    Though Joel is a book of Judgment, it is also a book of Hope. In this book, God’s people are made to understand that even in the midst of divine judgment there is always hope if they will simply and humbly seek the Lord (2:12-13).

    IT’S NOT TOO LATE! Joel 2:12-13 “Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of ...read more

    Calamities prompt us to ask, "Why?" There are no pat answers. Yet there are answers for how we can survive these sudden storms. It’s important that we anchor our attitudes in Scripture.
