Don't Let Your Haters Get You Down

Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 14, 2013

It is a great mystery to me; I truly cannot understand how people with Jesus in their hearts can be so hateful and hurtful towards one another? How can they be so impatient and angry at each other? When that should love each other instead.

6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. 7 And the women answered one another as they played, and ...read more

Valley Life

Contributed by Terry Barnhill on Nov 6, 2006

It’s so tempting to believe that God will somehow protect us from such catastrophic trials if only our faith is strong enough, our convictions deep enough, our conduct good enough. God’s plans, however, are frequently confusing and mysterious.

I mean the tribulations of Job that rock us to the very core of our faith. It’s so tempting to believe ...read more
