism about God’s existence like this. “If God would only speak to me—just once. If he’d only cough.

A Life Restored Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

When non-Christians were asked what is their biggest barrier to faith, the number one answer among Americans was the following, “I have a hard time believing a good God would allow so much evil or suffering in the world.”

Today, we conclude a four-week look at one of the most interesting people in history – the man named Job. Job is a really good man. God even calls him, “…a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil …”(Job 1:8). He’s so good in fact, that God tells Ezekiel years later: ...read more

Trust God Not Gold

Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 16, 2023

Sickening to watch people wear surplus of gold on their neck, yardstick to measure success should be exemplary character and strong mind rather than gold and wealth.

TRUST GOD NOT GOLD Job 31:24 “If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’…..then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.” There is a kind of obsession for gold these days, in places like South India gold and diamonds ...read more

Life has its seas and turbulence, it’s ups & downs. There are times when everything is going right and other times when it seems everything is going wrong. The good news? God has set limits on the tides of life!

Contributed by James Dina on Jun 26, 2021

Panoorin ang iyong mga mata at puso nang may kasigasigan. Bantayin ang iyong mga mata baka mahulog nila ang iyong puso. Tumingin sa iyong mga puso, baka sila ay mahilo ng iyong mga mata. Kung saan ang mata ay puno ng pangangalunya, ang puso ay puno din nito.
