by
Recently, I’ve been reading a book called “He Walks Among Us – Encounters With Christ In A Broken World” by Richard and his wife Renee Stearns, who is the president of World Vision – a Christian humanitarian organization.

The Winds of Grace and Truth
—
by
God does not lie hidden in churches, does not remain enclosed in a secret tomb that only gets opened once a week. He is the light that penetrates the clouds on a dreary day, the rain the falls down from the heavens, the beauty in the sound of a piano key being struck or the…

I’ve watched you walk along the barren road, Even extended a helping hand. But you insisted you had life under control Time and time again. Yet, in this stillness of silence All…

Faith in a World of Reason

by
I’ve had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge my whole life. I’ve always absorbed facts and been slow to believe anything without clear evidence. At the same time, however, there’s always been a voice inside of me calling me towards God without my permission, leaving me trying to resist it time and time again. I guess…
