    Time in the wilderness of life doesn't have to be bad news. It may be a time of spiritual renewal

    The wilderness is indeed a strange place. It’s a place we feel we need to avoid. And how many of us have been there and not enjoyed it? That feeling in our Christian walk that we are lost and alone. The wilderness experience is a place we feel we need to get out of when we are there. We feel ...read more

     | 12,026 views

    Sorrow is but for a time. The power of prayer, memories of God’s past healing and His loving-kindness sustain Israel. God heals the pain of the present in the same manner as He has healed the pain of the past.

    Joy is the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying: it is keen pleasure, or elation. Joy is more elusive, subtle, and nuanced than happiness. We can manipulate circumstances to our own advantage to obtain what we think will bring happiness, or ...read more
