Does God Change His Mind?

Does God change his mind? This article from Ligonier answers the question well.

We Are Still Young

I enjoyed this glimpse of a far-off part of the world. “Gornaya Maevka—Mountain Gathering—is a village neighboring the Tien Shan Mountains. It’s a space where snow almost blinds you and a lack of cars makes you feel deaf, a town far too disorienting for its modest size.

“I’m So Sorry” — “Thank You”

Flashback: The Hottest Thing at Church Today

As Christianity Today says, “Despite a new wave of contemporary church buzzwords like relational, relevant, and intentional, people who show up on Sundays are looking for the same thing that has long anchored most services: preaching centered on the Bible.” Praise God.

  • Hope for Spiritually Depressed Christians

    We all walk through seasons where the darkness doesn’t lift. You’re praying, reading your Bible, doing the right things—and still, the weight won’t let up. If that’s you—or someone you love—there’s a book I want you to check out. It’s called Overcoming the Darkness by Nate Pickowicz. It looks at spiritual depression through the lens…

    Canada has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to its commitment to Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), its preferred idiom for euthanasia.
