We all face battles from time to time—it’s a universal human experience. Is there a battle you’re facing right now? An insecurity perhaps, or a lingering infirmity. Maybe it’s a personal tragedy, or opposition from a hostile world. Three thousand years ago, God’s people faced [...]

There are some things God can’t do. Yes, God is all-powerful (“omnipotent” in Christianese). Nothing is too hard for Him (Isaiah 43:13) and He does whatever pleases Him (Psalm 135:6). But “all-powerful” still has limits. By the time you’ve finished reading about these seven examples, [...]

Rumours that Big Tech companies censor conservatives have circled for some years. Now we have proof.
