Down through the ages, man has asked the question, “How can God be good and allow us to suffer?” We face struggles in life for a variety of reasons—sometimes it is a consequence of our own actions, or because we live in a sinful world, or demonic affliction.

Some things that happen in our lives are for a reason. But sometimes, things just happen. Ecclesiastes 11:3 tells us: “If clouds are full of water, they pour rain upon the earth. Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where it falls, there will it lie.” If clouds [...]

Paul the apostle said it like this, “This one thing I do…” (Phil. 3:13). To achieve extraordinary results, we must choose what matters most [...]

Nearly every revival had a connection to a younger generation, starting in Acts 2 with the young disciples of Jesus.
