What God Thinks About You

They say that you can know when someone is talking about you because your ears are “burning”? I wonder what happens when God thinks about you? Could God be thinking about you right now? In fact, have you stopped to think about what the thoughts are that God has about ...

After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer” (Mark 9:28–29, NIV). The disciples weren’t able to heal a boy possessed by an evil spirit, and their failure led to ...

Fetch!

I have a little dog named Franklin. I’ve trained him from when he was very young to obey the basic commands, although I can’t say he’s graduated with honour and distinction yet. One of the things he has trouble with is, “Fetch.” He’s quite good at running after a ball or a stick ...

Five Reasons Why You Shouldn't Obey God
