I Have a Message for You
Jesus was predicted to return on October 22, 1844. When He did not come as expected, a small band of believers arose out of this Great Disappointment.

The Power of Fellowship
In a May 2023 press release, U.S. surgeon general Vivek Murthy called attention to what he termed the “epidemic of loneliness.” This, he said, “has been an underappreciated public health crisis that has harmed individual and societal health.

Angry God?
My toy cabin made of Lincoln Logs was a masterpiece. Or so it seemed to me as I sat in my grandmother’s living room as a young child. As I stood up to show it off, I accidentally stepped on my sister’s little cabin, knocking it to pieces. She ran to Grandma, complaining that I’d … Continued

Healing Love
I wasn’t paying attention, and my shopping cart almost hit the man in front of me. Uttering a hasty apology, I sincerely hoped he wasn’t mad. “Don’t be sorry,” he said with a smile. At the fast-food restaurant near my house I ordered a drink. I had underestimated the cost, so I opened my wallet … Continued
