Everybody’s worried about the Chinese coronavirus, it seems; and not without good reason. As Christians, though, we don’t need to be. As dangerous as coronavirus is (mostly to old people), we needn’t be afraid when we remember: God is still in control of the universe. The devil had to ask His permission to afflict Job. … Continue reading Here’s Why I’m Not Worried About Coronavirus and You Shouldn’t Be Either
On Making Decisions Where the Bible is Silent
Every true Christian knows to follow God’s commands; and that this will shape our decisions. There, as we all know however, decisions the Bible doesn’t speak to. What car should you buy?
