Remember, it is a theory and not proven facts. The facts are that as science develops, the evolution theory proves to be a more inadequate way to explain the creation of the universe and of life. The complexity of life and a universe that is held together, are more mysterious than ever. Science cannot prove the existence or non-existence of God. Science has no mechanisms to do it. Science cannot...
What values do we transfer and according to which values do we live? You see, what is inside will sooner or later come to the surface. Much of what we do and how we do it, depend on the values we have laid down for ourselves. Living according to those values – provided that they are honourable – gives dignity and deep fulfilment.

Much of life depends on your perspective on the world around you. Sweeping floors isn’t much of a job – but someone needs to do it. Right? Yes. But if you can only see the broom and the floor, you cannot go to the moon. During a visit to the NASA space center in 1962, President John F. Kennedy noticed a janitor. He interrupted his tour, walked over to the man, and introduced himself...

How can you anyway pray if you live a life that is not worthy of the gospel, the God to whom you...
Some people can discourage. Probably most of us. It is not difficult. Especially where there is clear evidence of a lack of anything to encourage. But normally mothers are different. They can “see” and “believe” things that nobody else can. There are only a few things that are more important that will change a child’s life, than encouragement and praise. And it is...
Carefully consider these three things – ask the Spirit of God for revelation – and then speak to God. First: you need an Almighty (omnipotent) God. “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” (Mark 10:27). “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”...
Ever felt a bit “dilapidated”? Feeling a failure because of your many flaws? Looking at other people and see the wonderful gifts and qualities and great exploits? It is more common than you think.
