    God's people often ask "Why has this happened to me?" However, God is not so much interested in why as "what." In this fallen world we cannot prevent bad things from happening. What we do in response to them is another question.

    WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOD’S PEOPLE? Acts 16:25-34 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the ...read more

    Babylon is an economic system with deep evil spiritual undertones, and the elements of Babylon are all around us in the forms of idolatry and excessive delicacies. We, as God's people, are called to come out of this rebellious system, obeying God.
