ISAIAH 43:19

What does Isaiah 43:19 mean? Isaiah 43:19 is a powerful verse that speaks to God's ability to bring new things into our lives, even in the midst of challenging circumstances. The verse says, "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Breaking Down the Verse: - "Behold" or "See": God is commanding attention, urging us to lift our eyes from present troubles and focus on His active presence. - "I will do a new thing": God promises to bring something fresh and unprecedented, surpassing former deliverances. This "new thing" is grounded in God's unchanging nature, making it reliable and trustworthy. - "Make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert": God pledges to provide tangible guidance and sustenance in barren places. This imagery symbolizes His ability to transform impossible situations into p...

WHAT IS FENTANYL

What is Fentanyl ? Fentanyl  is a synthetic opioid that is made in a lab from precursor chemicals instead of from poppies. It is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. According to the DEA, 2 milligrams of  fentanyl  is generally considered a lethal dose for most people. This is equivalent to a few grains of salt. Fentanyl  was developed as a powerful pain relief drug for people with end-of-life cancers. In a medical setting, it can be administered via injection, patch, or lozenge. Clandestinely produced  fentanyl  is usually a powder added into other drugs (cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine even marijuana) or pressed into counterfeit pills that can look like OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, Xanax, Alprazolam, Adderall, Ecstasy, Molly, or other pills/tablets. Why is  Fentanyl  being added to street drugs? Fentanyl  is much cheaper to make than other opioids. It is also easier to smuggle because small amounts are...

CONVERSION TO CHRISTIANITY

Converting an agnostic to Christianity involves  building a trusting relationship, fostering open dialogue, and presenting the Christian faith through personal example rather than forced arguments . Focus on addressing their specific questions through Christian apologetics, encouraging them to read the Bible (particularly the Gospels), and praying for them, as conversion is seen as a personal journey often requiring intellectual and spiritual exploration.  Key Approaches for Engaging Agnostics: Build Authentic Relationships: Approach conversations with love and respect, rather than attempting to "proselytize" or prove superiority. Listen genuinely to understand why they are agnostic. Use Apologetics and Logic: Provide logical reasons for faith. Recommend resources like GotQuestions.org or books by apologists, which address questions about the existence of God and the reliability of the Bible. Focus on Jesus: Shift focus from abstract theology to the life, c...

WHY DOES GOD ALLOWS SUFFERING?

Why Does God Allow Suffering? By: Bob Russell and Rob Suggs Topic: Everyday Life Suffering Perspective: Engage Let’s be honest: This is no easy question, the relationship of God to human suffering. Why Does God Allow Suffering? The wise and the devout have grappled with it throughout history, and not always to a victorious conclusion. St. Teresa of Avila said, “Lord, if this is the way you treat your friends, it’s no wonder you don’t have many!” At least hers was less an expression of doubt than of frustration. Others have taken hold of the Question as a kind of checkmate in the game of rationalizing God out of existence—or at least diminishing our view of him. Their line goes like this: God is purportedly good. Yet there is great human suffering. Since God doesn’t intervene, he lacks either the will or the power. If he lacks the will, he isn’t good after all. (If he’s God, he isn’t good.) If he lacks the power, he isn’t God after all. (If he’s good, he isn’t God.) It’s a stri...
