    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 15 ratings
     | 5,089 views

    Should we look at our relationship with God as a way to avoid life’s miseries, or as a way to get to know Him and find strength to endure the curves life sends our way?

The truth of the matter is that life is unpredictable. And so is God. 4. Don’t get me wrong: I believe God is faithful. But ...read more

     | 21,137 views

    Learning how to give God all your heart, soul, mind and strength, not only speaks God’s love language of lifestyle worship, but also makes it easier to love people.

    An author by the name of Dr. Gary Chapman wrote a book called the five love languages. After 30 years of counseling married couples, he came to the conclusion that each person has their own love language. The five love languages are words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, receiving ...read more

    We, like Job, experience times of suffering. The way to deal with suffering is not to look for our own inner strength but to rely on God’s mercy found only in Jesus, our Redeemer.

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God through which the Holy Spirit touches our hearts this morning are the words spoke by Job recorded in Job 7:1-7 “Does not man have hard service on earth?

     | 3,298 views

    False teachers are constantly trying to manipulate us in their direction, but we much choose our alternative from a position of strength and truth, not by guilt trips, fads, emotional manipulations, or slick presentations.
