The truth is God loves us and has good plans for our lives, but that doesn’t mean those lives are always easy. We all go through difficult times and things happen that aren’t fair.

Doubt in the Digital Age: Is Your Feed Feeding Your Faith?
A.W. Tozer once said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” What we think about God determines how we live today and where we’ll spend eternity, so it matters! But, too many of us get our theology—our thoughts about God—from places that are not godly. We allow culture, social media and the opinions of others to shape our God-thoughts instead of anchoring them in Scripture.

Are the Gates of Hell Real?
In the vision God gave to me about hell, I saw prison cells in a place that was like a dungeon. There were rough-hewn stone walls with gates and bars. The Bible indicates that there are actual gates at the entrance of hell. In addition, Scripture also says there are bars in hell. Gates and bars would be indicative of a prison, and hell is just that. Why does this matter? Because hell is an eternal prison with no escape. People need to understand that. The gates reflect its permanency.
Is Every Natural Disaster an ‘Act of God’?
I have often wondered why some insurance companies and news outlets describe tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, floods and wildfires as “acts of God.” I understand part of their reasoning: These things are normally beyond human control.

20 Reasons Many Evangelicals Are Deconstructing Their Faith
In recent years, a growing number of evangelicals have started what is commonly referred to as “deconstruction”—a process of reevaluating, questioning or even rejecting the faith they once held dear. While honest reflection and theological inquiry can be healthy, many who deconstruct do so not from a place of deeper biblical engagement but from personal disillusionment, cultural pressures or a lack of theological grounding. For some, deconstruction is a pathway to a more refined and mature faith.
