Contributed by Shelly Griffin on Apr 19, 2001

What if your loved one came back from the dead?

God’s will for you every day is to drink of His Spirit, worship in spirit and truth, and tell others about His Son. If you pursue just these three desires of God every day, you’ll live a full life without all the hassle and hurry.

Contributed by Paul George on May 27, 2003

Faith is one of the most ambiguous words in the Christian vocabulary. True Christian faith is not only to believe that the Bible is true, but also have a sure trust in Jesus Christ.

If we beleive this it should have an influence on our reaction toward the Lord when His will is not our will. How do we react when events happen in ...read more
