God made human beings in his image, but once we engage with the world and the difficulties and complexities of life, we often go astray. Although He guides us and watches over us, life is full of challenges that test our character. Our choices can lead us down the wrong paths or put us on […]
There is no corner of this earth where God is not present. God is infinite. The phrase is often spoken but not easily understood. The idea of the infinite nature of God can be confounding and overwhelming. When we study the universe, we learn that —as far as we know— the universe is infinite; there […]
Faith takes work. It is not spelled out for you, nor is it handed to you on a silver platter. It’s not just about proclaiming faith but living it. This is easier said than done because life is not always straightforward, easy, or fun. Sometimes we wrestle with faith, other times it feels distant, mute, […]
Words are highly politicized these days. It seems that our culture has not only developed an intolerance for dissenting ideas but has—thanks to social media and the ease with which people can say what’s on their mind— saturated our lives with reactionary hate-filled messages. It’s so easy to say what you feel at any given […]

One of the biggest and most difficult questions that plague a lot of Christians is the question of achieving true unshakable unfaltering faith. When things are going well in our lives, it seems far more straightforward, but when suffering plagues our families, violence touches our loved ones, the disease strikes someone we’re close to, maintaining […]
Religious beliefs can be tough to talk about with non-believers, but it can be even more of a challenge when your beliefs are different from a fellow believer. There are a number of religions and there are many followers of each, such as Hinduists, Buddhists, Catholics, Apostolics, Protestants. Because of the vast amount of religious […]
Even though you may see the merit and truth of Christ, it’s not always guaranteed that those around you will believe along with you.
