    While the people of the world live without God every day, what would it be like for a Christian to live without God? Solomon gives us the answer from the book of Ecclesiastes.

    I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home. I can’t imagine what life would be like without God. But there was a man in history who chose to live his life without God. He was the wisest man who ever lived, yet he did the most foolish thing in the world. Solomon. What would life be like without ...read more

    A profound message that helped many! Sounds like an oxymoron doesn’t it? But it’s not. The wilderness is part of Gods plan. The Israelites wandered for 40 years in a wilderness to get to the promised land. They should have entered in 12-14 days.

Its purpose was to discredit the Judaizers, the individuals who instructed that the Gentile adherents should comply with the Jewish law to be saved, and to call all Christians to believe and have faith in Christ and the freedom that he brings. ...read more
