Can God be Charged with Abandonment, Abuse and Neglect?
Worrying is an awful thing to do. How do we worry less and trust more? In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus gives us the cure for worry and anxiety. Worry is a very serious problem we encounter. Worry in these verses gives us an ideas of division. It like being pulled apart…

This is the Way
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise,…

Our Failures are Hallelujahs
Have you ever started a new hobby? New craft? A new job where you had to learn something you’ve never done before? Where you perfect the first time? Second time? Chances are no. None of us are perfect as Christ. We fail at things and it’s a perfect opportunity to…

The Squeeze
I like to think of the testing of our faith as a squeeze. A faith that cannot be tested cannot be trusted. I come to believe there are a few ways our faith is tested. Our Heavenly Father tests us to see if our faith is real. Satan temps us…
