A doctor can prescribe medication for your panic attacks. A therapist can teach you to reframe your thoughts. But the Bible does something neither one can do: it tells you where fear came from, who de...

God doesn't need a perfect family to start a rescue. He begins with one. When the flood was coming, God spoke to Noah: "Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are...
After healing the man at Bethesda, Jesus sought him out again. Not to rebuke him.Not to shame him.But to protect him. "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you."John...
