    Have you ever heard of cloud seeding? It's this crazy science experiment where they make it rain by putting stuff into clouds. Back in 1946, a dude named Vincent Schaeffer made it snow by seeding clouds with dry ice. But guess what? This idea isn't new. Even the prophet Elijah did it. Even the ...read more

    Luke included the Parable of the Unjust Judge to encourage the people. The parable is about waiting and not losing hope, heart or faith. If we pray earnestly, faithfully and regularly, Jesus will find faith when he does return.
