     | 707 views

    Some people live on purpose and some just respond to what the world delivers. A “life of purpose” is not something you do or something you have automatically, it is choices that each of us make. Living a life of purpose guides all our choices and shapes the direction of our life.

    Can Prayer Override Scientific Law? Lesson 2 Series

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Apr 25, 2017
     | 2,996 views

    God does not break laws because law is an extension of the nature and purpose of God, and is the power by which He controls His universe. Since God cannot change, then His laws do not change.
