Water is a very simple substance. It is colorless, odorless, and without taste, and yet no living thing can survive without it.

If we hold something in our hand and let go of it, it will drop to the ground.

Did life as we know it today come about through a series of random collections of spontaneous acts and happenstance mutations?

Is there really a God? It's a question many people ask at various times in their lives.

God desires to have a relationship with each one of us.

When another person is gathered in the same place that we are do we smile and say “hello” or, do we grunt and wish that there was no one else here but us.

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
