So many people think that showing human compassion in all they do and respecting the rights of others, is all that's needed to live a “good life”.

Does Prayer Really Work?
Many Christians don’t know what prayer really is. To many believers it’s the prescribed speech we convey at church or when the pastor prays for the congregation.

Look beyond yourself
Some days it seems as if we have a bag of problems just dropped at our feet and we have to solve them now or else - but with little time, money or resources, and without the insight of where to begin or how far to go.
