When God Gives the Silent Treatment Does God hear us? In life there are seasons where it seems as though God isn’t listening. We pray and pray, but receive no answer. If God is indeed a good God, why would He subject us to waiting and silence?

How Do I Know God's Will for My Life? It’s likely the most common question asked in Christian circles: “How Do I Know God’s Will For My Life?”. Typically we are asking for the “big things”. Career, Marriage, where to Live, College. The big decisions are where we seek...

Kindness in an Age of Cruelty, Part 3 The tongue. It’s such a small part of us, but yet it can be so destructive. Words can tear down a person. The Bible has a great deal to say about gossip and slander. It’s not just a “little sin”, it’s a big deal!

Kindness in an Age of Cruelty, Part 2 The God of the Old Testament and the God in the New Testament are the same. That’s the truth, but for many this has been a hard concept to accept. In the Old Testament there is a great deal of judgement from God, while in the New...
