A response to the question, "Where was God when disaster struck?"

At any given point along life's journey, you may pause and ask yourself, "How did I get here? How did my life end up on this track?" The answers to those questions may leave you feeling like the luckiest person in the world, or like a victim of a cruel joke. Reflecting on your life so far may fill you with gratefulness or leave you with deep regrets. Looking back, you may ask yourself, "What if…?" You may wish that you could turn back the clock, go back to an earlier time in your life and ...

Will you take the challenge that Jesus is offering? Will you leave the ordinary behind, choosing instead to overcome whatever obstacles might stand in your way and obtain the extraordinary prize, doing the works of Jesus, and even greater works?

At this time, more than any other time in our lives, it is vitally important for us to drop anything that will not help us reach the fullness of our purpose. It may even mean dropping something that helped us get to where we are now.

Otherwise it could weigh us down and hinder us from reaching our destiny as we press on to what lies ah...

In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, one of the first commands that Jesus emphasized was about name-calling. But why did Jesus gave this command such a prominent place in this timeless message?

God invites you to cast your cares on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).It is natural to seek first to meet our own needs and the needs of our family members, but God invites us to make an exchange. He invites us to cast our concerns on Him, and He promises to care for us better than we could take care of ourselves. In exchange, He desires for us to take on His concerns, His priorities, and seek His Kingdom first.

This blood moon marked the first day of the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles.But that's not all.Because this blood moon occurred just after its closest point to the earth in its orbit, it appeared to be 5% larger than the previous blood moon, which occurred earlier that year on April 15, 2014, during the Feast of Passover.But that's not all.This is only the second in a series of four blood moons. The ne...

Have you ever known something was going to happen before it actually happened?Have you ever been thinking about someone you haven't heard from in years, only to be contacted by that person a short time later?Have you ever had a hunch about someone or something, only to find out later that your gut instinct was right?Is this a supernatural gift? If it is a gift, where did it come from? Is this a gift from God or the devil? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
