How Can I Know God?
According to the Bible, God is Spirit (John 4:24); therefore, He has no physical form. The Bible also says that God is invisible (I Timothy 1:17) and that no man has seen God at any time (John 1:18). Based on this knowledge alone, how then can we know someone Who is invisible and Whom no man has… Continue Reading

Overcoming Fear by Believing Action
The believer’s greatest enemy in life is fear, because fear, in its least common denominator, is unbelief; and unbelief defeats the promises of God.
