What is God Doing?

Do you ever wonder what God is doing? Like right now. What is He doing? If I base my answer on some of the things I see around me, I may conclude He’s not doing much at all. The world is in a mess, right? Wars. Poverty. Division. Hatred. Disease. Human trafficking. Violence. Greed. Deception. […]

Are You More Amazed or Offended?

One of my most embarrassing moments ever happened almost twenty years ago. It was back in the days when the internet and email were still in their infancy. I received an email from a friend. It was short and to the point. It said something like, “Check out these links.” Of course today, I’d be […]
