| July 1, 2020The man was created perfectly in God’s image. And it was good, but when God observed His perfect creation this time, He did not say it was very good. He saw something was missing.

The Power of the Tongue

Your View of Voting is not Good, by S.L.
| May 1, 2020I do agree with some of your articles, like the one on homosexuality, but your view of voting for our country is not good. If you say that you are being a good citizen by voting, will you feel the same way when asked to help our government in other areas?

What Does it Really Mean to be Born Again? (Part 1)

Consider

Unlimited Slices of Pie

The Question That Changed My Life

Work, Work, Work
| January 1, 2020Most Christians agree that the love of money is not a good thing. Yet for some reason, most of our conversation centers around work, and our worries and anxieties are often about work. But Scripture is clear—God already cares for us, provides for us, and even clothes us.

The Root Cause of Anxiety

I Read My Parents' Amish Voice, By: N.D.

Why is the Amish Voice not written in German?, By A.B.

| November 1, 2019The Bible doesn’t directly command us to vote—because people who lived in Bible times couldn’t vote. They lived under kings and emperors who weren’t elected by popular vote.

| September 1, 2019Another month has come. Have we thanked God for the little things in our life—things like bread to eat, a place to sleep, friends, and family?
