What is new on the website?

We pubish at least one new article each week. What is the inspiration for the articles and how do we choose the themes? We write articles based on the writers' personal Bible study; their own life experience; and observing what is going on in the world around them. The focus is always our relationship with God the Father, through His Son Jesus Christ, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Once we remove articles from the main page, they are placed here, in chronological order. You can also find them in alphabetical order on the sitemap.
