Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Life.
We must learn to do and not weakly try; for with Christ, all is possible – Just stop asking “Why?” Bow before Him on bended knees, for His Ways are superior to ours.

…been sinners in the past. Suppose I apply for a job that requires a high level of financial trustworthiness. The form says that if I have ever stolen from someone in the past 10 years, I need to disclose that fact and it will disqualify me from the job.

May the Lord Jesus and His Spirit guide you in the knowledge of His will in this area and give you peace. your servant, tim…
Question from a Site Viewer I’d like to start with the thief. Jesus had not died and arose yet. He had not completed what He had come to do.

We do not need to go searching for them. God does not want us to dwell on our…
