Technology, both in its practical and technological form, has become an integral part of modern society. We use it in our daily lives not only for communication and entertainment, but also for learning and exploration. Yet, for many people, technology can also be a source of tension, particularly when it comes to matters of spirituality. With the power of the internet, we are now able to access any kind of information at the click of a button. This has drastically changed the way we interact with religion and spirituality, giving us more choices and opportunities than ever before. But while it can be a valuable tool to further our understanding of faith and beliefs, it can also be a source of confusion and conflict.

Waiting. I’ve never been a fan. But I find myself here again, in this waiting place. The place where I know God is sovereign. I know He holds my life in His hands. I know He is there. I know He cares. I know the very hairs on my head are numbered… as are my […]
Throughout life, we may experience sorrows for which there are no adequate explanations. Some are difficult events with far-reaching effects, while others are personal, private tragedies that alter our individual lives and families forever. We want to know why, but we seem to find more questions than answers. Yet even as we struggle with “why?” […]
With casualties going up in Ukraine, and the economy at its weakest ever, it’s easy to worry. What are you worrying about today?

Have you ever wasted anything during this year? Maybe time, words or even food? In the bible, Jesus fed a crowd of five thousand with only five loaves and two fish.
