A few years ago while working on the house, one of my young children approached me and asked, 'Who made God?' When you have a six year old asking questions like that, its a sign of intelligence. He wasn't asking because he was trying to prove the...
What does unanswered prayer say about God? A prayer which produces no result isn't necessarily an unanswered prayer. I remember the day that one of my children wanted $100 to spend on junk food. That petition produced no results. The fact that they didn't get what they...

In the early part of the Bible, the Lord appeared and made a promise to Abraham saying, 'To your offspring I will give this land.' Genesis 12:7 (NIV) The word translated 'offspring' here in NIV is actually the word seed. That can be seen in alternate...
