Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 1, 2022

In this “Dark Night of the Soul” we see the relationship between prayer and action through three things: Through 1) His Sorrow Matthew 26:36–38), 2) His Supplication (Matthew 26:39–45a), and 3) His Strength (Matthew 26:45b-46).

Does God Work In Mysterious Ways?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 25, 2024

One of the first things every Christian needs to learn about God is that He is incomprehensible, which means we are not capable of fully understanding Him.

I hear the phrase "God ...read more
