If God was responsible for nature, and nature is responsible for all living things – Wouldn’t Nature itself be God?
Regardless of your faith, we can all agree that “God” is “Truth,” right? And if God is the center of most religions, it’s contradicting for more than...
My dad is an international preacher known for having miracles happen at his events. So growing up there was never a question as to whether miracles can happen. It was always just a fact that they do.
Like most people, as I got older I began to question the beliefs that I had been taught;...
Rounding the final lap of my undergraduate career--a journey that has taken me across three universities, two majors and one life-defining change-of-heart--I often find myself on the campus grounds, as my night classes draw to a close, thanking my God for all He has done to bring me this...
