    How can I be on fire for God

    I've just came back from church today and the sermon talks about being chosen by God. God chose you, not we chose God. We love God because God loves us first. God sees your potential and your future. The things about the world is they always look at people from outside. They rely too much on...

    How Do You Deal With Atheists?

    In Luke 21: 8 - 19, Jesus talks about troubles and persecutions. (Recommended you read up on that scripture) For Christians to be persecuted by non-believers is normal and inevitable.
