Does your life feel chaotic and out of control right now, or is it pretty calm and relaxing? For me personally, things change from day to day.

Will you be making donations to any charities this…[Read more]

Why do bad things happen to good people? It’s a very common question and even the title of a best selling book from the 1990s. I genuinely don’t know the answer, but I have faith that God knows what he’s doing, and even if he doesn’t create adversity for us, he works through the adversity with us for good.

What do you think? Has your faith in God…[Read more]
