Contributed by Paul Green on May 1, 2024

Are you experiencing a dark time in your life? Are you unable to make sense of what is happening? There are times in every Christians life when, despite our faithfulness, we’re suddenly plunged into deep, deep darkness. And we’re left asking the question – why?

She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. “It’s dark in there and I’m scared.” She asked again, and he persisted. Finally, she said, “It’s OK, go; Jesus will be in there ...read more

I remember having a dream one night that I was at this church, big, with many people. But it all felt dead, empty, and I left the building. Outside the building ...read more

These words should be upon everyone’s soul. “The spirit returns to God who gave it.” When Rachel died it says, “as her soul was departing…” When we ...read more
