Bible Reading - 4/20/2018
Judges 16-18
Luke 15:11-32

Welcome

We live in a society hugely affected by technology. Technology in turn depends upon good connections. It is our desire to do all we can to help individuals connect with Jesus Christ, and with other believers. We pray this website serves as a tool toward that end.

Highlights

• Scripture Preparation for Sunday's Message
  Read II Corinthians 1:12-14 in preparation for Sunday's message.
• A Correct Boast: II Corinthians 1:12-14
  We live in a world full of boasting. In the Bible, boasting is nearly always a negative thing. However, not all boasting is wrong. The issue is the object of your boast. It is right to boast in the Lord and what He has done. Boasting in the Lord is a form of exaltation; in contrast, boasting in ourselves is idolatry. Whom you boast in shows where your confidence lies, therefore let us boast in the Lord, who is our confidence!

• Book Corner: Why Suffering? by Ravi Zacharias
  Why would a loving and powerful God allow so much pain and suffering? In Why Suffering? Ravi Zacharias and Vince Vitale carefully walk you through a variety of responses that considered together provide a clear, comprehensive, and convincing answer.
  Responses like: Where there is the possibility of love, there has to be the reality of freedom, and therefore the possibility of pain. Wishing God had made a different world is to wish yourself out of existence. In comparison with other world religions, the Christian response is highly distinctive.
  Here is a book written with great respect for the complexity of the issue, recognizing that some who read it will be in the trenches of deep suffering themselves and others questioning the very existence of a loving God. Why Suffering? provides an answer to the problem of pain and suffering with emotional sensitivity and intellectual integrity.
