    I will laugh at your calamity and mock you.. and other Proverbs.

    What we say and think and write is embedded in a cultural context.....even those who are inspired by God. We see this principle at work throughout all the nations of history. Those who resist these influences are often on the outer while finding them difficult to erase in totality. Here's an...

    Less than half of U.S. adults believe in God without a doubt, but majority still pray: study

    I think you have misunderstood God. Don't you recall how God related to Cain after he had murdered Able?.....or Adam and Eve after they had sinned? Don't you recall how God related to King David after he had murdered his tens of thousands? and don't you recall how the Father looked out daily for...

    Are You Dead to Self?

    Are You Dead to Self?
