What does Paul mean by “that I may know him and the power of His resurrection,” Philippians 3:10? (Sierra Leone)
There is a special fellowship established between God, Jesus, and true Christians. Jesus says it is very difficult to get to know the Lord. Difficult? Yes. God is so high and we are so low, it is difficult to get well acquainted. How do we do this? This develops as we grow in grace, in [...]
Did God send the coronavirus?
Many thousands have lost someone close to them, or known someone who has, because of Covid-19. Our hearts are touched with compassion for them. Some may wonder why God permitted this pandemic and all of the other world tragedies that occur so frequently. It’s important to understand that God did not “send” the [...]
