Religion That Makes A Difference Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jul 5, 2021

Who Do You Trust?

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 25, 2025

God is in control, even when the world seems out of control. Kings, Presidents, and Prime Ministers can’t fix everything. Legislation can’t make people ethical. Psalm 146 makes that clear: “Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.”

We live in a broken world. What can we do about it? We could anxiously obsess over all the turmoil and moral decay, or rest in God. Worry is fretting over things we can’t control. Prayer is taking our concerns to the One who can change things. God is in control, even when the world seems out ...read more

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 17, 2023

They turned to God. That's the key, isn't it! Turn to God! That is what repentance looks like. Most of us probably think that we have done a pretty good job of putting the Lord first in our lives. And I hope that is true. Still, there are three things that we do need to remember:
