     | 1,439 views

    You may have heard of a rather pompous-looking deacon who was speaking to a class of boys about the importance of living the Christian life. “Why do people call me a Christian?” the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, “Maybe it’s because they don’t know you.”

    Have you ever had a moment where God felt silent? A moment where prayers seemed to echo into nothingness? You searched for His presence, but He felt distant? If that’s you today, you are not alone. The Bible is full of people who loved God deeply yet endured seasons of divine silence.

    Go! And Trust Him When You Can’t See Him - Job 23:8-10 Job 23:8-10 (NLT): "I go east, but he is not there. I go west, but I cannot find him. I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden.

The first is when Jesus has a group of tax collectors and sinners who have gathered to hear him talk. Tax collectors were some of the most hated people in ...read more

    Where is God’s justice and judgement? Why does God delay His judgment? Why doesn’t He vindicate His people now? Is He unable to, or does He not care? Some had seized on the ‘delay’ in the appearance of God’s judgment as an excuse to ignore or reject the idea of God’s judgment.
