Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 18, 2007

Climate change is not a new thing. In fact the bible records how society dealt with it in the 9th century B.C. Two leaders had very different ideas about how to solve the crisis. One chose the living God.

When You Really Need God To Show Up

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 5, 2016

The story is Elijah's proposed show-down between God and Baal at Mount Carmel. God doesn't want just part of us. He wants all of us, and he will tolerate no substitute, because he knows nothing else will satisfy in his place.
