We usually have a hard time suffering hardship, especially when we are in the right. But suffering is sometimes God’s will for us. "Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator." - 1 Peter 4:19  Read More

Grace is God‘s favor given  to them who do not deserve it. Yes, it is for sinners, but not all of them will receive it. "But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." - James 4:6  Read More

What sin has done to the human race is tragic. We are all sons of Adam and daughters of Eve, but sin has divided mankind and still continues to do so in ways that we should not be divided.

Because God is holy and just, He would not and could not allow sinners into heaven on just any grounds. He made a way to do so without compromising His holiness.

In human governments and across all societies, there is no agreement on who has the final say in what constitutes right and wrong.  But there is a just Judge who does have the power and the authority to decide and execute perfect justice.

We should be thankful for where God has graciously allowed us to live. But amidst political turmoil, crime, temptations, and much social upheaval, we desire something better.
