You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 Most of us at one time have been to a circus or at least seen one on television.

But have you ever wondered why, besides holding a whip, the trainer would arm himself with a stool and point its legs toward th...  Read More

Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you. Jeremiah 32:17 When we think about our problems, we tend to see them as either big or small. Even when we pray for someone who is sick, we say things like, “You have a headache? No problem. Let us pray for your healing.” But if it is a life-threatening disease,...  Read More
