    We live in a culture that doubts everything as a matter of principle. In such an environment, how can even faith be immune to doubt? Can I really trust in the gospel? Does God really love me? Can I really be of any use to God? We are taught to doubt but commanded to believe. Somehow we think that admitting to doubt is tantamount to insulting God. But doubt is not a sign of spiritual weakness--rather ...

    Authority to Heal

    by Ken M. Blue

    Have you ever prayed for a sick friend?

    Does God heal today? If so, why are so many people in pain around us? We have all heard stories of miraculous healings. But can we believe them? Why are some people healed and some not? Does God give ordinary Christians the authority to heal?

    Why Christianity Was Never Meant to Be Simple

    by Krish Kandiah

    • a compassionate God who sanctions genocide
    • an all-powerful God who allows horrific suffering
    • a God who owns everything yet demands so much from his followers
    • a God who is distant and yet present at the same time

    Many of us have big questions about God that the Christian faith seems to ...
