One of the hardest questions in all of Christianity is also one of the most honest: if God is love, why would He send anyone to Hell? This question is also one that I wrestled with when I came to faith in Christ. It wasn’t an abstract puzzle for me. It felt personal, and honestly … Read more
Have you ever been reading your Bible and suddenly come across a passage that makes you stop and think, What does this mean? Maybe there is a historical detail you do not understand.

Key Scripture: Jeremiah 18:1-6 (NIV) “This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: ‘Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.’ So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay … Read more
