How can we have peace with God? Sometimes people don’t have peace with God because they are running from Him, and He is pursuing. So we see God pursues us because He is the Good Shepherd who loves His sheep, even those who are lost. Pastor Tim Keller of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan rightly …
Why does God give revelation? Do you desire revelation from the Lord? Pray and ask the Lord! He loves to hear from His children. For several years I was involved in a weekly discipleship study at a local manufacturing facility. The people who were involved were just beginning their spiritual journey with the Lord. Although …
Are angels real? This is a topic many people wonder about, especially if you are not familiar with God’s word. There is nothing wrong with asking questions because that is how we learn.

Have I gone too far? Will God forgive me? This is not an uncommon question and perhaps you have the same question today. Not long ago I had someone ask me that very question. I walked into a hospital room to visit an aging person in our church who thought he was going to die. …
