God loves to find His children yearning after Him and seeking His presence. Please find encouragement here to embrace that quest.
Everything begins with God, the Creator. Then it plays out in our known universe in His intended ways. In the end, it returns to lift higher still the name of the One who created and sustains it.

A discussion sprang up on a social media page over a religious dilemma. Highly intelligent and educated Christians each had their go at explaining predestination.
